Magazine Decay: A TV example. Some of the later episodes expand the subject far beyond ancient fighting styles into such topics as demolition derby.
Narm Charm: Peter Woodward and the Conquest team got to go to work and play barbarian or ninja or start throwing knives at targets. Quite understandably, they have a lot of fun throughout despite the lack of polish, and it shows.
The fanfic:
Cargo Ship: Grand Moff Tharde has an... interesting attitude toward the Death Star.
A new Empire rises. The last stronghold of the Republic forces is destroyed right at the beginning. A dwindling tiny force of survivors attempts to flee the Empire, and only survives due to a newly appointed commander of one ship ramming their vessel into the enemy. About fifteen years later, and The Last Jedi comes out...
Similarly, Romulus is destroyed in both this fanfic and eventual canon.
Moral Event Horizon: Ruk has every reason to dislike Chang and the Federation — but it's still evil for him to throw them to the Borg.
