If Sir Patrick Stewart<\/strong> had his way, there would be a crossover between Star Trek <\/em>and Star Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Stewart made the remarks during an interview with Men’s Journal,<\/em> where both he and Mark Hamill<\/strong> spoke about their new Uber Eats<\/em> campaign, videos of which TrekToday<\/em> posted yesterday.<\/p>\n

The two actors were asked about how they felt when comparing Star Wars <\/em>to Star Trek.<\/em> “I have to say that difference between Star Wars <\/em>and Star Trek<\/em> to me, is that Trek is classic science fiction, with humans going out to space and encountering aliens,” said Hamill. “Star Wars<\/em> was purposely set in a galaxy far, far away because it is fantasy, not science fiction. I remember a good friend that I had in the 1980s was up for a part in what was going to be a new Star Trek<\/em>. I told him I was shocked they were doing another one, but he said it was going to be ‘this whole new thing’. I said good luck at the time, because the show was already so iconic that redoing it without Spock and Kirk seemed crazy. That friend was Brent Spiner<\/strong>, who not only got the part and had a wonderful career playing Data but proved me wrong as far as the ability to take the series and make it their own.<\/p>\n

“I have been asked on multiple occasions about a rivalry between Star Wars <\/em>and Star Trek<\/em>, but I have to say I feel like it is really apples and oranges. You can like either or both, or none of them. That is why this campaign struck me as funny, because I knew what they were doing pitting us up against each other.”<\/p>\n

“I will admit that, at least for us on Star Trek<\/em>, we have fantasized about a combined universe between Star Wars<\/em> and Trek movie,” said Stewart. “There have been a lot of ideas thrown about on putting together two iconic universes, and having all of these great characters coming into contact. I would personally get such a kick out of that.”<\/p>\n

So how would Skywalker and Picard feel about each other if they ever met?<\/p>\n

“I would think that Picard would want Skywalker on his crew, but would be sure to keep a careful eye on him,” said Stewart. “Because he has a few personality traits that Picard might want to keep tabs on.”<\/p>\n

“I think Luke would very much respect Picard and the Starfleet force as a whole,” said Hamill. “The Rebel Alliance that he is a part of is much less organized, and would be put to shame as far as execution by what he would see on the Enterprise<\/em>. I also believe Luke is a life-long student, despite the fact he becomes a Jedi Master, and I think he would have a lot to learn from Picard.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
