Picard and Skywalker (Joker and Professor X)

 

 

Congrats, Uber Eats, I love these commercials.  Seeing Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamil together is a rare treat.  Hamil wasn’t always happy with the Star Trek camp.  When Lucas was farming out his FX company ILM to the Star Trek movies, Hamil didn’t like it and felt it was “helping the other team”.  Lucas didn’t see it that way.   Lucas viewed it as a way to make the entire industry better.  Keep in mind that ILM did their test runs on FX through the Trek movies and brought those effects over to Star Wars.  It should also be noted that ILM gets credit for stock footage from the pilot episode of TNG because they did the FX for the two-hour episode. 


Stewart kind of wanted to distance himself from his Trek background after TNG ended, but sort of embraced it once he started playing in the X-Men universe.  Both Hamil and Stwart have played key roles in comic books (Joker and Professor X) and played big roles in franchises with the name Star.  It is always good to see the actors of both franchises make fun of the rivalry.
