[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39679226]He still looks like mark Ham, just fatter, uglier, wrinkly-er, and way older. Nothing some Movie magic makeup can't fix. I'm very excited to see them in the sequels, even if it's just a 2 minute cameo.

It would be weird though, Star wars and Star trek have always been competing against each other for decades. Having a main actor from one series be in the other would be a bit odd. It would kinda be like Elijah Wood or Viggo Mortensen showing up in Harry Potter.[/QUOTE]
Imagine, all the Trekkies, and whatever we call Star Wars fans, finally united into one group.

Well, we know what what came out of that:

(George Takei should be in it as well, by the way :v:)

Elijah Wood did play Harry Potter.
Why is anyone against this? This would be funny and enjoyable as hell, even if it throws you out of the film for a minute.
I wouldn't mind seeing Shatner in there. Sure, it'd be a bit nutty, but still. Shatner.

So long as we get Hamil in (preferably an important role) that new star trek tv series with Worf that they've been talking off and on about, I'm cool.

Don't worry, I'm trying to say he may be old but he's still got his charm[/QUOTE]
Damn it's like he morphed from a triangle to a rectangle then a sphere.
Charming.
Funfact, the reason they cast Spock in the reboot was because of the fact that Kirk would just fucking steal the show like he did in Generations.
Shatner is just that kind of guy that everyone looks at when he comes into a room, I love the guy, but he's just doesn't fit in with the new movies.

for a fat guy in his 80's he looks like he's doing alright for himself.
His nipples can no longer cut diamonds though.
He would make the best bartender in SW ever.

Everyone gets killed by Malcolm McDowell.
Mark Hamil should totally voice a character
Fat Old Kirk walks into frame in the middle of some tense dialog:
Visibly confused, he says: "This isn't where I parked the Enterprise."
Exit stage right, confused actors resume discussion.
seriously though having shatner in the film would just be a massive distraction
[QUOTE=Wookieepedia]There he met, and would regularly meet William Shatner, who was living in San Francisco at the time doing stage work. The two became good friends and, as Lucas explained Star Wars, Shatner joked "You'll have to name a character after me." George nodded and agreed, but never followed through. Upon restarting the Star Wars franchise with Episode I, he considered "S'hatnarian" as a title for the Neimoidians, only to drop the name later."[/QUOTE]
So it's not out of the question. Maybe just a cameo, though, I wouldn't want him as a major character.
I'd be fine with it - the bar tender idea even works good. What they would need to do though is basically give him a short cameo roll as a character with a complex costume or makeup set. Sort of like Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder only take it further. The sort of thing where people who KNOW about it will go "Ahh that's Kirk" but the average movie goer will only think "He seems familiar?".

Wait wait wait wait, S'hatnarian, sound that out, out loud, not in your head.
Who the fuck wants to be named 'Shat' especially with the amazing follow up of 'narian' it's like a librarian, except with shit.
That could work depending on how they do it.
One of the ways I would think off the top of my head would be like the cameo Johnny Depp made in 21 jump street.

The Doody Decimal system.
Come on, this would be cool. He obviously wouldn't be given a major role anyway.
