Here’s a story that, if it weren’t true, you’d never believe. We remember well the long-standing rivalry between the galaxies of Star Trek and Star Wars and the constant banter between William Shatner and Carrie Fisher, but if this incident had a slightly different ending then there would definitely be another addition to that roster of rivalry. Here, Star Trek Voyager actor Garrett Wang, best known for playing the eternal Ensign Harry Kim talks about how he almost ran over fellow star spanner Harrison Ford back in 1994.

“I’m actually speeding around the parking lot and I come around this one bend and this guy in a suit walks between two cars right in front of my car so I slam on my breaks.

“You know when you almost have an accident your heart is beating a thousands miles a minute?

“I lock eyes with this dude in the suit and it’s Harrison Ford! I look at him and I go ‘Oh my god! I almost killed Han Solo!’ I would have been hated by nerds everywhere!”
