The Defiant, the Valiant, and Fear

The USS Defiant from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was initially called Valiant. This name was dropped out of fear that it would conflict with Star Trek: Voyager and its titular starship, the USS Voyager, also beginning with a "V". For a brief time it was considered to retain Valiant as the name of the class: but dialog in "The Search" and the ship's dedication plaque firmly establish the Defiant as the pathfinder.

In the 2009 film Star Trek, when Cadet James T. Kirk cheats on the Kobayashi Maru test designed by Commander Spock, Commander Spock tells Cadet Kirk at Kirk's inquiry "The purpose is to experience fear! Fear in the face of certain death!" In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the Jedi Master Yoda said to Anakin Skywalker (The Phantom Menace) "Fear is the path to the dark side! Fear leads to anger! Anger leads to hate! Hate leads to suffering!" Furthermore, in Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Yoda tells Anakin Skywalker (Revenge of the Sith) "The fear of loss is a path to the dark side!"
