Star Trek: We need Captain Sulu

Kelvin Universe needs Captain Sulu on the Excelsior for Star Trek 4.
It means making an Effort to put out a meaningful story for Captain Hikaru Sulu and crew who we only saw in back in Star Trek 6 as the Klingon Moon Praxis explodes.

What would be a viable tale? A ships emergency transponder summons Excelsior to Betelgeuse... the excelsior experiences a total power failure while transporting people on board mid rescue. A murder is committed. The killer is unknown but where technology would allow the Excelsior crew to determine the perpetrator, they must make do with primitive investigation tools such as crushed powder to take fingerprints, and interrogate passengers and crew. And the criminal found, ship powers up allowing the evacuation to continue and Betelgeuse goes supernova. And we find the investigations were being overseen by an all powerful unidentified alien judiciary (Q entity) who have decided they will continue studying the early Federation to see if this is a viable alternate reality worth further experimentation. Admonished by Captain Sulu for interfering in a criminal investigation by powering down the ship, and all technology, and endangered lives for your own amusement. Q says "You humans like to roll the dice." Ending the conversation by rolling a little dice cube. "Lets see how you go against the Borg..." the cube grows into a borg cube.

This allows the Borg to be the primary invader for the Kelvin Universe in Star Trek Kelvin 5 who have come in search of whoever is Creating man-made black holes (something that happened back in Star Trek Kelvin 1).

Conclusion
Although 40% *AN* (Sindhi, Urdu, Pashto) and 37% *R would be the oldest words for Treasure, 36% Ratanar (Burmese) is the oldest intact word (carrying the Exodus Marker Ta- refering to Religious Artefacts).

Star Wars: Episode 9 Do over

Lets shred the rise of skywalker and Reshoot.

Plot Points                                                                                      
  1. Begin with Leia's Grave on a planet leaving R2-D2 projecting her holographic message from Ep. IV. A New Hope over the Grave.
  2. Rei goes to Tattoine with Chewbacca in the millenium FALCON. She goes on search of light saber parts searching for the residence of Obi Wan Kenobi beyond the dune Sea. Bounty hunters nuke mos eisley to prevent her escape off the planet killing chewbacca as they establish a blockade. (More bounty hunters the better).
  3. Finn and Poe raid the Black Ice which is the imperial hyperspace fuel ship. They fight it out for control of the ship in a space battle.
  4. Kylo ren visits the ruins of the deathstar and finds Emperor Palpatine pinned these fourty years under a big metal spear through the back in deathstar wreckage- using the force to stay alive. Summoning rodents as food, a pile of bones.
  5. Palpatine declares himself ruler of the empire once again, journeys to an uncharted system with shipyards building star destroyers, tie fighters, and stormtrooper cloning facilities.
  6. A space battle over Tattoine begins with Kylo Ren's Blockade fleet as general Calrisian comes to retrieve Rei. The Emperor Arrives over Tattoine attacking Lando's Rebel Fleet. Finn and Poe arrive with the Black Ice. The destruction of the Black Ice unleashes hyperspace fuel which massively distorts space-time pulling Tattoine into Hyperspace and killing all life in the Galaxy.
  7. Movie ends with Rei meditating in the calm of Hyperspace.
That should be sufficient.
