Now I’m admittedly a fan of Star Wars. There’s no point in denying it - Star Wars is fun. But as Mr. Sulu (John Cho) has put it, there’s no comparison between the two. “I kind of became a Star Trek fan because it was on late and I would catch it on re-runs. It is something I appreciated more every year because it is a very mature show. It is a very thoughtful and meditative show. Whereas when I was a kid it was much easier to love something like [Star Wars] right off the bat, with the lightsabers and stuff. Star Trek is much more mature than that.”
In that interview with Access Hollywood Cho went on to address JJ Abram’s apparent obsession with secrecy around Star Trek. He said Abrams “has a vision which is that, I think he just really, it's not any kind of malice, he just wants people to go into the theater and be surprised, which I think is fair. He wants people to come into the theater and enjoy everything for the first time instead of knowing A, B, and C as they walk in.”
