Simon Pegg Says Star Wars Fanbase Is Most Toxic, Praises Trekkies
Simon Pegg called the Star Wars fanbase the most «toxic» while praising loyal Star Trek fans. The actor has been a part of both controversial reboots of the two franchises within the past decade. He starred in Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens as the junkyard dealer Unkar Plutt and as Montgomery «Scotty» Scott, the chief engineer aboard the USS Enterprise in Star Trek (2009). Through these experiences, Pegg has witnessed firsthand the level of vitriol a loyal fanbase can inflict on the cast and crew of a franchise.
