may be set a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, but one Easter egg has just placed it in Earth’s distant future for. They’re two of the most iconic sci-fi franchises of all time; one the brainchild of George Lucas and the other of George Roddenberry, each with powerful and timeless messages.
Star Wars is as much science-fantasy as anything else , but even‘s 60th anniversary; yes, it’s officially been 60 years since the USS Enterprise began its five-year mission of exploration. Meanwhile, next year isStar Trek: Starfleet Academy is everything a 60th anniversary show should be, blazing a new trail for the Federation while also featuring countless deep-cut Easter eggs and references. It’s set in the late 32nd century, in the aftermath of a, with the Federation working to reestablish itself as a galactic power after a period of retreat. The stars of the show are the cadets of the newly-reopened Starfleet Academy on Earth, and episode 7 gives them some downtime after a tragedy. A major meteor shower is about to pass through Earth’s atmosphere, and ships flock to Earth for the sight. All this leads to a key scene at 49:04, where starships fly over San Francisco. There’s a very distinctive sound of flight, and attentive viewers will spot a familiar shape flying from right to left. It looks like an X-Wing, it sounds like an X-Wing; while it may not actually be one, it’s certainly evocative of the celebrated starship, and there’s absolutely no way that wouldn’t be intentional.

He couldn’t resist adding a Star Wars Easter egg into the action; the Millennium Falcon is part of the Battle of Sector 001, flying alongside Captain Picard’s USS Enterprise.

In that film, the crew of the Enterprise travel back in time to ensure the historic first meeting between humans and Vulcans takes place without Borg interference. It would happen because of Zeframe Cochrane’s warp experiments, spotted by a Vulcan survey ship and taken as evidence humanity was ready for the titular “first contact.” That survey ship was called the T’Plana Hath, with the second word deliberately riffing on the planet name “Hoth” frommovies, and you get even more Star Wars Easter eggs. There are actually two scenes where you can see Artoo-Detoo himself, one in 2009’s. Appropriately, Abrams would actually make his way over to Lucasfilm to launch the Star Wars sequel trilogy with 2015’s. Behind the scenes, these two epic franchises are a lot more closely linked than anybody tends to realize.‘s best Star Wars Easter egg was surely in the Season 2 episode “Up the Long Ladder,” where a viewscreen mentions a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.
