Since it’s like nothing, I wasted no time watching it.
corona on December 2, 2008 at 9:58 PM
I’m watching “The Universe” on History Channel, and some scientist said “Duct tape is like The Force, it has a Light Side, a Dark Side, and it binds the universe together”.
Tony737 on December 2, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Ummmm……. Uhhhhh…. Mmmmmm……… I wasn’t prepared for that……………. I need to go smoke a cigarette, pop some pop corn, turn down the lights and watch it again.
………………. all of my dreams have come true.
(taking the phone off the hook…..)

The best part is toward the end when Vader is using Force Grip on the Enterprise crew.
Fun-nee!
Lance Murdock on December 2, 2008 at 10:02 PM
There are some sick puppies out there… love it.
Zorro on December 2, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I was worried it wasn’t going to have a happy ending.
Thankfully, I need not have feared.
Drew on December 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Against my better judgment, I was compelled to watch it…you might say I was Forced.
jgapinoy on December 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
I’ve probably seen half the Star Wars movies, only once, never seen a Star Trek TV show or movie, but have seen SpaceBalls probably two dozen times. The guy lugging the Princess’ oversized luggage through the desert scorching heat and opening it and finding a humongous hair-dryer is probably one of my favorite scenes.
Marcus on December 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM

DaveC on December 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
This was epic.
bj1126 on December 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Ha! That was awesome! At first I was thinkin’ “Why doesn’t he just ‘Force choke’ ‘em?” Good work, who ever did this!
Tony737 on December 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Actually, this does not appear to be as “cheap” as the other TNG/Star Wars mash-up that’s also on YouTube. The two other clips I get a kick out of are the opening credits for TNG/Dallas and “Quantum Trek“
eaglescout1998 on December 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Geektacular!
Though I should point out that Kirk had a force of his own. Unlike Picard, Kirk had the innate ability to yak enemies into submission with long meaningless monologues.
highhopes on December 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Well, if you can’t shoot em…choke em.
boomer on December 2, 2008 at 10:10 PM
OH MAN!
I Can’t wait till the Revenge of the Data’s, The Federation Strikes Back, A New Hope n Change, The Phantom Episode, The Clown Wars…
Endless Sequels…. just think of the popcorn
Kini on December 2, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Total geek-out!
nukemhill on December 2, 2008 at 10:11 PM
Totally BS man. Everyone knows an imperial star destroyer could whip the ass of any Ambassador class starship.
keep the change on December 2, 2008 at 10:13 PM
They should follow up with Vader holding Picard hostage and splicing in the scene where the admiral tells Leia (now saying to Picard) “You have chosen for us which planet will destroyed first.” Then the Death Star blows up the Earth.
Tony737 on December 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Enterprise >>>>>>> Death Star
toliver on December 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM
I would’ve preferred a Janeway/Vader encounter.
SouthernGent on December 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Wait…. it’s not even a DS, it’s a Battle Cruiser.
Total BS. Vader could never use the force like that.
Wait….. why am I pissed?
toliver on December 2, 2008 at 10:22 PM
The Star Wars Help desk isn’t bad either.
boomer on December 2, 2008 at 10:24 PM
For the record, Star Trek is nerdy. Star Wars is just cool.
Spirit of 1776 on December 2, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Wow. A lot of cheetohs went in to making this marvelous mash up.
Mojave Mark on December 2, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Not to be picky, but that was a Galaxy class starship. The Enterprise C was of the Ambassador class. She was presumed to be destroyed near Narendra III while responding to a Klingon distress signal.
Oldnuke on December 2, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Ah ha, you fell for my nerd trap. (rubs hands)
keep the change on December 2, 2008 at 10:30 PM
…Actually it’s a Galaxy class starship. The Enterprise C is an Ambassador class starship.
itsspideyman on December 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Didn’t see you posted Oldnuke..
itsspideyman on December 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Raises shields, sets phasers to crispy, arms photon torpedoes, smiles gleefully.
Oldnuke on December 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Delusion. It’s what’s for dinner.
lorien1973 on December 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Not a problem. This could be a fun thread.

And once again, we see that bad old-fashioned evil easily defeats the smug progressive types — because of the weakness of their minds.

This video got me thinking about the hilarious Star Wars parody video, “Vader Sessions.”

FreeThinkerNYC on December 2, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Slow night?
Let’s see… the economy is melting down, the big 3 might be history a year from now, we’ve printed $8,000,000,000,000.00 dollars and are throwing it at the wall and hope something sticks, a Socialist is about the take the White House (as opposed to the closet Socialist we have now), the nuclear-armed Indians are pipin’ hot mad at the nuclear-armed Pakis, and the Iranians will have their own nuke in less than a year. Yeah, it’s a slow night : (
gmoonster on December 2, 2008 at 11:06 PM
As long as it is not a gay ass intrepid class
Squid Shark on December 2, 2008 at 11:06 PM
I’m probably all alone here, but I prefer Star Trek TNG over Star Wars anyday. Always had kinda a thing for Picard. I think it’s the accent.
conservativemama on December 2, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Make it so…
Bruno Strozek on December 2, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Impressive…
WisCon on December 2, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Although, yes, on a ship to ship basis, the Enterprise D could take a star destroyer, The federation never came up with anything as powerful as the Death Star.
Also, that scene when Picard ran his finger above the commissioning plate always bugged me. I would never expect things to get dusty on a spaceship.
Last nerdy thing. Remember on Voyager when they would go into that holograph exotic resort? How come 7 of 9 never showed up there in a bikini?
redshirt on December 2, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Ok, I have to share one of my favorites, Star Trek meets Monty Python.
behiker on December 2, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Dude, I can only dream of the things I would do in a hologram…
m064404 on December 2, 2008 at 11:40 PM
Actually, an engineer researched Star Trek and Star Wars movies, shows, and canon material, and discovered that a Star Destroyer would kick the Enterprise’s @ss. He used math and everything.
Frozen Tex on December 2, 2008 at 11:45 PM
That RAAAAHHHCKED!
ramrocks on December 2, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Dang! That was the best laugh I’ve had in days!!! I’m still catching my breath!
Frozen Tex on December 2, 2008 at 11:48 PM
In the Star Wars Universe, the Death Star can cruise across the entire galaxy in, what 4 days? In the Star Trek universe, Voyager is gonna take what, 70 years, to get back to Earth? Obviously, that would take A LOT more energy. Star Wars 1, Star Trek 0
gmoonster on December 2, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Why would Data not keep command of the enterprise and tell the computer to fire all torpedos at Vader??
BroncosRock on December 2, 2008 at 11:57 PM
Here’s the short version for the above link explaining how the Empire would kick the Federation’s heinie.
Frozen Tex on December 2, 2008 at 11:59 PM
Now that’s a Holodeck program to design.
I’ll name it Assimilate Me
Yeah, resistance would be futile.

Never Surrender! Never Give Up!
Well, the Protector got super-accelerated coming out of the black hole, and it, like, nailed the atmosphere at Mach 15, which, you guys know, is pretty unstable, obviously, so we’re gonna help Laredo guide it on the vox ultra-frequency carrier and use Roman candles for visual confirmation.
Kini on December 3, 2008 at 12:31 AM
2 minutes too long.
The Ugly American on December 3, 2008 at 12:34 AM
Thx Hotair!
I needed a good laugh.
(Admitted geek fan of both Trek and Wars!)
rightwingmom on December 3, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Nice one. I was rooting for Vader…I never liked the Enterprise D. Speaking of Kirk yakking enemies into submission, I was struck during the Messiah’s cabinet press conference the other day that he’s almost as big a ham during a monologue as James Kirk ever was. He’s replaced the ‘uhs’ with pauses to look at his notes, then every now and then, he’ll gaze off into the corner of the room and narrow his eyes; like he’s posing for some portrait or something. It’s like they beat into him, ‘even if you’re saying nothing, look Presidential’. It reminded me of Kirk sounding dramatic when he was ordering his ship to take orbit and do surface scans..overwrought tone for something routine. Annoying.
austinnelly on December 3, 2008 at 12:54 AM
I hope Michelle knows Allah is running hot air into the ground. He’s obviously getting bored of this job.
anti-boomer on December 3, 2008 at 12:56 AM
Thank you for making my day!
HawaiiLwyr on December 3, 2008 at 1:10 AM
Star Wars is for people who didn’t have the attention span for Star Trek.
theregoestheneighborhood on December 3, 2008 at 1:18 AM
Sure. When you have to study your entertainment = nerd. When you can enjoy something without previous knowledge and it almost universally enjoyed still = cool.
Spirit of 1776 on December 3, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Science fiction is my excape from Steven Hawkings liberalism

that was funny
cayman on December 3, 2008 at 2:15 AM
In the Star Wars Universe, the Millennium Falcon can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Star Wars MINUS 5!
Um, does your collie know something I don’t? Should I not volunteer for the away mission?
redshirt on December 3, 2008 at 2:35 AM
Isn’t a parsec like 3.25 lightyears? That’s a measurement of distance, not time. How can you go somewhere in less than the distance between them?
NOW we know the real reason Jabba the Hutt was pissed at Solo for dumping the cargo. “The effing planet is 12.5 parsecs away, idiot! You can’t make it in less than 12 parsecs.”
Wino on December 3, 2008 at 2:42 AM
Somewhere near Kessel, tons of Hutt treasure is floating aimlessly through space.
Wino on December 3, 2008 at 2:43 AM
That’s right, it’s a measure of distance, which is why the minus 5. One of the biggest film flubs in history. Unless, that is, Han was saying that he knew a shortcut…
redshirt on December 3, 2008 at 2:45 AM
This is so pathetically sad that I almost feel sorry for you.
Almost.
platypus on December 3, 2008 at 3:02 AM
Best parody EVAH —– Star Wars, Ep3, deleted sex scene!
Tony737 on December 3, 2008 at 3:13 AM
Actually, in the Star Wars universe, galaxies are only about 10 miles in diameter. That’s why all the same characters keep showing up in all 6 episodes.
SPCOlympics on December 3, 2008 at 4:29 AM
I’m pretty sure if the Enterprise had just reversed the polarity of the Force, they could have used the resulting light side energy against Vader. Seriously, it works every time. That, and tachyon pulses.
Eric12470210 on December 3, 2008 at 4:40 AM
How about “The Empire Strikes Barack?” Or would that be just too cheesy?
Squiggy on December 3, 2008 at 6:30 AM
I can’t help thinking that Steven Hawkings is a vegetable but made to seem intelligent by his handlers as a joke on academia.
Right_of_Attila on December 3, 2008 at 7:34 AM
On the my last ship the running joke was:
“You put the shield Generator where?”
“I said INDOORS you idiot, not ENDOR!”
Squid Shark on December 3, 2008 at 7:43 AM
I admit Kirk could talk a bit, but nothing like Picard.
If this had been Kirk and the gang – that use of the force would have been used against photon torpedoes.
Kirk would still be the man!
kybowexar on December 3, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Money!
jdsmith0021 on December 3, 2008 at 8:23 AM
I’m the Star Trek nerd married to the Star Wars geek. We comprimised a long time ago: His lightsaber is allowed on the mantel, and we go to a Trekkie fan convention every year (Shore Leave).
And I love Picard, love him. I’d have loved Vader too, if he hadn’t been such a winey b*tch in the second and third episodes.
Anna on December 3, 2008 at 8:39 AM
/facepalm
Sounds like we are gonna need more than Kirk and Company for this one… I was thinking the 101st & 82nd Airborne!
Mark Garnett on December 3, 2008 at 8:44 AM
**** We have a winner ! +100
Mark Garnett on December 3, 2008 at 8:46 AM
On my last ship (DLGN-25) we had a Mattel Vroom motor(you can google it) in the forward engine room that we’d spin by hand and when the FNG’s inquired about the noise we’d tell them we were raising our shields or powering up phasers.
Oldnuke on December 3, 2008 at 8:54 AM
That’s going to give me fracking nightmares.
MamaAJ on December 3, 2008 at 8:55 AM
That was better that the whole Stars Wars saga.
TheSitRep on December 3, 2008 at 9:01 AM
Given a reference velocity, distance and time are equivalent. It’s a stretch, but that’s the only excuse I can come up with for that clanger.

“Is there any nudity in it” ZOMG!
Neo on December 3, 2008 at 9:37 AM
Okay all you Treksters, the Kessel run is the route smugglers take to sneak glitterstim spice off Kessel. The run is 18 parsecs, and takes you around the Maw, which is a cluster of black holes. Some smugglers, like Han solo and BoShek, who actually beat Solo’s record, liked to shave some distance off by flying close to the Maw.
And for all you Treksters who think the worst built ship in science fiction history could take on an Imperial class Star Destroyer, I ask you to watch the Last Bastion on youtube. Hilarious.
thekingtut on December 3, 2008 at 9:38 AM
Yes, Data must find someone Strong in the Force…
So… he’s going to get Denny Crane….

Ha, we would take our FNGs to the S2 shop before a trip outside the wire and have the WO give a junk shrinking sitrep for what was actually the quietest sector in our AO. As we wrote the patrol order we’d tell them that since they just got the latest training they were going to walk point. If you have to spend 5 days in the bush as mosquito chow to bust a noob cherry you gotta find your humor where you can.
Alden Pyle on December 3, 2008 at 10:09 AM
The numbers at that sight don’t even begin to makes sense, though that is probably because the tech manual types didn’t know what they were writing. Trillions of gigatons? I’m pretty sure they have shows with those weapons hitting unshielded craft without utterly vaporizing them and causing massive emp effects to blanket the near by planets.
Count to 10 on December 3, 2008 at 10:21 AM
Did you ever let one of them carry a nuclear hand grenade while walking point?
