In reality, the two are friends who have had some fun with each other on social media in the past. Two of the biggest sci-fi icons have finally come face-to-face. Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart met for equal parts intense and silly moments in a new commercial for Uber Eats.
The (socially distanced) spot opens with the Star Wars and Star Trek actors having an intense standoff over the pronunciation of "tomato," which leads Hamill to say, "Stewart, so it's come to this." To which Stewart replies, "Careful Hamill, daddy's not here to save you" (a solid Vader reference).
An angry Hamill responds, "Oh, I am my daddy!" That line sends both men into confusion over its meaning.
In reality, the two are friends who have had some fun with each other on social media in the past. Stewart's fellow Star Trek actor William Shatner and Hamill are also known for giving each other a hard time via social media for the respective franchises.
In related news, The Empire Strikes Back will be rereleased into theaters this week for the film's 4oth anniversary. Tickets are on sale now.
See the Empire announcement and Stewart-Hamill face-off below.
Have your ashes shipped to me. I know a guy with a 4 Pound Whitworth Rifle. He’d be more than happy to send you off in style.
Hell, I’ll light the fuse.
May that day be far off.

Yarp, I have a few things left on my bucket list I want to get to first. But a Whitworth blunderbuss? Hell, I had an ancestor on my mother’s side fight for the Union. I want you to wheel an old field artillery cannon to Devil’s Den and give me a proper launch into Infinity. You know - it’s a matter of family pride here. *BA-ZOOM* LOL
Yes
Hes never let his skin get slack
And hes had a little work done
He never got into heavy drug or alcohol habits
Hes been a consistent worker and has purpose in his life
Hmmm....
Phaser versus lightsabre.
My money’s on the lightsabre.
......There’s no, “Stun,” setting on a lightsabre.
What you did there, I can see it.
The only thing that ages you faster is meth.
Seeing these late 20s and 30s folks looking like 55-65...
Someone once told me, “William Shatner is the best American that Canada’s ever had.”
Yeah. I laughed.
“But a Whitworth blunderbuss?”
Look it up. A FOUR POUND rifle. As in the projectile weighs FOUR POUNDS. The damn thing is the size of a Buick and has a range of 4 miles or so. You don’t honestly think I’d send you off with something shoulder fired, do you?
What the Hell do you take me for? And here I thought we were friends and all...

And you can see that it’s meth related when you notice things like their teeth. It rots them away. Their hygiene is terrible. All they live for is their next fix. And don’t misunderstand me, I’m not going for the easy trailer park zingers here, although that’s where it’s prevalent. A lot of well-to-do’s get hooked on it one way or another and disintegrate in front of your eyes, as well. I’ll let you in on a secret: my sister was having back problems and couldn’t get relief from the doctor, and got hooked on painkillers she was getting from a supplier she started seeing on the side. It cost her her marriage, custody of the kids, a plum job at the university, and she finally had a nervous breakdown that required a lot of therapy. Multiple college degrees, and she ekes out a living now driving a forklift in a warehouse because that’s all she could find at her age. She lied on her resume to get hired for that job, too - nobody with that education would hire her for $12 an hour moving pallets around. F*****g drugs.
LOL Oh, since you put it that way.....be sure there’s a stiff wind aloft and fire vertically. I wanna see what shit I can stir up when my ashes come back down.........
We have a deal.
Best,
