There are some rivalries that can never be settled, even if they’re only rivalries in the minds of their fans. Dracula and Frankenstein. Beatles and Stones. Marvel and DC. And, of course, Star Wars and Star Trek. Since the release of A New Hope back in ’77, countless debates have raged across the globe as to which space opera is superior: George Lucas’ science fantasy film or Gene Roddenberry’s science fiction TV series. It’s a case of apples and oranges of course, with no real barometer by which to measure the two. (Man, am I mixing metaphors today or what?!) But if you’ve ever had a hankering to see these two beloved franchises battle it out, we have a trailer mash-up trailer you simply must behold. Prepare yourself for Alex Luthor’s latest fan-made Epic Trailer, Star Wars vs Star Trek…

Oh yes indeed! There is some mad editing going on in the above video, which obviously draws from the Star Wars prequels and video games as well as the Original Trilogy, and J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. Kudos to Alex Luthor, whose Marvel vs DC and Star Wars vs DC Marvel are other must-watch videos in this Epic Trailer series (especially if you’ve ever wanted to watch Batman wield a lightsaber). Now Disney just has to buy Paramount and all of our wildest nerd dreams will come true!

What do you think of the above trailer? Would you recommend it to your friends or have you seen better? Let us know below. In the meantime, live long and may the Force be with you.
