No Spoilers Please, We’re British
Modern society loves to label people. Put people into boxes. While that can at times be a bad thing, sometimes it is necessary for one to set your allegiances clearly. You are either in one camp or the other, never both. While I am not a fanatic, I have always identified myself as a Star Wars fan, rather than a Trekkie. If you are not a nerd or geek, you will not understand these two distinct factions and how this rivalry plays out. To the point where on the release date of The Force Awakens, Paramount decided to release the trailer to the third contemporary Star Trek film.
I recall the major event to see The Phantom Menace with my dearest friends in June 1999. This was an Inbetweeners right of passage moment for us. It was also the same day that Pav passed his driving test and we drove in his father’s white Proton. (Although, obviously this event was from the PBE (Pre Blogging Era) it is discussed at length over 10 years ago)
