Star Trek star and Priceline pitchman William Shatner has been vocal about his distaste for the Star Wars franchise for quite some time. Even J.J. Abrams’s spot at the director’s helm for both franchises won’t usher in a new era of peace as long as Shatner is trolling Star Wars fans hard on Twitter. Shatner made fun of the first Force Awakens trailer last November, as well as the unveiling of the new trailer and poster last week. He wasn’t even taken by little BB-8!

Or the lightsabers.

With the new poster, he implies the new franchise was copying older space-adventure stories:
Not that old and not Luke. Have you noticed how they “borrowed” the spacesuit from Space 1999 https://t.co/PwqxOl2yWT

He has photos, too.

It didn’t stop there.

But of course, this beef is really about Star Trek versus Star Wars.
And everyone knows SWs is a derivative of @StarTrek

If you respond to him, he’ll just use that as another opportunity to troll.
Those that can; do Star Trek. Those that can’t; do SWs 😘 https://t.co/6UqpNBgtwo

He isn’t even afraid to sass back at regular people!
Don’t tell me to calm down after you make insipid remarks to me. https://t.co/NkeEAERsSZ
