Star ?

Update: College Humor does a good job here...

Star Trek week continues here at Lower Decks! Minor spoilers below.... Cory raised an interesting point in one comment, I had posted on it earlier, but now I feel compelled to expand upon it a bit.

The movie “looked” like Star Wars a bit, that may be a good thing. Star Trek design in TOS had some funny weapons. But the movie looked too much like Star Wars in two certain sequences.

1. When they jumped into warp for the first time…Sulu messed up, the rest of the fleet left, and the enterprise was standing still. I swear, if you listen closely, you can hear Chewbacca howl in the background, and then someone says “They told me they fixed it!”

2. When Luke was lost on Hoth Kirk was marooned on Delta Vega, they had those monsters chasing him, and the bigger one ate the smaller one. That reminded me of the similar scene in The Phantom Menace. So now we’re ripping off the (second?) worst Star Wars film? He was then rescued by Obi Won Old Spock, (ice monsters frighten easily, but they will soon return, in bigger numbers). Old spock told him to go to Degoba, and seek Yoda get back on the Enterprise and kick Spock’s butt.

Those are the most significant parts…at least they didn’t have the scrolling text in the beginning…
