The opportunity to name a force is a momentous responsibility. Guardians is a name with a long history in space operations, tracing back to the original command motto of Air Force Space Command in 1983, “Guardians of the High Frontier.”— United States Space Force (@SpaceForceDoD) December 18, 2020

bunch a maroons...'cept Shatner...

Hamill: “So they grab the ‘Guardians’ from your movies, they use the ‘Force’ from our movies..."

Did this moron ever hear of the United States Air Force? It's more like Lucas stole the word "Force" from the United States Air Force.

[nevergore]

USAF is too busy playing golf to sue Space Force........

Sorry, ex-Navy Aviation..... :^)

Merry Christmas!

[mad_as_he$$]

Shatner is funny as he$$. He just doesn’t care, that is true freedom.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Most illogical.

The first USS Enterprise ship was launched 6 years before Pike, Kirk, and the space ship flew on TV.

The first USS Enterprise ship was at the battle of Midway in 1942 before Pike, Kirk, and the space ship flew on TV.

FIFY

[ssapro]

Even before that. CV-6 USS Enterprise was launched 3 October 1936 and was nicknamed the Grey Ghost because the Japanese claimed to have sunk her three times.

[mad_as_he$$]

No, the first US Enterprise was built in 1776.

[Huskrrrr]

In the words of Shatner addressing Trekkies years ago on an SNL skit:

“Get a life.”

[SpaceBar]

Hamill is a stopped clock, but he's right about this.

The Space Force is being turned into a joke.

Yup. It's absolutely cringeworthy how absolutely tone-deaf gov types are. Barely exists and are already given stupid name decided on by some government toady that makes them sound like intergalactic faggots.

[Pez149]

These actors forget one important fact.
You played fictional characters and this the real McCoy.

Big Difference....

[stylin19a]

...intergalactic faggots....

so that would make them Ferengi ?

[SpaceBar]

I always liked William Shatner. Seems like a pretty down to earth guy for a starship captain.

[colorado tanker]

They’re not going to be called Spacemen? Or Spacepersons? Maybe youse guys?

[T.B. Yoits]

The Space Force is being turned into a joke.

The brass in the U.S. Air Force had consultants come up with a joke of a logo as part of their "branding" efforts, removing the eagle's wings and instead coming up with an image somewhere between the logos of USAA and the University of Phoenix.

[dfwgator]

What I like about Shatner is that he never became a US citizen, unlike so many other Canadians.

[pepsi_junkie]

Actually, the first USS Enterprise in the US Navy was the ship that fired the first shots of war against the Barbary Pirates when Thomas Jefferson dined in the White House.

[Professional]

Bingo...

[dainbramaged]

William Shatner will turn 90 on March 22nd.
