Anyway it’s late and I’m emotionally exhausted from dealing with my extended family but please consider star wars and star trek take place in the same universe in different galaxies far far away from each other

they’re called the “unknown regions” because the people of a GFFA can’t fathom a place where people have transcended war and moved on to scientific exploration

Okay, so one day a wormhole opens or they invent reliable transwarp or some shit and the ST galaxy makes contact with SW, and… gets confused.

Like, how the flying FUCK did humans get all the way out here? Those are definitely humans. I mean, sure, they’ve met a surprising number of convincingly lookalike species but there is a level of genuinely magnificent weirdness that only humans manage on this kind of regular basis. Did the humans know about this all along? No, all the ST-galaxy and SW-galaxy humans seem sincerely mystified. And then the Force comes up and nobody believes it COME ON WE CALL BULLSHIT THERE IS NO MAGIC MIND FORCE OKAY and then they see it demonstrated by a SW-galaxy human and obviously there’s something there and suddenly every non-human on the exploratory vessel is a believer, even the Vulcans. The humans are all ‘what, no, this is bullshit’ and all the others are all ‘NO THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH’ and trying to explain to the non-human SW-galaxy people about humans and they just do the WEIRDEST SHIT and somehow it works out and they violate the laws of physics like there’s no tomorrow and now suddenly it all makes perfect sense, and of course all said non-humans are all ‘yeah, humans are fucking crazy amirite, I mean some of us can learn to use the Force too, but HUMANS, man, you wouldn’t believe the shit they get up to.’ And the whole First Contact devolves into about twelve non-human species trading Wacky Human Stories for hours while two sets of mysteriously genetically identical humans argue about the existence of the Force until an all-out brawl is only derailed by the discovery that there are multiple new forms of booze to try out and LET’S DRINK TO FRIENDSHIP.
