William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars

tekgoblin writes "Star Trek Vs Star Wars has always been a hot topic of debate in the nerd world, I honestly don't think there is any comparison between the two. William Shatner voices his opinion on the matter as well and he says they are completely different too. I just don't understand where people get that Star Trek and Star Wars are similar in any way. Lets see what Shatner had to say on the matter."

    Jim would win because the newly edited Solo would wait for him to shoot first. :P

    Star Wars devolves, Star Trek evolves. Look at that stupid "Clone Wars." My nine-year-old couldn't care less. Sad.

    "I just don't understand where people get that Star Trek and Star Wars are similar in any way."

    They are both Hollywood entertainment franchises that became very popular in the 1970s*, featuring space ships and other advanced technology, settings in space and on other planets, and titles that fit the pattern "Star ????" If you can't see how they're similar, you're trying too hard not to.

    *Yes, I know when Star Trek debuted; read that sentence more carefully.

    Now put in Babylon 5 and you've got some real *beep* going on. "*beep*"? Seriously, "*beep*"? You couldn't say "sh*t" or "s__t" or even "stuff", or just "*beep*"? The average reader here is probably 30, I'm pretty sure we can handle the occasional in-context swear word.

    He can't help it, When he types "shit", it automatically appears as "*beep*" on your screen.
