I remember a while back @kedokinnie helped me track down some BTS info for the live action species here, a really neat and unique situation that I wish they'd recycled! (Left is from Danny Wagner, Right is from Dan Goldman)

I am deeply saddened to learn of Walter Koenig’s passing.
Although we did not know each other well away from the set, we shared the later seasons of the original Star Trek series and the six films that followed.
What I observed, and what so many fans have expressed over the years, was a man who genuinely loved the Star Trek community.
At conventions, Walter was rarely content to remain behind a signing table. He preferred to be among the people who had kept Star Trek alive for so many decades.
That kind of genuine connection is rare, and it will be remembered by everyone who came into contact with him.
My condolences to his family, his friends, and the countless fans whose lives he touched.

So sorry to hear that Walter Koenig has passed away. I knew Walter to be a very sincere, friendly, and no-nonsense man. He took his craft seriously and I very much respected him for that. He had the gift of listening to you and responding with sensitivity and wisdom. RIP Walter.
I was a few steps behind my wife at the store and overheard an old guy mutter “Lord, have mercy,” when he walked past her 😂

When Disney created their sadly ill-fated Star Wars hotel, they made a few incredibly cool, incredibly delicate 'real' lightsabers for the performers in the shows. I'm probably one of few outsiders to get to try one. They travel with their own sound system and engineers for the fx - and yes, it feels like a real one.

Somewhere between Gen X and Millennial is a micro generation that is defined by this song.
Released in 1996 as the second single from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, “1979” became the Smashing Pumpkins' biggest American hit, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on both the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. The album was eventually certified 10× Platinum in the United States. “1979” was almost left off the album: producer Flood gave Corgan a final deadline to complete the unfinished song or remove it from the record. Corgan went home, finished the lyrics that night, and returned the next day with a new demo that convinced Flood to keep it.
Billy Corgan wrote the track as a nostalgic reflection on adolescence and the transition into adulthood. Although the title refers specifically to the year Corgan was 12, the song is less a literal autobiography than an idealised reflection on what it felt like to be young.
Remember when she was on a different talk show and started dropping Star Trek: Enterprise lore?
Mila Kunis just confessed the most unhinged thing to Patrick Stewart’s face and he had no idea it was coming.**
She’s been sitting next to him the whole time playing it cool. Then she drops that her old Nokia ringtone was literally “Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise” and she paid $1.99 for it. Patrick is sitting there smiling while she starts full-on doing the voice.
James is dying. She keeps going. Then Patrick starts telling the story of how everyone told him Star Trek: The Next Generation would be dead in six months and his agent basically said “just go make some money and come home.
Then it gets worse (better). He casually mentions he once got invited onto the flight deck of Concorde and actually pressed the buttons that put the engines into supersonic. Mila’s face when she hears that is pure chaos. She is not okay. This is the full conversation and it does not calm down. Watch it before it gets clipped to death.
