After all, one of Star Trek&#8217;s guiding principles is IDIC &#8211; Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, when I was little my dad &amp; I watched Star Trek (TOS) reruns every week when they came on TV. It was something we enjoyed together, and one of the best memories I have of him. Then, when I was in grade school this strange space movie came out in movie theaters. I don&#8217;t remember a whole lot from the first time I saw that movie, but I just HAD to be Princess Leia for Halloween. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, several years later, I enjoy both franchises and many others: Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica (both versions), Harry Potter, the DC television series (Arrow, Supergirl, etc.), the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Iron Man, Avengers, Doctor Strange, etc.). And I&#8217;m not the only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What other shows\/movies do you enjoy apart from Star Trek? Somewhere among our crew you can find those who enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, anime, mystery, and many other genres. In fact, a few months ago we held an activity where we shared some other, non-Star Trek series that we enjoy. Together we enjoyed episodes of: Stargate, The IT Crowd, The Dragon Prince, Robocop (series), Babylon 5, and The Devil is a Part-Timer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So with that in mind, we&#8217;d like to share a link with you. This is something our own Admiral Hollinger found on You Tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember in the original Star Wars movie where Darth Vader faces off against Obi-Wan Kenobi? It&#8217;s sort of just&#8230; there. Well, a group called FXitinPost redid it with current visual effects technology and a couple of actors filling in the more&#8230; energetic scenes. Check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Star Wars SC 38 Reimagined\" width=\"627\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/to2SMng4u1k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have never understood the thought that if you like Star Trek you can&#8217;t like Star Wars (and vice versa).
