There were 3 generations of starships named Enterprise between TOS and TNG. Surely that's the most relevant measure of a generation for Star Trek.

Yeah, I can't work up much existential dread at this prospect. Given the immensity of the universe, the odds of this happening anywhere that it will affect the human race anytime soon are pretty damn slim.

My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order's rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn't do so suggests that she had no such desire.

Master Leem wasn't the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.

Ashoka was no longer a Jedi by the time order 66 was issued.

Also, while the Jedi weren't allowed to marry and were discouraged from forming strong attachments, this didn't always stop them. One Jedi master married and had several children with the council's knowledge, and was even allowed to remain a Jedi master, Thracia Cho Leem.

That's just not so. J.M. Barrie's book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.

Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.

Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that "You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression." No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.

Of the 16 images, five don't count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn't acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I love martial arts films in general, but this one didn’t grab me.

I’ve heard him introduce himself in a video, pronouncing his name as you would a hair comb.

At least read the article. Literally the second sentence reads:

“The agency said that it is taking "urgent" steps to increase compliance such as auditing more high-income taxpayers as well as businesses and partnerships. “

It goes on later:

“ The IRS has said it won't increase audits on households earning less than $400,000 annually.”

I have a 4 meg Pi 4b running Pi-hole and Mini-DLNA. It’s rather under-utilized for those tasks, but it serves them quite well.
