    Oh man imagine the kind of fan drama that localized Chinese Star Trek would cause. Assuming that they'd be using Chinese actors in the same proportion as white actors in the US series, we'd be in for a whole lot of nonsense takes like "NOOOOO VULCANS ARE WHIIIIIITE".

    I back the idea 120%, though I think there's better actors than Jackie Chan for captain. If we're going with well known martial arts actors, I'd say Donnie Yen has much more gravitas than Jackie Chan. Though in either case I would like to see them reporting to Admiral Sammo Hung.

      Jackie Chan would be more like a whacky security officer who gets beat up all of the time but never dies, saying "I don't want to fight you!"
