j. j. abrams, director and producer of "star trek" (2009) and "star trek into darkness" (2013) and producer of "star trek beyond" (2016), directed and produced "" (2015). "star trek" (2009) and "star wars: the force awakens" (2015) are each the first entries in expected trilogies. these films received favorable critical and commercial response and revived interest for both franchises. in addition to abrams, actors such as simon pegg starred in both series. despite j.j. abrams "trek" and "wars" entries being financial and critical success with critics, the original filmmakers behind both franchises didn't felt the same, and criticized j.j. abrams for doing remakes instead of original plots. "star trek into darkness" ended being considered less original than it's abrams directed predecessor, and more of a loose remake of "star trek ii: wrath of khan". the director of "wrath of khan", nicholas meyer, from which "into darkness" borrowed lines and plot elements, revealed in 2018, to have been disappointed with the film, saying: "in my sort of artistic worldview, if you’re going to do an homage, you have to add something. you have to put another layer on it, and they didn’t. just by putting the same words in different characters’ mouths didn't add up to anything, and if you have someone dying in one scene and sort of being resurrected immediately after there's no real drama going on. it just becomes a gimmick or gimmicky, and that's what i found it to be ultimately." "star wars" creator george lucas shared a similar disappointment towards abrams's "", finding himself agreeing with the critics who found it too derivative of his own original "star wars" trilogy, particularly his original film. during an interview with talk show host and journalist charlie rose that aired on december 24, 2015, lucas likened his decision to sell lucasfilm to disney to a divorce, and outlined the creative differences between him and the producers of "the force awakens". he described the previous six "star wars" films as his "children" and defended his vision for them, while criticizing "the force awakens" for having a "retro feel", saying: "i worked very hard to make them completely different, with different planets, with different spaceships – you know, to make it new." lucas also likened disney to "white slavers", which drew some criticism, he later apologized for. in 2017, lucas described the sequel "the last jedi", as "beautifully made", the comment was interpreted as lucas liking the film more than "the force awakens", even if lucas was never quoted as explicitly saying as much. the previous year, the disney-produced "star wars" anthology film "rogue one" had been released, and it was reported that lucas also liked it more than "the force awakens".
