We're not sci-fi purists here. We believe it's possible to be fans of both the Star Trek and Star Wars universes as controversial as that may sound. But today we're unapologetic in our decision to dedicate this gallery to the under-represented Star Trek memes that the internet (especially Tumblr) has to offer. So sit back, enjoy the shitposts, and live long and prosper.

If you're a fan of "nerd-sh*t" like the Marvel cinematic universe, Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings, you'll definitely find some pleasure in these memes. From current events-related jokes (RIP Spider-Man) to all-around relatable humor, these memes have something for everyone. Well, everyone as into these fandoms as we are.
Star Trek is just one of those cult classics that'll forever remain timeless. And while some of us are passive fans who simply grew up watching the show, others are die-hard fanatics who travel to conventions around the country. We hope that no matter which type of fan you are, that you can appreciate these memes!
Hey nerds! Have you been sleeping on the incredible Twitter account @AwfulFantasy? It's as if The Onion started writing 280 character articles about science fiction and fantasy. As one can imagine, the passages range from devilishly clever to laugh-out-loud hilarious. We've put some of our favorites together here, but for more of their five years of content, go ahead and peruse their Twitter.
Yeah, yeah. We realize that Ewoks and Jawas are reasonably cute, but there's something about Star Wars in playful comic for that takes things to the next level. This is the wholesome sci-fi comic we've been on the hunt for. The artist behind these whimsical drawings doesn't limit himself to Star Wars material, so if you like what you see take a look at the rest of his work here.
Lord of the Rings memes have been killing it since day 1, but we're SO glad that fans continue to make memes that reflect the current climate of humor. This is a nice mix of classic and freshly harvested LOTR memes that are sure to elicit a chuckle from any fan.
The multi-talented Donald Glover hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and Star Wars fans will be happy to know that his Lando made an appearance as well. In the skit, the smooth-talking leader of Cloud City is holding a summit to honor all of the black humans in space. There's just one problem: he is one of just four. Glover's portrayal of the former smuggler is absolute perfection, leaving us even more stoked for Solo's late May release.
Star Wars fans were overjoyed last night after being treated to the first Solo trailer during the Super Bowl - and today we've got a trailer. The clip features some familiar faces: Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson as ringleader Beckett, and Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra, another part of their eventual crew. Alden Ehrenreich plays the title role of our favorite "Nerf herder," and in the Super Bowl spot you can almost picture his voice leaving Harrison Ford's mouth. Honestly, that's where the resemblance stops.
Fans seem a bit more excited about Glover's Lando - the trailer features him oozing Lando goodness, dressed in rich furs and cracking smug smiles. On this end, we're stoked to finally see a Han/Chewie meet-cute and exactly how Han became the most prolific smuggler in the galaxy. Just have to wait until Labor Day.
