Things look even worse on the evil side. Aside from Lore and the Borg, Star Trek doesn’t have any good villians. Meanwhile, Lucas can’t write a decent script, but many of his villians are top notch, at least in look.

The whole atmosphere of the Enterprise is jarring after you’ve been on the Death Star for a few minutes, but Picard somehow bridges both worlds. (Maybe it’s the time he spent as part of the Borg collective!)

Star Wars wins all the smackdowns –

Princess Leia vs. Counselor Troi
Chewie vs. Worf
Han Solo vs. Ryker
Young Anakin* vs. Wesley Crusher
Mace Windu vs. Picard

…all but one, that is:

Data vs. C3PO

* The kid is smaller, but he fights dirty

:-)

I’m impressed with the amount of work that went into this fan film. It does emphasize the tonal differences between the two series doesn’t it? One is utopian fantasy, the other herioc myth.
