Hello all,
New here, but have been watching Star Trek since I was 4 and now I am 54. So I figure I have 100 years left to live if this were the 23rd century.
And so, if it were, there’d be no battles or discussions over tv networks and rights, because our current Ferenge-like societal norms would have calmed, and we could do more collaborations as a whole people. Also, even now, we can recreate a plausible set of characters that would make for a great show or series that combines old with new and looks right (kind of how young Spock and Rebecca Romijn as Number 1 looked quite passable on Discovery and Short Treks in the stuck elevator scene).
By the 23rd century we would all no longer be combative or overly egotistical barbarians born in the 20th century, and instead we would embrace all life and possibilities... a bit more tolerant of every idea and every species.
So while it’s been put out there on the interwebs before, here is just a bit of what my take on some sort of film or merger show would look like:
Star Trek is in Earth’s future. And from what many believe, Star Wars is both distant, and in a distant past.
Who is to say they weren’t the Iconians or the people that eventually became the Iconians, or whatever was falling apart when the Iconians left?
And what if, just like in many ST shows involving time travel, some ST ship and crew traveled back and somehow came across such a people? The exciting part would be as they are nearing meeting each other.
Maybe it wasn’t something the crew planned, so no one purposely broke the temporal prime directive or anything like that, but once they found themselves there, they would want to meet the people and of course there would be battles. Maybe a Borg cube followed them in and had to battle Darth Vader or join him. Who knows. Maybe they meet the rebellion and the next attractive Star Wars actress heroin and help em out but then eventually do find a way to travel back to their own future time because they must... and what Star Trek folks give to the Star Wars underdogs is a glimmer of hope that some day, some distant future does have peace in it.
I am just a dreamer. I have loved space shows since I was a kid and re watched all the TOS and later all movies and other ST series. I was there to see SW movies and have watched my kids kinda get into them (they are not so much into space stuff though). Also, of course, I watched Buck Rodgers and the original Battle Star Galactica was also awesome to watch. BattleStar fell apart once they did reach Earth, which had been the show’s goal, (and I actually have never seen the remake of that series) but it was great and I chose my name here because of that original series’s villain, Specter.
I imagine the meet up to be a thing of awe and tech, not necessarily involving who controls what network or what actors, I am approaching this like a 12 yr old kid who was into space shows.
Many episodes left one’s imagination going... like, so once the Enterprise crew beamed up and flew off, what did happen to the people on the planet? And things like that. Maybe this would explore those things.
