If you talk to your Grandma or someone who doesn’t know a Jedi from a Klingon, the idea that there is a deep-rooted feud between fandoms of “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” is obviously silly. They are completely different franchises with different themes, different stories, and very different goals. But because they both have ‘Star’ in the title, there’s this perceived battle between them, a la the good ol’ Marvel versus DC debate. Well, the Battle of the ‘Star’ Franchises comes to a head in the new Uber Eats ad, as Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart aim to end it once and for all.

It’s pretty silly, but both Hamill and Stewart really do play up the grandeur of the duel, so it kind of works.
