Description Here's the third in my trilogy of pictures combining iconic characters from the Star Wars and Star Trek universes to mark the announcement that J.J. Abrams will direct the next Star Wars movie. And they don't get much more iconic than Darth Vader and Mr Spock!

J.J. Abrams is living out every fanboy's dream right now - so I was wondering whether he's thinking to himself... "I really like Star Trek, and I really like Star Wars too. But which one is better? There's only one way to find out... FIGHT!"


The other two pictures in the trilogy:


This is an original depiction of copyright characters I didn’t create and don’t own. This is fan art – created solely to show my artistic ability – it isn’t for sale and isn’t available for reproduction. I drew this in Photoshop using a Wacom pad – this is a low-res version of the original.

***Updated with an alternative version that leaves out the text from the originally posted version which read "JJ Loves Me Most!". Also removed some filters that made the original image look over-saturated. If anyone notices the difference - let me know which version you prefer!***

I agree - but then so is JJ Abrams directing Star Wars AND Star Trek!

I've actually heard that J.J. isn't that big a fan of Star Trek.

Man, first there were a ton of Star Wars/Disney crossovers, and now there are a bunch of Star Wars/Star Trek crossovers. Wonder how many more crossovers there will be before Episode 7 comes out.

Awesome pic, btw.

Probably not any more Trek/Wars crossovers from me... three in one week - I'm all done!

You're right about him not being a big fan. He said he decided to direct Star Trek because he wasn't familiar with it enough to worry about screwing it up. He almost turned down working on Star Wars because he's a HUGE fan and is scared of messing it up.

Robert-Shane In reply to MillenniumFalsehood [2013-02-10 19:36:28 +0000 UTC]

Wow - what a hard life J.J. has. I really sympathize with him - it must be terrible t have such a dilemma!

Actually, if he screws up Star Wars, then I think a few of us will be tempted to travel to Saturn, turn Mimas into the Death Star and then blow up his house from orbit. So perhaps the worry he feels isn't totally worthless.

Too bad: the White House lied. They totally already turned Mimas into a Death Star.

mwahaha. You know what - I did put on some over-the-top lens flare - but took it back off because I couldn't look at the screen without my sunglasses on!

Damn you JJ abrams and your logic.

I wouldn't like to call it either - but I can't even think of any situation where this could happen anyway!

[nods] Yeah, my opinion went down a little.
Of course, given the movie was supposed to revamp it, maybe that was for the best.

Robert-Shane In reply to Page-Mistress [2013-02-06 19:41:24 +0000 UTC]

I suppose it depends on what it was about the old Trek that he's supposed not to like? I can't imagine he'd fault the concept, the setting or the characters - otherwise why would he get involved. But I could understand it 'if' he didn't like the lack of budget or the special effects or something like that?

Vader wins. First round knockout. No force for Spock.

Robert-Shane In reply to Aeruhl [2013-02-06 19:42:12 +0000 UTC]

My guess is that Spock wouldn't even get into a fight with Vader... it's illogical - no way he could win!

Thanks very much. This one's a bit different from the norm - because I don't usually draw the characters up close - but maybe I should do more like this in future because it means you can see some of the detail better?

Bryson-C In reply to Robert-Shane [2013-02-05 01:38:41 +0000 UTC]

By all means dude, more close-ups would be great. But I've yet to see a bad painting in your gallery so I look forward to whatever.
