>A few things. Number one, why is R2-D2 seen in 2009 Star Trek movie? (Enterprise warps into debris from the destroyed armada by Nero. R2-D2 flies across the left part of the screen). Why did JJ do that? Second, a rumor floating aroung that George Takai is considering a role in the new DISNEY owned Star Wars Film which would be a traitorous move. Third, JJ directs a Star Trek movie then moves to do a Star Wars movie? Then what? Go Back and make a third Star Trek movie afterwards? What is going on here?? When I saw R2-D2 in the 2009 Star Trek movie I was PISSED! I dont have anything against Star Wars but being a Trekker, I feel that there are lines you just don't cross. Any Thoughts?

don't forget the millenium falcon fly by during the battle scene with the borg cube in first contact.

True to that. Star Trek abounds with nods & winks to other fictional stories.
Have you ever danced with a Tribble in the pale moonlight?

ILM has a history of throwing in Star Wars images into all the feature films it does effects for.
The Millennium Falcon was in First Contact |

R2D2 is in the movie presumably because JJ just can't help plugging himself and his achievements.
It's a jerk off.
Nothing more. |

Sorry. Maybe he was touting to Disney for the job. The continuation/reboot of SW has been rumoured for years and both being Paramount (at the time) he must have known it was on the cards in 2009.
Anyway, as he says working on Star Wars may prevent him making Star Trek 3 (so much for loyalty to the franchise. Abrams has used ST to carve his way into the most sought after job in the business)
the news is not all bad.
The future is not what it used to be.

Sorry, I dont by it.
Those kind of rumoures have been around saince the late 90's.Theres no reason to believe that anyone felt the chances that Lucus would let go of SW were any better in 2009 then they were in 1999.
