GEORGE TAKEI Tries To Broker Peace Between Star Wars And Star Trek Fans…By Trashing Twilight (VIDEO)
GEORGE TAKEI tried to broker peace between “Star Wars and “Star Trek” fans…by trashing the “Twilight” franchise.
Uh, wait…who’s George Takei again?
If you’re not a Trekkie, you poor, unfortunate soul, you wouldn’t know that George Takei played Hikaru Sulu, the USS Enterprise’s helmsman from the original television series. Yes, that makes him a septuagenarian, and likely not worthy of your notice. But hark, George Takei is still a force to reckon with a 248,000-strong Twitter following and 310,000 Facebook likes among Trekkie fans. And he fancies himself an ambassador among science fiction nations, too…
Mr. Sulu…that is to say, Mr. Takei, fully aware of the ongoing battle between his beloved “Star Trek” fans and George Lucas‘ “Star Wars” die-hards, sought to bring peace between the two warring factions by urging them to unite against a common enemy.
Said common enemy being “Twilight.”
“Fellow Star folks, cool it down and shut your big wormholes,”
Mr. Sulu eloquently elucidates in a YouTube video.
“Each is wonderful in its own special way. What’s needed today now more than ever is star peace, for there is an ominous, mutual threat to all science fiction. It’s called Twilight and it is really, really bad.”
What is he saying? Does he not know how many millions of “Twilight” fans are sharpening their fangs even as the video makes it’s rounds on the Internet?
“Gone is any sense of heroism, camaraderie or epic battles. In its place, we have vampires that sparkle, moan and go to high school.”
George Takei complains.
“Now, I’m not above mixing in a little sex appeal to spice up the fantasy, but sci-fi fans be warned, there are no great stories, characters or profound life lessons to be found in Twilight. Nooo…In Twilight, the only message that rings through loud and clear is: ‘Does my boyfriend like me?’”
And apparently Stephenie Meyer, George Takei really, truly doesn’t like you.
“Let us band together to combat this mutual threat.”
The video, which contains some introductory rants by “Star Trek’s” original Captain James Kirk, William Shatner, and “Star Wars’ Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, has just very recently been posted, entertainment news learned. Which means not a lot of “Twilight” fans have woken up from their “Breaking Dawn” hangover yet and seen the video.
Are you a Twi-hard? Get a load of George Takei, Broker of Star Peace, at the 1:00 mark…
