Well, why not. He fucked Star Trek right up, but surely there's nothing further he can do to trash Star Wars...

Rather than have my eyes raped by the pile of crap that was Trek again.

Other than Simon Pegg's awful comedy character? (not you Simon, the other one)

I'd prefer to watch that than Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Red matter that can implode anything? Fine, we'll go along with that nonsense because it might be some exotic matter that is just a convenient ultimate-weapon. But when the plot gets to "Ok, we're stranded on this remote iceplanet and the ship is zooming away really quickly and we need to catch up" it's a bit lazy to just say "Oh, let's just beam there using this wonderful technology that I've conveniently been working on and might beam us into the water processing unit with hilarious results".
Indeed, all the "comic" moments were a bit "errm" to me.

But come the fuck on, the ground rules for transporters have been around for years, it's just fucking wrong.
Come to think of it, Spock has Kirk ejected onto a hostile planet for no other reason than he's pissing him off. That's a much bigger WTF moment for me. Why didn't anyone else on the bridge question this?

About the only one who was in the least bit convincing was Bones.
Above all though, it's my belief that Trek is based on the premise of "it all turned out more or less OK for humanity, and then..." so to reboot the whole feckin' tale on an out and out war footing is utterly crass.

I thought Star Trek was based on the premise of Grown men running around in a gravel pit going "peeeow" with lasers at people in funny masks
Same as star wars, except they liked forests and deserts more

Repeat watching makes me cringe though, the plot devices are stupid and the Enterprise looks mildly shit.

But it sucks that you have to pay to get a decent top-level ship. Damn them and their needing a revenue source to run a free game!

I'm using my Klingon character as well. They have more missions where you can pick up Contraband, better drops too. I mail it to my Starfleet character and turn it in for dilithium.

also could follow the star wars tradition of getting the worst actor he can find to play a skywalker....just for familiaritys sake.

Disney bought it all, with the intention to release at least one related film every year (if not more - think the Ewok movies) starting 2015
