   Not really. JJ Abrams has been reported as saying he is a fan of Star Wars   
   and did not really like Star Trek. It's no surprise that he made his movie   
   more Warsy than Treky (as well as ignoring whatever established facts that   
   he wanted!). The fact that Paramount employed such a person to do a "Star   
   Trek" movie is just further proof of how moronic Hollyweird has become - if   
   you're going to make a movie for an established franchise, then you employ   
   someone who knows what they're doing and likes what the original franchise.   
   :-(   
      
   According to the official StarWars.com junk email, there's an R2-D2 'Easter   
   Egg' in the movie somewhere.   
      
      
   On a similar idea, watching the first episode of the TV show "Legend of the   
   Seeker" a few weeks ago had me seeing all sorts of Star Wars similarities   
   too.  :-)
