“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone
A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments
so, in other words,
Pretty much.
Revenge of the Nerds.
I think everybody’s not considering the people running these ships.
Why would Captain Kirk fire on a random freighter as though he were running a Star Destroyer? Why would Captain Solo take on a massive non-Imperial ship as though he were a pirate?
No, they’d probably encounter one another, talk on the comms, and dock to get to know each other and possibly trade supplies.
Han would probably disappear into the engine room with Scotty to compare warp to hyper and argue over who has the best ship.
Chewbacca would take advantage of the universal translator and talk to everybody.
So would Artoo.
Spock would find himself having a conversation with Threepio.
Kirk would probably charm Leia into bed, and Luke would fall head over heels for Uhura.
Then they’d go their own way, all peaceful and friendly.
Kirk would not charm Leia into bed. Kirk would ask her on a date, she’d say no, he’d accept that, and she’d be so startled that she’d join Starfleet.
She was a general, after all. Why not go for admiral, too?
(I mean, whether or not she did or did not eventually decide to take Kirk up on his offer is up for debate. But Kirk would absolutely not charm his way into her pants. He’d ask politely.)
Kirk and Leia would get along so well. I mean, he’s the youngest Captain in the Fleet, she (I believe) the youngest General in the Rebellion? You can bet they would sit down and start talking tactics and shit, and compare notes and Kirk would be FASCINATED by the Death Star plans but also totally horrified and you can bet he’d offer all the help he is authorized to give and more because James Tiberius Kirk does not play nice with evil space dictators like the Emperor, fancy voodoo space powers or not. No dating or charming needed.
Spock would be asking Luke all sorts of questions about the Force, trying to figure out how it works and stuff, because it it Illogical, you can’t just lift things with your mind, says the Vulcan, there has to be an explanation. Luke just kind of shrugs helplessly because he really doesn’t know?? He didn’t get much training before Ben died, and would honestly love to know anything Spock can figure out, he’s really just been flying by the seat of his pants here.
Uhura would immediately make friends with C3PO because LANGUAGES! Chewbaca too. She would want to learn Everything. C3PO is very happy to actually have someone listening to him when he talks.
Bone and Artoo, surprisingly, hit it off like nobody’s business, and spend they entire time complaining/insulting their respective crews (in the most loving way possible). Artoo also manages to get someone to give Bones a bacta sample, which he is fascinated by, and determined to replicate.
Scotty and Han do indeed disappear to talk ships, engines, and alcohol. Scotty lends a hand patching up the Falcon, because despite being a classy lady, she is in need of a bit of a tune up, and Scotty is more than happy to help.
At some point Sulu and Luke have a sparring match. It takes Luke a bit to get used to the weight of an actual metal blade, but he manages, though Sulu still kicks his ass, and then proceeds to teach Luke some fencing stances and moves.
