Princess Leia Invites Captain Kirk to Suck Her @#$%
Metaphorically speaking, of course. Hey, remember back in September when WIlliam Shatner made the bold claim that Star Trek was better than Star Wars? Well, Carrie Fisher finally got around to making a rebuttal video in defense of her movies. I don’t know that her argument is any more well thought-out than Shatner’s (although it is fun to hear each franchise’s stars echo arguments spouted off by obsessed nerds for decades) but Fisher does seem more like she just wants to give Shatner shit instead of really argue, which is fun. A little weird at some points, but overall fun.
