He should abso-fucking-lutely NOT have done Star Wars.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Or rampant charges of mutiny.
Also ludicrous. Everyone knows it's the non-coms who actually get shit done.
Yeah, I don't know if O'Brien's rank was ever mentioned on TNG, but I'm pretty sure he was wearing Lieutenant (junior grade) pips on his uniform for his appearances. Once they moved him over to DS9 they started addressing him as a Chief Petty Officer and eventually switched out his pips for a different rank insignia.
ETA: I was off. He actually has full lieutenant pips on his collar in TNG and apparently Riker even calls him "Lieutenant" in an episode.
I think enlisted didn't start showing up onscreen until either after Roddenberry died or at least once he stepped away from directly running the show

I still haven't seen RoS, because I just can't be that mad at something fictional these days, and I know I would be. I actually had to try to explain to M the other day why some Star Wars fans don't like RoS, and there might have been some incoherent gesturing.

So all those guys in red shirts who got killed in the beginning of the show were officers? Guess that would explain why Starfleet would have been all officers ....
Still haven't seen RoS either.

After seeing it, I was playing with a random hurt/comfort trope generator that spit out the whole plot at random and that pretty much sums up that clusterfuck.
I saw RoS. I'm not angry about it, just disappointed. Part of that is because I actually really liked TLJ and RoS went out of its way to throw out as much of it that it could, and the other part is because it is basically just full of dumb.
