I haven't seen Abram's Star Trek "reboot" movie, but this would make sense since he claimed from the start to be a Star Wars fan rather than Star Trek fan.
Elsewhere others have added a couple more similarities:Star Trek (2009) is a re-make of Star Wars: Episode IV
This is hilarious. I was so giddy during my two theatrical viewings of the new Star Trek movie that I completely missed the obvious signs that it is really a re-make of Star Wars: Episode IV--A New Hope. It just goes to show you that devotion often blinds the faithful.
For good measure, there's an ice planet that clearly echoes Hoth (even if Star Trek has featured ice planets in the past).
- James Kirk = Luke Skywalker (hick farmboy becomes space flyboy)
- Bones McCoy = C3-PO (talkative worrywart)
- Chekov = R2-D2 (small guy who saves the day)
- Narada = Death Star (space vehicle that destroys planets)
- Spock's little ship = Luke Skywalker's X-wing (small vessel delivers fatal blow to Narada/Death Star)
- Ceremony promoting Kirk = Medal ceremony for Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca

- Old Spock = Yoda
- Pike = Obi-Wan, who talk Luke/Kirk into taking his first steps into the wider world, uh, universe.
