SOMEWHERE IN THE EXCITEMENT of JJ Abram’s being announced as the director of Star Wars Episode Seven VII, I forgot one of the unspoken rules of childhood: you can love Star Wars or Star Trek, but you can’t love both.  That was true for me: no matter how many times I saw an episode of the original series or even the animated one, Star Trek never came close to the place that Star Wars had in my imagination and heart.¹  I was reminded of this in the video that was recently posted to YouTube by AVbyte.  Check it out.

Special thanks to Michael Giacchino, who pointed this video out on Twitter.  Wouldn’t it be great if he got to do the music for Episode VII?

¹  The first Star Trek movie that I remember being excited about was First Contact, and that was because it involved the Next    Generation crew, which I still really am not much of a fan of.  The cool part about First Contact?  It starred Farmer Hoggett from Babe.
