Star Trek vs STAR WARS

Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker Concept Art Shows Chewbacca In Captivity
https://screenrant.com/star-wars-rise-skywalker-chewbacca-captured-concept-art
Of course The_Rise_of_Skywalker could have been a better movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Rise_of_Skywalker#Critical_response
Perhaps that's why the STAR+WARS saga keeps branching out.

Bigfoot, Chewbacca and Ewoks, etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRdJBOreJVk
Chewbacca is such a cool character.
http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/The_Secret_of_Bigfoot
Of course today, its more common to use CGI rather than use a Bigfoot costume.
http://space1970.blogspot.ca/search/label/Six%20Million%20Dollar%20Man
Sometimes it might not be a man in a costume, or a naturally tall & extra hairy person. http://www.bfro.net/leiterman/Bigfoot-rock.htm
http://www.americanmonsters.com/site/2010/01/loren-coleman-interview
There are so many myths & legends about various LARGE humanoid beings throughout the ages.
But sometimes the beard is intended to make the man look more intimidating, even ferocious.
Even today, some men like to sport the caveman look & if they are very tall, perhaps they could be mistaken for a Bigfoot.
http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/Bigfoot_V Of course this looks more like a caveman.
http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/Bigfoot Very ferocious looking, nevertheless.
This looks more like a lumberjack or a man lost within a playoff_beard.
http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bigfoot_V_-_Left_eye_becoming_organic.jpg
Is Bigfoot an offshoot of the caveman or is this a separate spices altogether?
Could there be Bigfoot worlds or something like a Wookiee planet?
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookiee vs. Bigfoot.
At the time of his death, he was signed to play in "The Battler" on the "Playwrights '56" (1955) television series. The role went instead to Paul Newman.
'Rolf Weütherich', the German auto mechanic who was riding with Dean in the passenger seat during his fatal auto crash, was thrown from the car by the impact and received multiple injuries. After Dean's death, he fell into a depression from the trauma of the incident and made several suicide attempts. He died in Germany in 1981 in an auto accident similar to the one that James Dean died in." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000015/bio#trivia

The Book of Boba Fett

Bigfoot and Big Lights in the Sky
Bigfoot is just one of several elusive & mysterious beings, out there.
Of course, STAR WARS has its take on furry humanoid beings. http://www.wired.com/magazine/21-03,
http://paranormal-intersection.blogspot.ca/2010/06/bigfoot-chewbacca-and-ewoks-etc.html
Sightings of big light patterns over a big city sure gets some people very curious. However, after all these years most people just continue living in their hamster cage life of limited curiosity.
And sometimes a person might experience things from another dimension, another plane of existence.
http://www.disinfo.com/2012/12/opti-and-i-one-mans-experiences-with-a-hyperdimensional-creature
If even some of these designs are made from something more intelligent than pranksters, serious research needs to continue into this phenomenon.

The MATRIX: Numbers and Patterns and Rabbit-hole Synchronicity
https://takanta.com/555-meaning , https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Angels
Whether this is a natural world or a digital universe, various accounts of angels and other entities have been around for a long time. However, do angels have all the angles covered? Such beings would certainly know their way around their matrix of reality. And so do the MIB.
https://www.wired.com/2002/12/holytech
https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/digitalphysics.html
https://www.britannica.com/topic/number-symbolism
Numerology has many methods and interpretations.
Others just see pure_mathematics, but even that could be part of a cosmic program.
Applied_mathematics vs. the meaning-of-numbers.
Number and patterns can be found all throughout nature and the "real" world.

"The idea that our universe can be modelled as a giant computer dates back to the 1970s. But as Pablo Arrighi and Jonathan Grattage describe, quantum-information theorists are now hoping to revitalize this idea by making the "digital physics" project compatible with quantum theory." https://physicsworld.com/a/the-quantum-game-of-life

The Washington_Monument was the first structure to reach 555 feet or almost 170m.
https://gizmodo.com/why-we-didnt-know-how-tall-the-washington-monument-was-1686262508
"When completed, the Washington Monument was the tallest building in the world at 555 feet..." https://www.nps.gov/wamo/learn/historyculture/index.htm Its still the tallest in DC since the late 1800s.
555_California_Street was the biggest and tallest building in SF near the end of the 1960s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(Doctor_Who)
Tron (1982) and especially Blade_Runner (1982) exposed the world to CGI and Cyberpunk.
The view is much higher than the 13th floor, because in the Tron world the digital sky is the limit. An interactive urban matrix, the sprawling city in night or day mode. The Tron horizon. The cyberspace perspective. Tron Wars. The Tron matrix and Blade Runner were like 2 sides of the same tech coin.
https://io9.gizmodo.com/how-did-william-gibson-really-feel-about-blade-runner-896472321 From 2013. Although BR wasn't about being in someones simulation, the world was under the total authority of a global network of corporations. Corporations had become non living entities and some of the corporations created a division of robots that seemed to be, MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN.
"Henry Dorsett Case is a low-level hustler in the dystopian underworld of Chiba City, Japan. Once a talented computer hacker, Case was caught stealing from his employer. As punishment for his theft, Case's central nervous system was damaged with a mycotoxin, leaving him unable to access the global computer network in cyberspace, a virtual reality dataspace called the "matrix". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer#Plot It was published in 1984.
William Gibson tapped into what would become the cyberpunk matrix. A control grid of corporate tech and hackers. Plus a bunch of people that didn't fit into the $Y$TEM.
The Cyberpunk_Influence really took off going into the 1990s. Now A.I. almost has an eye on everything.

The Bank_of_America_Center_(San_Francisco) and the Transamerica_Pyramid on the first SimCity cover. Sometimes the synchronicity is subtle, at first. The same two iconic towers are shown in Part 2 of the MATRIX. They can be seen at the right side of this picture.

555_California_Street opened as the B of A headquarters in 1969. It has 52 stories and is equivalent to 60 levels, if all the mechanical or plant floors are included.
Two decades later, a very basic urban simulation game was on the market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity_(1989_video_game)
https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-thinks-theres-a-50-chance-we-live-in-a-matrix-2016-9
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/SF_Transamerica_full_CA.jpg , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transamerica_Pyramid#Specifications
The Transamerica_Pyramid opened in 1972 with 48 stories. Its equivalent to having about 65 floors, if the windows went right up to the top.
Part of MATRIX 4 was filmed in front of the Transamerica_Pyramid. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/matrix-4-production-melts-san-francisco , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_fourth_Matrix_film
Bank_of_America is known for having the tallest or some of the tallest buildings in several cities. For some people, seeing the B of A tower rise in SF during the late 1960s was something that looked more suited for a Mega_City.
"Appearances in fiction aside, Gibson was the focus of a biographical documentary by Mark Neale in 2000 called No Maps for These Territories. The film follows Gibson over the course of a drive across North America discussing various aspects of his life, literary career and cultural interpretations. It features interviews with Jack Womack and Bruce Sterling, as well as recitations from Neuromancer by Bono and The Edge." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson#Film_adaptations,_screenplays,_and_appearances
https://www.u2.com/news/title/edge_bono_original_music_new_william_gibson_flick Whether in 2001 or back in 1991, most people didn't realize how profound and extensive the synchronicity was between WG and U2. https://www.u2.com/news/title/exclusive_clips_from_new_william_gibson_movie

"U2's Zooropa album was heavily influenced by Neuromancer,[44] and the band at one point planned to scroll the text of Neuromancer above them on a concert tour, although this did not end up happening. Members of the band did, however, provide background music for the audiobook version of Neuromancer as well as appearing in No Maps for These Territories, a biographical documentary of Gibson.[142] He returned the favour by writing an article about the band's Vertigo Tour for Wired in August 2005.[143] The band Zeromancer take their name from Neuromancer.[144]
The film The Matrix (1999) drew inspiration for its title, characters and story elements from the Sprawl trilogy.[145] The characters of Neo and Trinity in The Matrix are similar to Bobby Newmark (Count Zero) and Molly ("Johnny Mnemonic", Neuromancer).[98] Like Turner, protagonist of Gibson's Count Zero, characters in The Matrix download instructions (to fly a helicopter and to "know kung fu", respectively) directly into their heads, and both Neuromancer and The Matrix feature artificial intelligences which strive to free themselves from human control.[98] Critics have identified marked similarities between Neuromancer and the film's cinematography and tone.[146] In spite of his initial reticence about seeing the film on its release,[13] Gibson later described it as "arguably the ultimate 'cyberpunk' artifact." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson#Cultural_significance

"To redesign the stage for the 1992 North American stadium leg—dubbed "Outside Broadcast"—Williams collaborated with stage designers Mark Fisher and Jonathan Park, both of whom had worked on the Steel Wheels Tour stage for the Rolling Stones..."

There is a lot of synchronicity between U2 and the MATRIX. Indeed, from the Zoo_TV_Tour in the early 1990s to the release of The_MATRIX in 1999 on March 31, were like bookends. The_Wachowskis really started something fantastic that wasn't even real all of the time.
The U2 ZOO TV (MATRIX) and The_MATRIX 1999 movie, was some ingenious entertainment marketing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(The_Matrix)#Fictional_character_biographyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_TV_Tour#Bono's_stage_personae The official music video for Even Better Than The Real Thing (Perfecto Mix) by U2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHKMoLY5ueY
As the ZOO_TV (MATRIX) tour was winding down, they did some extra video production in Sydney at the old Sydney_Football_Stadium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH8bnSQ8mR0
And to think that so much of this cyber-world MATRIX was influenced from William_Gibson. www.u2.com/news/title/edge_bono_original_music_new_william_gibson_flick
The ZOO_TV_Tour started off in Lakeland,_Florida. There happens to be a, Lake_Gibson there and just a little ways south is the, RP_Funding_Center. Where the first ZOO TV concert happened. (29 February 1992) A leap year of course, because its all about going down the-rabbit-hole.

In the TV series Quantum+Leap, Sam is able to time_travel his consciousness into various people in the past. It's a little like a different driver temporarily taking over the control of a car...
Of course the implication is that time and space are part of an interactive recording & projection of data that consciousness can move though.
The_Thirteenth_Floor is about VR or world simulation program where a person can temporarily link to a simulated human character. The full immersion VR system seems so real that if you didn't know that you were in a digital simulation, you would only perceive the reality around you. The movie ends with the implication that this world might be part of someone's simulation program.
In the movie Source_Code, the consciousness of the protagonist is eventually sent to live in an alternate reality.
