PROJECT HAIL MARY Writer Shares His STAR WARS x STAR TREK Idea
Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, told Inverse about a crossover that merges the endings of Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In his version, the Genesis device exploding at the end of Wrath of Khan and the Death Star’s destruction each tear a hole in reality, forming a wormhole. Luke and Vader end up on the Star Trek side, where the Enterprise picks up Vader. Dr. McCoy repairs his cybernetic body in sickbay and turns him back into Anakin. When the Enterprise then enters the Star Wars universe, the dead Spock becomes a Force ghost and Sulu discovers latent Jedi abilities. Nerdist says it’s a kooky idea that shouldn’t be a movie or TV show but would make a fun out-of-continuity comic, noting that Lucasfilm and Paramount might hesitate. The author suggests Alex Ross would love to illustrate it.
