    This is way off topic but I get marvel “what-if” vibes from this video. The narrator even sounds kind of like uatu the watcher. There’s so much potential for this kind of video to be better rather than a marvel formula copy.

    I feel like if anyone should be the narrator for a lore video like this in the Star Trek universe it should be Q. John de Lancie’s voice would be so much better for these types of lore videos. Especially if was in-character as Q, taking them with as little seriousness as Q normally would, and poking fun.

      So could any given episode of “My Little Pony” - in fact, the number of things that could say “Star Wars” on it is literally endless!

          I guess what I should have said is: the art style, the design, everything about this looks like the Disney version of Star Wars. It doesn’t resemble Star Trek in the classical sense.

      To be fair, the mirror universe in general, even in the DS9 era, is kind of Star Wars-y.

      In general, though, it sometimes gets annoying when the franchises swap aesthetics, even back to V when they did bargain bin Mos Eisley (the bar in III was hilariously campy, though). Recently, I watched the first episode of a certain Star Wars series on a friend’s recommendation (I wouldn’t have otherwise), and at one point, I was like, “What the heck! This is supposed to be a rough pirate ship, but there’s so little weathering on the set that this could be a Federation starship!”
