Repost from Risa@startrek

As a millennial, the Trek VS Wars debates always confused me. Star Trek is philosophy and political science class in a scifi, flavor of the week format. And Star Wars is fantasy in a science fiction setting. Why can’t we all just love them for what they are?

Here we see Deeana Troi poking fun at how quickly a couple retcons about family and the force sort of ruin the first half of a New Hope. If Luke could call out to Leia at the end of ESB then how did Vader not know here?

    Guinan lived through the entirety of the development of psychology on earth and probably hung out with many of psychology’s prolific figures. I could totally see her hanging out with Frued and Jung at a bar in Vienna.

    Meanwhile Troi probably got credit in the academy for being a empath. She probably wrote off a ton of courses that others probably had to go through to get her position. She has really crutial to some arcs in the show, but not for her therapeutic environment/style. Someone else should have been the ships psychologist.
