William Shatner shoots his mouth off again...

Leia vs Kirk, ouch! :D


In an ongoing debate far more interesting than anything coming from the Republican presidential candidates, Carrie Fisher hotly rebuffed William Shatner's assertions that "Star Trek" is way better than "Star Wars." "First of all," the former Captain James Tiberius Kirk spewed in a recent interview, "`Star Wars' is derivative of `Star Trek' by what…10, 15, 20 years? DERIVATIVE!" The bellicose Shatner continued. "'Star Trek' had relationships and conflict among the relationships, and stories that involved humanity and philosophical questions," he said in the video chat that he tweeted to his fans. "'Star Wars' was special effects!"

Whoa! Those be fightin' words in this or any galaxy. And now Carrie Fisher has struck back.

"They're not in the same league," the former Princess Leia declared flatly in a video uploaded to her YouTube channel (see below). "I mean, they have the word `star' in the title, and there's space travel, right? Where did they go? Klingon? It just sounds like a laundry detergent."

I haven't seen Fisher this feisty since she was wearing a leather bikini and pulling on the end of Jabba the Hutt's leash. "My space buns—they're so much better than Nimoy's ears!" Carrie also pointed out that former vice president Dick Cheney prefers "Star Trek." Ouch. That one hurts!

1. Has she seen Star Wars lately?

I mean, she was doing a lot of blow back then.

That tends to make even the lamest shit seem interesting and exciting.

2. No kidding.

Gotta say I'm squarely in Shatner's camp on this.
