And, like I've said before (man, I hate quoting myself for you), IT'S ALL

for target practice was invented AFTER Star Wars came out, as seems to happen
a lot with later Star Trek creations.

See my previous point for this (you might "miss" this the first time as per
your usual behaivour), as I have reminded you (your teachers had to pin your
permission slips on your shirts 'till the day you graduated from Retards For
Life College, didn't they?), as I usually do.
Okay, how about this?  Outside of the effeminate "genetically altered spies"

creative humanoid creature called a Wookie was invented BEFORE the modern
concept of what a Klingon "really" was.
