Galaxy Quest > Star Trek

Absolutely. Except maybe the new ones.

[LoathedVermin72]

Galaxy Quest > Star Trek

I actually might agree with this (at least when it comes to the Trek movies).

[stip]

that actor who plays Kirk is really good.

[epilogue]

Chris Pine. Super rad. Love that guy.

Yeah, ST's always been better in long form. The movies have never been as consistently fulfilling as the series have been.

Having said that, I know nothing about Galaxy Guest.

By Grabthar's Hammer, you need to rectify that.

This is probably gonna sound really lame, but is it just the Tim Allen movie? Or is also a series? Or what?

Just the Tim Allen movie. Which you should definitely watch.

the kids are back in bed, so I'm going to get back to the second half of one of those star trek movies with strong acting, excellent special effects, and exciting sequences

You know, the crappy new ones.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

I came here for what I thought was abundant Star Wars news. Found ridiculous Star Trek banter. Came away feeling dirty and used.

Shame on you all.

just preparing you for when this movie comes out

[McParadigm]

Stip's terrible taste is it's most enjoyable when it's also being catty.

Concept production art leak:

Magical.

Spoiler: show

There was a rumored scene a while ago involving Luke wielding a lightsaber in a snowy burning forest next to the Millennium Falcon.

In the meantime, George had worked with Stephen [Spielberg] on Raiders of the Lost Ark. He was convinced by the end of Empire that it needed less serious stories and more rollercoaster ride. He changed the story outline for Jedi and we had a kind of mutual parting of the ways, because I just didn’t want to do another attack on the Death Star.

The original story outline that we had for the third film I thought would have been great. It was darker and it ended up with Luke riding off into the sunset, metaphorically, on his own. And that would have been a bittersweet ending but I think it would have been dramatically stronger.

I had some written materials somewhere. It was about how are we going to resolve the story of these three people; one of the discussions was about Han Solo’s character being killed in one of the raids in the middle of the story. Harrison wanted it to be that way. He wanted his character to end that way. So there was that and there was the princess having to take control of what’s left of her people, and be crowned queen.

But I think what happened was that there were discussions with the marketing people and the toy company. They said, “Oh, no, you can’t do that. You can’t kill off one of your main characters. It’s too salable.” In a way that still happens today with superhero movies. There’s no poignancy anywhere. It’s just a lot of action. But there’s no threat to any main characters. I guess that’s inevitable in this kind of situation where nobody wants to lose anything like that that’s important.

Uh...

To be honest, I'm really glad they went the direction they did on ROTJ.

So the Star Trek films are about to tank

Shatner is in talks for an appearance
