A Lost Monologue From the Prequel that Should've Been
"The subspace geometry of the galaxy is vastly different from its actual geometry. That is why you can't just point yourself at a distant star and engage; one makes as if to go in a seemingly unrelated direction, calculating navigation with advanced polyfinite mathematics. Thus, in a lonely universe are so many planets and cultures and peoples so clustered together on the other side of warp speed."

But... if it were written like that, we wouldn't have gotten such classic lines as "Let's go!" and "They're called phase-pistols. They have two settings: stun and kill. It would be best not to confuse them."
Oh, and "We can't be afraid of the wind, Lieutenant."
That one inspires me daily. I can't believe I forgot it.
