i never understood the appeal of a shared universe. why characters from two wholly separate fictions should interact, or why that’s even interesting.
It depends upon your point of view really. I don’t know anything about your background but if you spend enough time with geeks the eventual, “X could kick Y’s ass!” will come up. Though, thinking about it, I suppose it can come up in other circles but just won’t have the same flavor.
I remember playing West End’s Star Wars RPG when I first began role-playing. We chopped up the galaxy into sections our respective characters represented/controlled. And we brought in elements from other sci-fi because we were fans of them as well. So, my one friend, his section of the galaxy was devoted to Star Trek ships. Mine happen to be dedicated to Babylon 5 ships. All within the Star Wars universe.
It’s a bit like mixing peanut butter and chocolate. Two (or three or four or five) great tastes that seem to taste great together.
So, in the case of this video, you have characters that everyone involved is probably fond of coming together in a giant geek-gasm. It’s not done to preserve the integrity of their individual settings (obviously) but because you like them all and want to play with all your toys in a single sandbox.
i get all that, i guess to me it’s more important to preserve the individual settings. star trek craft in a star wars universe? just doesn’t make sense. the cool thing about sw is how crappy and soviet everything is and it seems like having some shiny star trek perfect-universe ships flying around really takes away from that. but, of course, to each his own. i’m sure this made the creators (and lots of other people) happy, so more power to them.
Yeah, if you want to preserve individual settings then, yes, crossovers won’t be your bag.
I’m just interested in having fun.
And answering the question: Can a Super Star Destroyer take out a Vorlon cruiser?
Important questions like that will never get answered without a crossover.
BTW: The answer is “no” to the question above.
