Fans of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" have been at odds since 1977, when George Lucas launched his sci-fi revolution with "Star Wars: A New Hope." Taking into account how completely serious and un-ironic the feud is, it seems like a peace accord is light years away. But George Takei, who played Hikaru Sulu in the original "Star Trek" series with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, has identified a common enemy: "Twilight."

Takei explained in a recent recording, "Gone is any sense of heroism, camaraderie or epic battle. In its place we have vampires that sparkle, moan and go to high school. Sci-fi fans be warned, there are no great stories, characters or profound life lessons to be found in Twilight... In Twilight, the only message that rings through loud and clear is: 'Does my boyfriend like me?'" You don't have to be Vulcan to see the logic in that.

I did enjoy watching the film and reading th book (the book is way better), but I would never, EVER consider it good sci-fi. It is more romance than anything, I just watch it for that, even if it sucks (the book doesn't suck as much if you look at it as a romance novel).
Any annoying someone who says "Twilight is the BEST book I've ever read!" I want to give them a copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Sense and Sensibility and tell them to shut up. Anyone who says it should win an Oscar I would roll my eyes and make them watch Gone With The Wind.
No way is Twilight better than Star Wars or Star Trek, those are classics! You never compare trends to classics!

Twilight is not a man's film/book series. Therefore, men who are dragged to it by their other halves make fun of it. If all men would put their foot down and say,'no', to seeing this franchise, they'd be a lot happier! Why not have two fan groups unite to let Twilight fans know that their fantasy is full of boloney?!

star treck has a more interesting plot, unigue character, and it took a long time of create
twilight is a woman's wet dream with a stolen plot, the characters are predictable, and it was basically all done before (she even contredicted herself in her own books!)

meanwhile Breaking Down added $633,402,669 to $1.8 billion that a franchise has already grossed worldwide( wait until DVD and other stuff come out..). there are 140,000,000-170,000,000 results for Robert Pattinson's name on Google every day. "Let me sign" song has had around 20,000,000 hits on youtube.. i can go on and on.. WHO WOULDN'T BE JEALOUS OF THIS? SOME WOULD KILL..:)
Takei craves some attention? any time, he just has to go somewhere where people are in need of help or to donate money to charity..or, at least, to show his many talents in some other movie than Star Trek. i know, the glory of Gerastratus is much easily achieved...

The only reason that B.D. has those numbers is repeat loyal fans going back several times. Ask any man if he wants to go see it and he'll say no way, that he'd rather do Christmas shopping instead,(which is were everyone should be to begin with). I'm sure that Mr. Takei was in other movies than Star Trek. He was in Heroes, the TV series. He doesn't just do charity work.

Twilight will die out after Breaking Down part 2. Unlike Star Trek and Star Wars, they can have thousand of storylines in each of their "galaxies" for many years to come. I just can't picture 'Vampires' in Space, that would be plain dumb

I like Star Trek and Star Wars, and while I admit that SW seems pretty silly when compared to ST I think the main factor to consider is that George Lucas does fantasy, not science-fiction. Really, is there even much of a pretense at true science in the original Star Wars films? What I'm saying is, this is more a matter of science-fiction and fantasy uniting.

But yes, I think the fans of both franchises can unite against Twilight.

I love ST, but the one problem with setting it within the actual timeline of human events is that there are already big holes forming in the plot. According to ST, Kahn was shot into space in 1996...
