Apparently every species has the same blood, not just the human ones.
Ponda Baba’s blood looked more brown than red to me.
Did all the humans in Star Wars have a common ancestor on a planet or did at least some of them develop independently?
I used to go with the former, but now I prefer the latter. I’d rather the SW Universe operate on fantastical laws than futilely try to shoehorn realistic physics into it.

It’s just so hard to take Star Wars seriously if Rise of Skywalker is actually a thing that happened. Where do you even go after “secret fleet of 10,000 Star Destroyer Death Stars” and “Palpatine magically returns and electrocutes the sky”?? I can’t take it seriously after that because we are now firmly in the Spaceballs Universe and only Mel Brooks should be allowed to direct from now on.
I have a suggestion but I am holding it for ransom from The Walt Disney Company.
The classic “it was all a dream” cold open?
Too stale. Kick up a notch by making it a dream within a dream*.
*Within another dream if you’re feeling especially creative, but proceed with caution.
On an unrelated note, I was recently watching a DS9 episode where they’re in the Mirror Universe aboard Terok Nor, the Cardassian name for DS9. In the Mirror Universe the station is still a Cardassian station, because the Federation doesn’t exist. But there’s this one point where Evil Kira talks to the computer, and the computer voice still sounds like Lwaxana Troi, instead of like, some Cardassian voice. That irritated me so much I actually wrote this post about it.
Well, Majel Barrett did play three live-action roles in the franchise, not mention the various characters she voiced in TAS, so this isn’t the biggest implausibility the Mirror Universe has to offer.

Stop hoping Berman Star Trek comes back 20 years after Star Trek died.
Why would I hope that? There’re reasons why I’ve never bothered with VOY or ENT. If I were to hope for anything, it’d be the return of Meyer/Bennett Trek.
I generally accept DS9 as canon, though not many of the elements I dislike about TNG that carried over, such as the depiction of Klingons. I’m not sure if I accept Jadzia’s death and Ezri Dax’s existence as canon.
The TNG depiction of Klingons is just a slight variation on the depiction of Klingons in The Motion Picture, The Search for Spock, and The Undiscovered Country. (Except they no longer have pink blood in the 24th century I guess, and the honor culture thing gets cranked up to 11.)
I’d say the TNG Klingons are flanderized versions of the TOS film Klingons. Also TUC had the most well-rounded depiction of the Klingons.

Just finished watching The Return and can confirm it does not delve into the supernatural. The Ithacan noblemen are depicted as scheming and taking advantage of the locals in order to somewhat justify the “grand finale” mentioned by @Channel72.
I think they were trying for a more grounded interpretation. The thing that took me out of it was the fight choreography which is like something you would see in a stage play. Not very realistic at all.
Lame.

Lynch is one of my favourite filmmakers. He’s had an undeniable influence on my own art. My own mother suffered and died due to emphysema, so this hits twice as hard. I pray for the day when humanity finally overcomes the scourge of nicotine.
RIP, you magnificent bastard.
And now I’m back to getting fucked over at work. Knew it was too good to last. I’ve tired to find another job so many times over the years, always in vain to be stuck here. Maybe this is just my lot in life, perhaps after all the years making this my only marketable skill, maybe I deserve this.
You don’t. Never believe otherwise.
Then I see whats happening in California, and it reminds me to put things in perspective, and then I feel like an asshole for saying all of this.
This speaks volumes to me. You’re a beautiful human being who loves your fellow Man. I know too many people who fixate on themselves but never consider the plights of others.
