You forgot Alka Seltzer's "Mama mia, that's a spicy meatball!"

I'd be much more likely to watch Muppet Dark City if Jennifer Connelly was the only human cast member.
I found a lot to like in The Acolyte. It wasn't top notch Star Wars content, but it deserved a better reception than it got.
This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough.
What, laser-sword welding space wizards weren't crazy enough for you?
In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it's star once, 368 standard days.
There were 3 generations of starships named Enterprise between TOS and TNG. Surely that's the most relevant measure of a generation for Star Trek.
Yeah, I can't work up much existential dread at this prospect. Given the immensity of the universe, the odds of this happening anywhere that it will affect the human race anytime soon are pretty damn slim.
My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order's rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn't do so suggests that she had no such desire.
Master Leem wasn't the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.
Ashoka was no longer a Jedi by the time order 66 was issued.
Also, while the Jedi weren't allowed to marry and were discouraged from forming strong attachments, this didn't always stop them. One Jedi master married and had several children with the council's knowledge, and was even allowed to remain a Jedi master, Thracia Cho Leem.

My head-canon is that there is no retconm, or at least no need for one.
We've seen in ST SNW that where the Gorn are concerned, the younger they are, the faster and dumber they are.
Pike and his crew have only directly encountered hatchlings, adolescents and a very few Gorn of age to serve on starships, perhaps the Gorn equivalent of redshirts.
The logical extension of that idea is that as Gorn mature, they become slower, burlier and more intelligent. The Gorn Kirk encountered in Arena may have a very mature individual, thus his slow, lumbering pace and extreme cunning. Probably overdue for a promotion to admiral.
