It seems that the Carrie Fisher/William Shatner beef that played out on YouTube last fall might be reignited at Comic-Con.
In an interview last September, Shatner dismissed “Star Wars” as derivative of “Star Trek.” Fisher fired back with her own video claiming that Shatner had borrowed her metal bikini from “Return of the Jedi.”
William shatner is about to start an intergalactic nerd war.

Shatner was first to refer to the feud, responding to a fan’s tweeted photo of a convention-goer dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi being led away from the convention by police.
“@ChaseMasterson: Breaking: Obi-Wan arrested at #SDCC. pic.twitter.com/6z3v1iBd” Proof that Star Trek has better (and more law abiding) fans!

Fisher tweeted she was horrified to learn that Shatner was in attendance.
I'm horrified to hear that intergalactic fraud Bill Shatner will also be at Comic Con. If you see us near each… http://t.co/17sQnuHO

Of course, this is Comic-Con, so it didn’t take long for things to get geeky.
@CarrieFFisher Just remind him that the Death Star could take out the Enterprise with one shot. @5_25_77_Movie @DorkHeart

@CarrieFFisher Stay away from the hairpiece – actually made from dead Tribbles.

@CarrieFFisher You could trade hair with him– you with his tribble on your head, and him with your Cinnabons on his. @WilliamShatner

We admit that, like the fans, we’re just not sure how genuine this beef really is — and so far, neither party is saying. Why ruin the fun?
Getting the feeling that neither @CarrieFFisher nor @WilliamShatner is 100% certain if their Trek/Wars Twitter feud is in jest or not

Why is that I go into outer space; she goes into outer space, I on tour; she goes on tour, I write a book; she writes a book…

Update: It’s Saturday afternoon and Shatner’s not done teasing just yet.
Ms. Fisher caught trying to jump the lines for my #SDCC session today. Could we beef up security, please? pic.twitter.com/nBh1bGIG

So, exactly how many men have arrived at Comic-Con dressed as Princess Leia? Wait, don’t answer that.
