In the commercial, fans see Mark Hamil mention that he is going to be eating a veg cheeseburger with no tomatoes. He is also in his Luke Skywalker character.  He then proceeds to pronounce tomatoes the American way, saying 'Ta-may-toes'. Then fans see Patrick Stewart come into the video in his character as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. He mentions that he'll be eating cheese tortellini with tomatoes as well. But the actor pronounces tomatoes the English way, saying 'Ta-mah-toes'.

Many fans loved the Uber Eats ad, most fans also added their own order in a fun response to the ad on Twitter. One fan mentioned - 'What what, how is this possible? Hamil and Stewart on earth at the same time? Mind is blown!how is this possible? Can you just this myth?' (sic). While another mentioned - 'You and Mark have the funniest commercial out. Love you both my brothers. I laugh every time I see it.' (sic). Take a look: 

Star Trek and Star Wars are American franchises which present alternative storylines. While Star Trek debuted on television, Star Trek debuted on the big screen.  The two separate sagas also have never had a crossover and the actors have also not ever been seen together. Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart coming together was a fun twist for fans.
