Star Wars and Star Trek are often pit against each other, but a cameo on Coruscant by the Enterprise proves the two are more alike than fans think.
A Star Wars Easter egg has revealed the existence of Star Trek's starship Enterprise on Coruscant. Star Wars and Star Trek are two of the biggest science fiction franchises in history, and often the subject of fan debates over which is better. While the story “A Death Star is Born,” appearing in 2002’s Star Wars Tales #4 does not offer any kind of conclusive answer, it does feature a number of nifty Easter eggs–including a smattering of starships from across pop culture.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Trek premiered in 1966 and Star Wars; A New Hope arrived in theaters 11 years later–and instigated a long-running pop culture debate: which is better? This debate is likely to never be settled, but the two franchises have inspired each other over the years.
These two beloved franchises have played off each other over the years. A New Hope’s success brought Star Trek to the big screen; Paramount originally wanted a television show, but the movie, despite its lackluster reception by critics, proved to be the right call. In Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones, while fighting the Trade Federation, Obi-Wan Kenobi says, “Target those Federation starships”—a cheeky call-out to Star Trek. Finally, in J.J.
“A Death Star is Born” is played strictly for laughs, but it also points out how silly the Star Wars versus Star Trek debate really is. Both franchises have inspired countless fans around the world. Likewise, the world views of the two franchises are not that different: Star Wars does not stress the exploration element the way Star Trek does, but both are committed to principles of equality and fairness.
