Yeah, but correct me if I"m wrong, but the Naboo ships did go into the atmosphere, so they could easily be considered air intakes, right? On the Enterprise, sure it did go into the atmosphere a couple of times I think, but the nacelles are where the matter and antimatter are combined aren't they? I'm going to have to check on that in the old tech manual, but at the least it's where plasma is driven through the warp coils to cause a warp field. It's almost like putting a toilet in the middle of the bridge. one has nothing to do with the purpose of the other, imo. Or perhaps giving Spock long ear lobes instead of pointed ears. Still deformed ears, but just the other way. Would it be in the spirit of the original Vulcans? Probably not. Plus, in general the look of the other elements are to somewhat modernize, and yet the nacelle appears to be an uber-retro stylized thing. Plus, just because a SW ship looked cool for what it was doesn't mean it works elsewhere. Do we make the saucer a big triangle because the Star Destoryers looked awesome? Maybe we start gluing old model parts on the hull everywhere because that looked cool too, imo. Maybe Spock can start using the force and they'll all pack light sabres instead of phasers (or in addition too). Oh, well. No big deal in the end. It's just a fan thing, and nobody is forced to like it, as it's not canon (and even if it was, nobody would be forced to like it, they'd just be forced to live with it).
