Star Trek and Star Wars are two of the most famous scientific fiction franchises, but they are very different from each other. The first is mainly related to peaceful research and diplomacy, and the second is mainly related to heroic battles that determine the fate of the galaxy. Of course, two franchises have some common things, including the fact that director JJ Abrams Held Star path (2009) i Stellar path to the dark as well as The force wakes up and The rise of Skywalker. But the franchises used to be even closer … specifically, Captain Kirk icon William Shatner almost had aliens named after him for Prequels Star Wars.
William Shatner in Star Wars
Believe it or not, we just know William Shatner Almost becoming part of the many abused Star Wars Prequel trilogy thanks to Sath McFarlane. On DVD special features for Family guy: It’s a trap!There are recordings of McFarlane’s own interview with George Lucas, and the manufacturer admitted that he befriended Shatner (after a meeting at a bar like Eisley in San Francisco named Hombres) while recording shooting New hope. In the end, the icon Trek said, “You will have to name the character in my opinion” … something he intended as a joke, but something Lucas took seriously when designing Nemoidin for Phantom threat.
Like many aliens In the distant galaxy, far away, the Nemoidins were originally very different and in the name and in the name. In that interview with McFarlane, Lucas claims that he felt that these cognitions of “S’hatnarians” were considered a way to honor William Shatner that he had a Star Wars character named after himself. Such a homage would probably be highly appreciated by Shatner, whose directorial debut (Star Trek v: Last limit) had a planet named Sha ka ree as honor Sean ConneryThe man they originally wanted to act as Sybok, Spock’s weird half -brother.
However, the creative process of George Lucas is a bit like the diet of the upcoming events: always on the move, it is a future. Initially was ready for William Shatner to become part of the Star Wars universe calling probably the main stranger race Phantom threat “S’hatnari,” but later changed his mind and called “Nemidine” instead. It is not quite clear why Lucas revealed the course about it, although we cannot wonder if anyone told him that it would be difficult to sell the “Shat” toys as half of their name.
Interestingly, although William Shatner was never officially part of the Star Wars universe, some Star path Fans think Lucas decided to honor the old colleague Kirk actor. When they said aloud, the first part of “Nemidida” sounds a many like “Nimoy.” Because of this, there are science fiction fans who think that the final name of aliens is a hap to the legendary Spock Actor Leonard Nimoy, but it has never been confirmed.
Honestly, as much as we love William Shatner and Star Wars, George Lucas definitely made the right call here. Not only is “Nemoidian” a better name than “S’hatnarian”, it is easier to understand these Supreme with the eyes more seriously when they do not sound as if they were aliens named after the hen. And for all fans with any mode of taste, good … We certainly didn’t need help with the binding of prequee with shit, right?
