Have I really read what I think I have in this newsgroup - a number of people want the next Star Trek movie to be about a Federation-Klingon war, with lots of space battles? As another person asked "What has become of Star Trek fandom?" indeed. The main important factor in Star Trek that has made it different from, and better than, the other tv sf like Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers and what distinguishes it from Star Wars, has been not relying on space battles for every story and violence for every solution. Of course you may be right that Paramount will see "copying Star Wars" as the most profitable way to go, but that is not Star Trek's style and I will be very disappointed if they do it.
