Evil that “It’s a trap” only works with Star Trek.
This appears to be from early 2022.

The real, most trolling cruelty here is that if you say “Star Wars” you can’t have “It’s a trap!”
And Star Trek fans will have to endure a Star Wars meme staining their choice.
Huh. Doesn’t work.
Seems they spelled “Stargate” incorrectly. 😞
You misspelled “Battlestar Galactica”

Yesterday puzzmo.com did it with “what colour was the dress”. You could either answer blue or gold and it fit. But it wasn’t as good as this one. And I don’t think You can access archived crosswords on puzzmo.
Edit: It was today, so You can still access it for a couple of hours.
Solution here for reference:

But white doesn’t fit at all. (Which is fine, the dress was blue)
I make the argument that Star Wars is not science fiction, rather a fantasy that takes place in space. Science and technology do not drive the stories, nor are they the solutions to the problems that arise. They are incidental and could just as well be replaced with actual magic. They tried to go the other way by explaining the force with midiclorians… Which was accepted by basically no one.
Bro, you got some weird brain worms. Not considering Star Wars as science fiction based on some technical hubbub is like calling Trump a communist because he the reginality of caucus results in his disposition to yearn for the masses. That ain’t real life. This is science, bitch. Get with the God damn. It is as it are and be so it will do, so it shall.
And as it is such, so also as such is it unto you.
If this is old enough, that distinction didn’t exist… at least not in popular discourse. Lasers and shit was SciFi, even if it had magic or whatever.
This is why libraries put the sci fi and fantasy sections together, so they can avoid being drawn into these kinds of debates.
while i love star wars, its not science fiction
If a story has prominent fictional science, then it’s science fiction. FTL travel, freezing people in carbonite and reviving them, midichlorians, etc etc etc, - Star Wars is definitely science fiction.
star wars is officially a space opera
