Leonard Nimoy Talks STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Appearance, STAR WARS VII And More

He's right about Generations; they gave his lines to Scotty. But then DeForrest Kelley said the same thing and all of a sudden Checkov became a doctor.

I could see him as an old Jedi in a hologram giving advice to Luke or another Jedi. maybe as Kaja Sinis or Aenon Jurtis perhaps?

Since they already brought Kirk back to life in Darkness, they don't have to make a new movie extending that storyline. But.... knowing Shatner's hovering.... The Search for Kirk!! the new Star Trek 3.. They go in search of the displacement to pull him out before he was killed by that bad crossover movie. lol

He is a great Spock and does a great job in Trek always, but I agree to keep all Trekkies away from Star Wars. I think all you will do is make fans hate it and you won't make the money you want. his is a fear of all Star Wars fans is mixing anything to do with the two together. SlaveMasterFlexXx nailed it.

I'm sorry but people who knock JJ's trek need to really think hard on what Trek had declined to under the previous administration. His movies aren't better than Nicholas Meyer's (and Leonard Nimoy's) films but they're a damn sight better than Berman's trek films. Berman's personal hand in the finale of Enterprise is the single worst episode of Trek (and I'm including Voyager in that count) and his inadvertant middle finger to Trek fans (I'm sure he thought the episode was going to be good). And that was really a shame given what an awesome job Manny Cotto had done improving that show.

Sorry Leonard, I disagree.

@fettastic Nope, Star Trek is set in the future, Star Wars is set A Long Time Ago...

:-D

@yingyangpalms I wouldn't go that far, in saying JJ Abrams' films have as little depth as the Transformers, GI Joe, A-Team or Hangover franchises.

I mean, in the first, you at least have the themes of getting past personal differences and learning that people can accomplish more if they work together than if they're alone, conquering your fears, the conflict of Spock's Vulcan heritage versus his humanity and also of isolation or loneliness (Spock becoming a member of an endangered species following the destruction of Vulcan), and coming to terms with loss (Spock losing Vulcan and his mother, Kirk losing his father) and becoming stronger for the experience. Plus, the two films (particularly the first one) follow similar plot points to the original Star Wars trilogy, so any depth the original Star Wars had is also present in these Star Trek movies.

[SPOILERS] The second presents something of a commentary on current society's views on terrorism through the Khan, particularly if you think of how the character's race has changed since his last appearance which presents the notion that race isn't important or shouldn't be a focal point when someone does something bad, plus through the character of Admiral Marcus, his role as a puppet master for most of the plot, and also his position at the top of Starfleet, can even be seen to parallel some conspiracy theories about terrorism wherein people believe that terrorist acts were set up by the government in order to provoke a war (such as conspiracy theories of US Presidents orchestrating terrorist attacks, or colluding with terrorist organisations, to attack their own country in order to provoke a public response that favours war).

Then, in both films, you have the theme of destiny, both how it stays the same (e.g. despite the timeline changing, the Enterprise ends up with the same crew by the end, they encounter characters they've already encountered in the other reality, even fighting villains they've previously fought, Kirk and Spock becoming friends) and how it can change (circumstances of meetings can change, the new Spock seems to embrace or fall to his humanity more than the original probably due to the loss of his home planet, Spock and Kirk hated each other at first, etc.).

I'm not saying they're deep by any means, even for blockbuster movies, but give them credit where it's due, because they're not purely superficial, one dimensional films. If anything, they hearken back a couple of decades to those blockbusters, the classic blockbusters, like the original Star Wars or Indiana Jones or even the first Superman movie.

Sadly, that was a pointless fan-service cameo.

I really wish they would stop asking everyone and their mom if they want to be in Star Wars. It means nothing.

Thanks, @wavehunter.

I didn't know he was a Star Wars fan. I'm a Star Wars purist and even I think Nimoy would do great in Episode VII.

Such a legend!

Just leave the poor fella alone...

I still think they will bring Shatner into it, somehow.
