I can see this working, especially after the mess that was the 3 most recent Star Trek films.

How? Star Trek is all about restraint, honor, and typically more dialogue than action driven. It’s all about making tough moral decisions with lives on the line. Star Wars is nearly all about action. The action develops the characters, not the other way around. Tarantino crafts great characters, but he breads his butter with great action. I could see Tarantino directing a flic based around KOTOR or Obi Wan. I can’t see him confined to the captain’s chair.


Have you actually ever seen a Tarantino movie?

Could be interesting, but only as long as someone else puts a comb through the dialogue. Otherwise every scene will sound like a roomful of Tarantinos talking to one another, regardless of race or species.

Tarantino doing Sci Fi would be incredible.

What the...what?

Star Wars is action-adventure, pop films. The focus tends to be more on the action moving the plot forward, with mythology thrown in.

Star Trek is political, often dialogue driven, and situation driven. At least to me. And Star Trek often takes some pretty big risks.


Trek is perfect for QT to do his own thing. Star Wars makes no sense whatsoever. You see what happened when Lord/Miller tried to do something outside the box with the Han Solo movie...they got canned.

A star wars Lando calrissian
Film.

It would actually fit Tarantino as a small time smuggler and gangster rises up to legitimate business and rebel general.

I've said it before, Tarantino could direct a short animated film about two butterflies that rescue a worm from a lizard and I'd buy two cinema tickets.

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’ Will Be R-Rated: ‘The Revenant’s Mark L. Smith Frontrunner Scribe

Tarantino has required it to be R rated, and Paramount and Abrams agreed to that condition.


Duh.

Kind of most interesting that QT isn't writing it.

He came up with the idea and will likely direct, but someone else is writing the script.

Hmmm. I wonder if this will count towards his films for retirement.

There's also rumors that Captain Picard might show up in Tarantino's Star Trek.

Anything beats what’s been going on with the new Trek universe. JJ Abrams is a curse on modern cinema and whoever’s idea it was to put him behind Star Trek and Star Wars should be publically tortured and executed.

Would it be told in a random order with some scenes with heavy $5 word dialog.
