Internet Fanedit Database

The Internet Fanedit Database (IFDB) is a database of fanedits vetted by the Fanedit.org Academy. IFDB is intended to provide information about what edits have been made, and allow fans of fanediting a means to review edits that they have seen. Neither IFDB nor its parent site, Fanedit.org, host links or files for fanedits .

Older edits which pre-date Academy approval may not meet the same quality expectations as newer fanedits, but have been included as they are part of the fanediting history, and in addition to their own entertainment value, help provide context for the evolution of fanediting as an art and educational exercise.

LATEST FANEDITS

Below are the types of fanedits we index on IFDb. Click on a category for a description of the edit type:

With a FanFix, the editor is typically attempting clean-up or otherwise modify the original so as to make it a more enjoyable viewing experience. Quite often this entails adding and/or removing portions of the movie, reordering scenes and in general, addressing aspects of story and/or character that detract from the movie. In general terms, a FanFix tends to be an effort to polish the movie, often removing contrivances added by studios or filmmakers which interfere with the story. The goal here is not to invent a new movie or narrative, but to clean-up the existing one and hopefully make the movie more enjoyable. Examples of FanFixes are havok1977’s Codename: Wolverine, gekko’s Mission Impossible 2: Disavowed and The Phantom Editor’s Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Edit.

Where a FanFix attempts to clean-up a story, a FanMix fanedit instead modifies the story so drastically as to make it a new and unique movie experience. In these “new takes” entire sub-plots and characters can be removed, character motivations changed and new endings created. Famous instances of such new takes include Remixed by Jorge’s The Dark Knight, Jack Marshall’s Star Trek Phase II, and CBB’s Titanic – The Jack Edit.

Extended Editions (EE) attempt to create the fullest version of a movie as possible using deleted scenes from commercial DVD’s. Similar to the concept of a Director’s cut, EEs look to present all possible material available as an integrated movie-going experience. If a studio releases an official version that incorporates the same material in similar fashion, it is our site policy to remove the fanedit from the site as it can be legally purchased from a retailer. Extended Editions can be include deleted scenes only available in TV versions, such is the case with EEs like Ridgeshark’s Army of Darkness: Primitive Screwhead Edition or Tranzor’s The Warriors: TV Composite.

This particular form of fanedit creates a movie that does exactly as the name implies, documents a particular topic (quite typically a movie) or provides a review of a movie. Both incorporate movie footage and voice-over work that speaks to the events happening on-screen. The intent of these particular edits is not to create a fictional story, but rather inform, illuminate, or otherwise make comment on or about a particular movie, or set of movies.

This category takes a movie (or TV show) and turns it into a significantly shorter piece of work, either as a stand-alone short movie, or broken/restructured into a series of edits in either the fashion of episodic television, or old-fashioned movie serials. These edits may modify visual style, or restructure the flow of events, but it is a broad category which allows for a wide-range of freedom and reinterpretation.

Some fan-based projects do not seek to create new, untold or heavily modified versions of a film or show. Special Projects are fanedits in which faneditors infuse personal creative choices to modify the viewing experience, yet are not significantly different from the original. The main purpose of a Special Project, with few exceptions, is to make minor changes to a movie that don’t affect the story or plot too much but change the atmosphere of the movie or create a unique viewing experience. With rare exception, Special Projects are not eligible to be voted on.

These aren’t fanedits per se, but a collection of works not available commercially. These may include behind-the-scenes specials, interviews, outtakes, music videos, guest spots, and more for a particular film. Preservation projects are a means of collecting and preserving as much promotional material as possible for a film that may otherwise be lost. Preservation projects are not eligible to be reviewed or voted on.

Screen Rant

How star trek "intakes" edits humanize fan-favorite characters.

Star Trek INtakes incorporate bloopers to add humor and humanity to existing scenes from Star Trek: The Next Generation and other series.

Star Trek: The Next Generation   is getting new life through  Star Trek INtakes , a Youtube series that humanizes fan-favorite characters.  TNG   remains a beloved incarnation of Star Trek despite launching over thirty years ago, and recently its characters have been brought back into the spotlight via the new series  Star Trek: Picard   and  Star Trek: Lower Decks . Complementing this,  Star Trek INtakes  is celebrating these same characters — as well as a few others — by combining originals scenes from Star Trek  shows with outtakes.

Star Trek INtakes launched on Ryan's Edits' YouTube channel in March 2020 and includes 44 videos as of January 1, 2021. The term "INtakes" is short for "integrated outtakes," and each video is a clip from a Star Trek episode with a relevant outtake or blooper edited back in. While the vast majority of the videos are from Star Trek: The Next Generation , there are a few from Star Trek: Enterprise , as well, and at least one episode uses a clip from Star Trek: Voyager .

Related: Star Trek Theory: Worf Replaces Data In Picard Season 2's Story

An example of this is Star Trek INtakes #33, "Data Executes His Smalltalk Protocol," which is essentially an extended scene from the Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6 episode "Starship Mine," with Brent Spiner's (Data) outtakes blended back in, incorporating a reference to measuring Sheliak body temperature. While Data's scenes in much of that  TNG episode were meant to be comical , the edited clip heightens the humor and implies a risqué cap to the conversation (though it is only implied) — which causes a genuine reaction from Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher) and Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker). It strips away the formality typical of the show, allowing for a moment of not just levity, but also a break in convention. As a result, the moment feels very human.

As Ryan's Edits (they prefer to be known by their channel name) explains on their page, "Sometimes bloopers, when edited back into the finished episodes, can add a bit of humanity to characters. Sometimes they just add a bit of absurdity. Both are good."  The videos are short, designed for quick entertainment. The longest has a runtime of 1:39, but at least half clock in under a minute. Star Trek: The Next Generation  episodes are used for the majority of the "INtakes," likely because  TNG blooper reels are easily accessible on the internet; however, there are also episodes featuring Star Trek: Enterprise  actors like Jeffrey Combs, who played  Thy'lek Shran.

When asked about the inspiration for this series of videos, Ryan's Edits explained via email that they'd seen a Star Trek: The Next Generation blooper on Reddit and were inspired to post their first INtake, which was meant to be a one-off for fans. When the response to that video was favorable and people began reposting the videos, they chose to continue the series. What began as a lark in March 2020 has since grown into a continuing series of Star Trek fan offerings designed to amuse and entertain. Ryan's Edits plans to keep going as long as they have the time, and fans remain interested.

TM2YC said: - Fix Uhura's character. She is really badly served in STID. She is unable to control her emotions in many scenes and shots, as if she wasn't a Starfleet professional (Including on dangerous away missions). If possible, I may go so far as have her not fall out with Spock at all. That would save a lot of moaning at Spock and saying things like "You didn't feel anything" as if she's never noticed he was a Vulcan. - Have Kirk be dead at the end because his death is rather pointless otherwise. To satisfy canon I may have a post credits scene hinting as his revival. - Cut Dr Marcus down to a minimum and improve her character. I can't do much to fix Alice Eve's absolutely appalling acting though. - Regrade the film to be closer to ST09 (Less blue tint) - Remove old Spock. Sorry folks and sorry Nimoy but your cameo was not needed here. - Kirk will not be demoted. Like with his death, it's meaningless when the movie reverses it 5 minutes later. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off with a few scenes rearranged. - Fix up Kirk and Spock's relationship. It shouldn't be so strained and negative. Click to expand...

Yes, please. I like the idea of keeping continuity so I hope you keep something to imply the Kirk revival. The less Dr. Marcus the better, which helps continuity anyway. Hopefully you can make it feel a bit more optimistic somehow, I like a lot about it as is, though.  

Cool! I had ripped my own bluray of this to edit in the future but then ironman23 started executing my ideas and you put together a nice cutlist and a cool title. Looking forward to both!

Very much looking forward to seeing what you do with this.  

In solving the issues about Kirk dying and continuity with the new film, could you just not have Kirk die? Just have him suffer from massive radiation poisoning, cut some lines by Scotty, and just have him pass out? Sure it wouldn't mirror the original ST II, but this series is about adding a twist to familiar themes and events. I liked this film, but his death and resurrection in under 10 minutes or so was very forced and contrived.

I was editing the first scene aboard the Enterprise today and I spotted this... Alice Eve can't even act like a top Starfleet scientist when she's standing around in the back of shot. I've probably ruined this scene for myself now . Click to expand...

TM2YC said: I need to change "Commander" to "Captain" in this scene. Here is a short clip to illustrate (Original first and then my rough placement)... I've downloaded Audacity and tried some settings but can't seem to hit on the exact right ones to make the "Captain" dialogue sound like the rest of Spock's communicator chatter. I guess it wants to sound like it was an old-fashioned telephone call? Any advice on this would be great. By the way... in the scene right after this I just noticed that Scotty still calls Kirk "Captain". They must have forgotten to redub Pegg's line . Click to expand...

DigModiFicaTion said: I can work on it for you. I had to do some extensive edits to make Kylo Ren's voice for my SW edit. Part of the process involved making the voice sound like a speaker. I'll send you or post a version after messing with it. D you know the timestamp of Spock's captain linr you use? Click to expand...

Fans unite to save ‘so help me todd’.

Star Trek , Cagney & Lacey , Roswell , Family Guy, Futurama, Firefly , Jericho , Designing Women, Friday Night Lights and Quantum Leap . If you are wondering what these 1o primetime TV series have in common, think the fans. All were premaurely canceled, and each series found a new lease on life (in an era where there was no social media) thanks to the passionate viewers who care about their favorite TV series.

Star Trek , of course, is the proverbial poster child for why the fans matter. After three seasons of the original run on NBC in the 1960s and the countless TV and movie spinoffs ever since, the Star Trek universe continues to surge. Others, like Cagney & Lacey , Designing Women and the animated comedies, were extended for years thanks to the fans. Some were only briefly. And, if these fans have their say this time (which, in this era of social media, gives everyone a voice), legal dramedy So Help Me Todd, starring Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin , could be the next canceled TV series to return.

Following CBS opting against a third season, a petition on the change.org website, titled “ Save So Help Me Todd on CBS,” requests that CBS “reconsider canceling So Help Me Todd . “The show is so entertaining and it is family oriented . It can be enjoyed by all ages,” it reads.

Fans of So Help Me Todd , meanwhile, are using social media to lobby for a reprieve.

A Surprise Cancellation

Unlike most axed series, viewers were caught off guard by the unexpected sophomore cancellation o f So Help Me Todd . By the numbers (according to Nielsen), So Help Me Todd i s averaging a respectable 6.2 million total viewers per week, which is consistent with its first season. For any broadcast other than CBS, this Top 25 occupant would have certainly been renewable. But CBS, at present, is home to 14 of the Top 20 most-watched TV series. Recent (and renewed) dramas Tracker and Elsbeth further limit the shelf space on the Eye network. And, like any legal-themed hour, the audience skew for So Help Me Todd tends to be older (over age 50). Translation: the younger demo categories remain more alluring to the broadcasters and advertisers.

The juan soto trade has helped both the yankees and the san diego padres, four reportedly hurt after army horses run loose through central london.

Even so, ABC and Fox are hungry for scripted hits. The endless streaming service offer an option. Remember when Netflix picked up sci-fi drama Manifest for a fourth season after being canceled by NBC? And for a platform like Paramount+, original episodes of So Help Me Todd could give CBS’ lackluster streaming partner a shot of much-needed adrenaline.

As the broadcasters prepare the blueprints for their strike-free primetime lineups for next season (the official announcements will be the week of May 13), the fans are the voices that matter. And the more attention these viewers give to So Help Me Todd , the better the chance of it continuing.

10 Background Characters Star Trek Fans Love

• Background characters in Star Trek add depth to the universe, making it feel lived-in and real.
• Beloved regular faces like Lt. M'Ress, Nurse Ogawa, and Mr. Mot enhance Star Trek shows.
• From Lt. Linus to Dr. Migleemo, each background character brings their own unique charm to the series.

There's something about beloved Star Trek background characters that really helps its universe feel lived-in and real. While the primary action is taking place, it's up to the background actors to make the sets look like genuine places where people are going about their business. These are the folks at the bridge stations who aren't in the opening credits. They're the assistants to the main characters. They're the beloved regular faces spotted among the crowds in establishing shots, and the names floating around duty rosters and civilian gossip that remind viewers that there's more to Star Trek than the captains and chief engineers.

There are so many background characters from all of the Star Trek shows who are beloved by fans, of course. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Promenade is full of colorful background characters without names or personal histories, like the singing Klingon chef (Ron Taylor). Star Trek: Voyager features recurring background characters, since being stuck in the Delta Quadrant means no new Starfleet officers can join the crew. Star Trek: The Next Generation features background characters who sometimes level up to become proper guest stars , and in one famous case, a series regular: the "most important person in Starfleet" and original lower-decker, Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney). Here are 10 background characters Star Trek fans love.

20 Best New Star Trek Characters Of The Last 20 Years

Lt. m'ress (majel barrett), star trek: the animated series.

Lt. M'Ress is a Caitian officer with a seat on the USS Enterprise bridge, created for Star Trek: The Animated Series when Star Trek 's jump to animation meant that the aliens in Star Trek were no longer restrained by what the makeup department could physically create. As the first Caitian in Star Trek , M'Ress sets the standard for the feline alien species , later echoed by Star Trek 's other animated Caitian, Dr. T'Ana (Gillian Vigman) in Star Trek: Lower Decks .

Like many background characters, M'Ress' cool character design is a top reason for her appeal, but M'Ress earns her spot on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise by being a capable officer. M'Ress' duties as relief communications officer include communication within the Enterprise as well as to outside vehicles, along with scientific duties as situations arise, similar to the duties of primary communications officer Lt. Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols).

Lt. M'Ress appeared in 2 episodes of the "anything but canon" animated web series Star Trek: very Short Treks, voiced by Cristina Milizia.

Lt. T'Veen (Stephanie Czajkowski)

Star trek: picard.

The starship action of Star Trek: Picard season 3 takes place primarily aboard the USS Titan-A, and as such, introduces a brand-new bridge crew of younger Starfleet officers, one of which is the Vulcan Lt. T'Veen. T'Veen stands out as both a woman and a Vulcan for her striking bald appearance , marking her look as both novel and unique. Actor Stephanie Czajkowski suggests that T'Veen may have some Deltan ancestry, but in reality, T'Veen's lack of locks comes from Czajkowski's own battles with cancer.

When Vadic (Amanda Plummer) commandeers the Titan in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 8, "Surrender" , T'Veen is one of the Titan bridge officers used as leverage against Vadic's request for Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers). At this point in Picard , the Titan's crew are painted as candidates for a potential spinoff show, but Lt. T'Veen's shocking death at Vadic's hand sends the message that no one is safe.

Sonya Gomez (Lycia Naff)

Star trek: the next generation, star trek: lower decks.

The original claim to fame for Ensign Sonya Gomez (Lycia Naff) is being the eager young engineer who unfortunately spills hot chocolate on Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in Star Trek: The Next Generation , season 2, episode 16, "Q Who". Serving on the USS Enterprise-D with Lt. Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) is Gomez's dream job, and the chocolate-covered Captain isn't going to earn her any high marks. La Forge recognizes Gomez's talent as an antimatter specialist, and helps Sonya focus, despite the gaffe.

Lycia Naff makes a triumphant return to Star Trek as Captain Sonya Gomez in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2, episode 10, "First First Contact", commanding the USS Archimedes with the same compassionate focus on problem-solving that La Forge had as Gomez's mentor. Captain Gomez's story is proof that Star Trek characters do learn from their earliest mistakes , and can come out on top in the end.

Mr. Mot (Ken Thorley)

Star trek: the next generation.

In an interesting twist, Mr. Mot is a barber working on the USS Enterprise-D, and happens to be a Bolian, a species that has no hair of their own. Nonetheless, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) says that the civilian Mot is the best barber in Starfleet . There's more to being a barber than just cutting hair, after all, and Mot's listening ears are available to anyone who comes to sit in his barbershop chair, as long as they don't mind receiving a little free advice on the side.

The Bolian barber became an entrepreneur.

After providing excellent service to the crew on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Mot grew even more successful. The Bolian barber became an entrepreneur, which is evident by the presence of Mr. Mot's Hair Emporium as one of the many businesses in Stardust City, on the planet Freecloud, as seen in Star Trek: Picard season 1, episode 5, "Stardust City Rag".

Bolians are named for Star Trek director Cliff Bole, who directed a total of 42 episodes between his work on Star Trek: The Next Generation , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek: Voyager .

10 Star Trek Characters Fans See Themselves In

Groundskeeper boothby (ray walston), star trek: the next generation, star trek: voyager.

Mr. Boothby is a positive influence on generations of Starfleet officers at Starfleet Academy, but one would be wrong to assume that Boothby is an accomplished instructor working to shape young minds, because Boothby works at Starfleet Academy as the head groundskeeper. Groundskeeper Boothby's no-nonsense approach to the natural development of the Academy's flora also applies to how Boothby interacts with Starfleet cadets .

Boothby's influence on the USS Voyager crew was evident in Star Trek: Voyager season 5, episode 4, "In the Flesh", when a Species 8472 leader took on the guise of Boothby in a Starfleet Academy simulation, instead of a high-ranking Admiral.

Sometimes, Boothby's advice is harsh, as was the case with Jean-Luc Picard as a Starfleet Academy cadet. But in the end, Boothby always has an uncanny sensibility for knowing exactly how to cultivate the best forms of both botanical specimens and future Starfleet officers.

Lt. Kayshon (Carl Tart)

Star trek: lower decks.

Lt. Kayshon has the honor of being the first Tamarian in Starfleet , debuting in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2, episode 2, "Kayshon, His Eyes Open", as the USS Cerritos' new security officer. The Tamarians, first seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 5, episode 2, "Darmok", have a puzzling metaphorical language reliant on background knowledge of Tamarian culture. The Tamarian phrases from "Darmok" have been adopted by Star Trek fans as a fun way to signal our fandom to each other, so it makes sense that a Tamarian officer should show up on Star Trek: Lower Decks , itself a celebration of Star Trek 's own weird and wonderful moments.

Kayshon spends more time in the background after his first episode, still part of the USS Cerritos' security team. The years between "Picard and Dathon at El-Adred" and Kayshon's assignment to the USS Cerritos in Star Trek: Lower Decks mean the communication gap between Kayshon and the rest of the USS Cerritos' crew is much smaller than it might have been in the past. Kayshon communicates in Federation Standard, but still slips into Tamarian metaphor from time to time, which just adds new phrases to the Tamarian lexicon.

Dr. Migleemo (Paul F. Tompkins)

In Dr. Migleemo, Star Trek: Lower Decks continues the tradition that was established with Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) on Star Trek: The Next Generation by having a counselor aboard the USS Cerritos . Strictly speaking, Migleemo is not the galaxy's best counselor , with a whole plateful of food metaphors that don't always land butter-side-up, but Migleemo's heart is always in the right place.

As a bird-like alien of an unspecified species, Dr. Migleemo's character design pays homage to Star Trek: The Animated Series , since a bird man in a tweed suit may not translate that well to live action, but works perfectly for animation.

Even though Migleemo is bad at his job, it's in a way that's not actively harmful, but makes you want to root for him, just like any other lower decker on the Cerritos. Sometimes Migleemo gets it right , after all, like counseling Ensign D'Vana Tendi (Noël Wells) in the senior science officer training program in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3, episode 3, "Mining the Mind's Mines".

Nurse Alyssa Ogawa (Patti Yasutake)

Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) usually has assistants in the background of the USS Enterprise-D's sick bay, and one of these, Nurse Alyssa Ogawa, is a regular background character starting in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 4. Ogawa grows as a character over the course of TNG 's final four seasons , receiving a full name as of Star Trek: The Next Generation season 5, episode 18, "Cause and Effect", and developing as a character through Ogawa's casual conversations with Dr. Crusher about Alyssa's dating history.

Nurse Ogawa gets more to do when Ogawa is one of the four USS Enterprise-D junior officers at the heart of Star Trek: The Next Generation season 7, episode 15, "Lower Decks" , focusing on the friendship between often-overlooked characters. Ogawa's story focuses on Alyssa's relationship with Lieutenant Andrew Powell, and culminates in their off-screen engagement.

Nurse Alyssa Ogawa also appears in two Star Trek movies: Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact .

Lt. Linus (David Benjamin Tomlinson)

Star trek: discovery.

With Lt. Linus, Star Trek: Discovery shows in a casual, but meaningful way what it looks like to actively include someone with unique needs . Arriving in Star Trek: Discovery season 2, Lt. Linus is a Saurian science officer who never fails to provide a little levity just by being himself. By all accounts, Linus is well-liked among the USS Discovery's crew , with plenty of crew members referring to Linus and Saurian customs relatively favorably.

Lt. Linus is accepted as someone whose needs are a little different to most human officers'.

Starfleet easily makes accommodations available for Linus' differences in biology , granting personal time set aside for annual shedding, and providing heat lamps in Linus' quarters as needed. After Star Trek: Discovery 's time jump , Linus takes a little more time to understand the new 32nd-century technology, but he's never admonished for catching up to the learning curve. Instead, Lt. Linus is accepted as someone whose needs are a little different to most human officers'.

Every DS9 Alien In Star Trek: Discovery

Morn (mark allen shepherd), star trek: deep space nine.

Morn is a fixture in Quark's Bar from the start of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , the perennial barfly occupying the same seat at the end of the table. According to the other patrons at Quark's, Morn rarely shuts up, but the joke is, of course, that Morn is always cut off before delivering any speaking lines. Instead, the picture of who Morn really is slowly comes together through other people's comments and conversation about Morn, with the speculation about Morn's true identity finally coming to a head in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 6, episode 12, "Who Mourns for Morn". Morn's apparent death is a blow to the community and all who knew him, but also reveals surprising facts about DS9 's Morn , like Morn's secret riches and tactical mind, confirming that there was more to the enigmatic Lurian than Morn's signature bar stool.

True to form, Morn is seated at Quark's Bar when the USS Cerritos visits Deep Space Nine in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3, episode 6, "Hear All, Trust Nothing".

Sometimes the Star Trek characters who aren't major players become some of the most beloved characters. When background characters on Star Trek attract the eyes of viewers with interesting character designs or memorable moments, they may wind up in expanded roles as their Star Trek shows go on. These featured background characters will get lines and names, and might even have a major part in an episode or two, but most live out their lives off-screen. From the bridge crew to the lower decks, from Starfleet officers to civilians, it's the unsung heroes in the background who keep Star Trek moving while the main action is taking place.

Star Trek: The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Lower Decks are all streaming on Paramount+.

Original USS Enterprise model from ‘Star Trek’ returned to creator’s son

The first model of the USS Enterprise, the starship that appeared in the opening credits of the original “Star Trek” television series, has been returned to Eugene Roddenberry Jr., the son of the creator of the series, decades after it went missing.

“After a long journey, she’s home,” Roddenberry wrote on social media Thursday.

For die-hard Trekkies, the model’s disappearance had become the subject of folklore, so an eBay listing last fall, with a starting bid of $1,000, didn’t go unnoticed.

“Red alert,” someone in an online costume and prop-making forum wrote, linking to the listing.

Roddenberry’s father, Gene Roddenberry, created the television series, which first aired in 1966 and ran for three seasons. It spawned numerous spinoffs, several films and a franchise that has included conventions and legions of devoted fans with an avid interest in memorabilia.

The seller of the model was bombarded with inquiries and quickly took the listing down.

The seller contacted Heritage Auctions to authenticate it, the auction house’s executive vice president, Joe Maddalena, said Saturday. As soon as the seller, who said he had found it in a storage unit, brought it to the auction house’s office in Beverly Hills, California, Maddalena said he knew it was real.

“That’s when I reached out to Rod to say, ‘We’ve got this. This is it,’ ” he said, adding that the model was being transferred to Roddenberry.

Roddenberry, who is known as Rod, said Saturday that he would restore the model and seek to have it displayed in a museum or other institution.

He said reclaiming the item had only piqued his interest in the circumstances about its disappearance.

“Whoever borrowed it or misplaced it or lost it, something happened somewhere,” he said. “Where’s it been?”

It was unclear how the model ended up in the storage unit and who had it before its discovery.

The original USS Enterprise, a 33-inch model, was mostly made of solid wood by Richard Datin, a model maker for the Howard Anderson Co., a special-effects company that created the opening credits for some of the 20th century’s biggest TV shows.

An enlarged 11-foot model was used in subsequent “Star Trek” television episodes, and is part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where it was donated by Paramount Studios in 1974.

Roddenberry, who said he gave the seller a “reward” for its recovery but did not disclose the terms, assembled a group of “Star Trek” production veterans, model makers and restoration specialists in Beverly Hills to authenticate the find.

The group included a “Star Trek” art supervisor, Michael Okuda, and his wife, Denise, an artist on “Star Trek” television series and films, and Gary Kerr, a “Trek x-pert” who served as technical consultant for the Smithsonian during a 2016 restoration of the 11-foot model.

“We spent at least an hour photographing it, inspecting the paint, inspecting the dirt, looking under the base, the patina on the stem, the grain in the wood,” Roddenberry said.

“It was a unanimous ‘This is 100% the one,’ ” he said.

Gene Roddenberry, who died in 1991, kept the original model, which appeared in the show’s opening credits and pilot episode, on his desk.

Kerr compared the model to 1960s photos he had of the model on Roddenberry’s desk.

“The wood grain matched exactly, so that was it,” he said Saturday.

The model went missing after Roddenberry lent it to the makers of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” which was released in 1979, Maddalena said.

“This is a major discovery,” he said, likening the model to the ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz,” a prop stolen in 2005 and recovered by the FBI in 2018, and that Heritage Auctions is selling.

While the slippers represent hope, he said, the starship Enterprise model “represents dreams.”

“It’s a portal to what could be,” he said.
