The feud between fans of "Star Wars" and fans of "Star Trek" has been mostly good-natured over the years.

But Yahoo Movies reports that actor John Boyega, one of the new stars of the highly-anticipated reboot "The Force Awakens," apparently didn't like some of the digs that legendary "Star Trek" actor William Shatner has made recently about "Star Wars."

In a tweet, Boyega said “Here’s what you need to do,”  addressing the man who played Captain Kirk. “Take a seat. Have a nice tea. And keep your mouth closed.”

Shatner had recently tweeted, "Those that can; do Star Trek. Those that can't; do SWs." Shatner then admits to being a troll.

"The Force Awakens" opens in just over a week from today.
