Starwars culture week day four: region and holiday
For this one I like to incorporate a Peruvian holiday that I think would fit in well with the mandolarians culture. And its a fighting festival event that happens in a remote village in the andes mountains.
It’s call Takanakuy which is Quechua for “ when the blood is boiling.” Or “ to hit each other.” ( depending of the source) it’s an all day festival which takes place earlier Christmas morning.
3. It’s a day to get out the aggression and settle disputes ( although some are just there for a fight) fights usually begin with a hug before beating the heck out of each other.
4. There is a referee that oversee the fights.
And in recent years women also participating too.
There’s also masks that people wear sometimes.

On the face of it, it’s kind of surprising that Star Trek has managed to get through almost 900 episodes without a single musical, but in some ways, it’s not surprising at all: I don’t thing musical episodes were really a thing during the 1960s, and during the 90s, Rick Berman was infamous for only letting his composers write boring “wallpaper” music for their episode scores (and he really doesn’t seem the type to like musical theatre, what with being homophobic and all).
say what you will but “there is a parallel universe where people burst into song in times of heightened emotion and it’s seeping through which is why we’re singing” is Peak Trek
