Star Trek Wars? - Star Trek XI Trailer Re-cut Mashup (Star Wars) #3 Watchmen

So I was watching the new trailer for Star Trek (I don't like it much guys) and noticed a lot of the shots have counterparts in Star Wars.

Then I wasted a few hours putting this together! There's a side-by-side comparison after the first one, because it makes it easier to see the shots and equivalents.

Huzzah!

It should be noted I hadn't seen the (or any) Star Wars mashup of the first theatrical trailer until after I had finished this, so I'm not trying to copy or anything.

Another thing: I synched them up perfectly shot for shot when I made it, but then when I put them side by side they were a little out of sync (for what appears to be no logical reason whatsoever) so there are a few butchered frames in Abram's version just to get them to fit together.

Battlestar Galactica baby!

I'm talking about the original one. Ya know, with Ben Cartwright and Face?

@UltramanII Yeah, I wasn't too sure about the technological direction on that one either. I am not sure if the new writers of Trek are trying to imply that pulse phasers are a precursor to the more technologically advanced beam phasers, or if pulse phasers are favored for being more powerful. I would think beam phasers are more useful for explorers, considering how versatile they are, but something tells me they chose pulse phasers because the visual effect is more exciting.

@Tranchera If I could give this comment 80 thumbs up, I would.

@Tranchera Thanks for pointing out the difference between nerds and fanboys :D

@milojthatch Part 2. Fundamentally, Trek and Wars are forms of entertainment. If Trek was not structured to entertain, no one would watch it. To Gene, I don't think Trek was important all in itself as much as it was a vehicle to carry forth his vision. That's fundamentally how I see it. At the end of the day, as long as Trek relates an enlightened future where humans aspire to improve their condition, it stays true to itself. Other elements are interesting, but ancillary to this goal.

@milojthatch Interesting analysis. While I would not try to jockey for position in Trek fandom, I will say I have watched everything Trek repeatedly with the exception of most of Voyager and most of Enterprise, and that's just because I didn't care for either. I also don't believe that to love Trek, it is necessary to hate Wars. Therefore, I don't believe that incorporating some elements of Star Wars in Trek is a form of Franchise blasphemy, but I understand if some people do.

@erentheca "Star Wars" has never had a "Trek" character in one of it's film. "Star Trek" however had R2 D2 in this latest "Star Wars," er, I mean "Trek from Abrams. You have a know hard core "Star Wars" fan who admits he never "got" "Trek," and then he makes this? How "die hard" of a "Trek fan where you again?
