Vice President Mike Pence announced on December 19 that personnel in the Space Force branch of the U.S. Armed Forces will be officially called Guardians, which prompted some wisecracking from writer-director James Gunn. Since Space Force’s new “Guardians” title overlaps with Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, the filmmaker shot back at the vice president on social media, writing: “Can we sue this dork?”
Flash forward to this week and “Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill got in on the Space Force skewering. Responding to Gunn, Hamill quipped, “So they grab the ‘Guardians’ from your movies, they use the ‘Force’ from our movies…then they have the gall to just steal their logo from ‘Star Trek’? Let’s file a three-way joint lawsuit and really nail these larcenous bastards!”
“Star Trek” icon William Shatner took notice of Hamill’s comment, but he wasn’t about to let “Star Trek” get grouped into Space Force. “Sorry [Mark Hamill] and [James Gunn] but Starfleet has to sit this one out because the symbol is actually an upside down Pontiac car logo. Maybe General Motors is building their fleet?”

And if a Democrat Administration had done Space Force, they’d be tripping over themselves to enthuse about it.
Shatner...gets better all the time.
But Shatner did commercials for Oldsmobile and Plymouth, not Pontiac!

“Thank God for guns huh Johnny?!”
Shatner basically told Hamill and Gunn to “Get a Life!”
Hamill is a stopped clock, but he's right about this.
The Space Force is being turned into a joke.
Sorry, but the US Air FORCE was around longer than these numbnuts. Maybe the USAF should sue them.
they would be commenting saying “We deem it a privilege that they thought of us, and included some similar but different logos when they came up with their new innovative idea for the program- We feel honoured”
like someone said earlier today, ‘inside every liberal is a screaming lunatic dictator just itching to get out’ or something like that
Hollywood
“We make up shit and pretend to be other people. You know, like the insane do.”
Stupid fools should be tickled about this.
F*** Hammil.
Just put my Space Force Logo on my side car window. Very proud.
“PONTIAC EXCITEMENT!”
Would like to have seen a show with Shatner and Red Foxx...
Don’t be an idiot.
Not true. Shatter went to high school with Orville and Wilbur. 😈🇨🇦🇺🇸
Thank you. “Force” in this context has been used since a time well before Star Wars was even a concept. And the idiots saying the logo is just Star Trek obviously never saw that of the old Air Force Space Command.
Guardian? Sounds like a baby sitter. Call them soldiers, or maybe sailors, since “astronaut” means “star sailor.”
“Maybe the USAF should sue them.”
No, the navy. The first USS Enterprise ship was launched 6 years before Pike, Kirk, and the space ship flew on TV.
