I’m fine with the occasional pew pew space battle, but one of the reasons I have always valued Star Trek over Star Wars is because Starfleet tries to talk things out first and usually only resorts to violence when faced with an imminent threat.
The funny thing about the Jedi is that talking things out first is supposed to be their job. The “Wars” part of Star Wars only happened because a thousand years of peace fell apart because Palpatine’s evil space magic was stronger than the Jedi’s or something, so they didn’t get to tell the Senate that political corruption was bad, actually.
Anyways, that’s why the new Star Wars series should be about the internal politics of the High Republic, the most interesting part of Star Wars.

Same, but DS9 is still the best ST series.
That was even true in DS9 though. Sisko tried to talk things out with the Dominion more than once.
Yeah that’s true, Sisko was more than willing to talk it out. If that didn’t work though, he wasn’t afraid to throw a punch, Q or not.
Throwing the punch was the less interesting outcome of talks breaking down. For the more interesting outcome, ask Senator Vreenak.
Throwing a Garak is infinitely more useful than throwing a punch.
