Life is a joke
  • Universal Pictures bought the rights to make Lego movies, but that didn't include the rights to any of the popular characters from The Lego Movie or its spin-offs. Those stayed with Warner Brothers (even though WB can no longer use Lego, so those characters are functionally dead).

    Universal also didn't get the rights to any of the franchise characters typically associated with Lego, so they can't use Boba Fett, or Batman, or Gandalf, or Harry Potter, or even Jack Sparrow.

    So they're sitting on this huge IP and have no way to actually use it. And so Pharrell comes along and says he wants to make a documentary about himself, and they say nah that's boring, nobody wants to see that. Then someone realizes they're going to lose the rights to Lego if they don't make a movie with them soon. And here we are.

    So we learn at the end that Sisko's birth was engineered by the Prophets, right? That he was always destined to be the Emissary because that's how it had to be, from the nonlinear perspective of the Prophets.

    So what if they based him on a man from Earth centuries before (perhaps one of his father's ancestors)? He does say at one point that maybe God is trying to tell him to quit writing and go into the restaurant business, betraying a love for cooking, which maybe he passed on to his children - and maybe he passed this on to his descendants, one of whom moved to New Orleans and opened a Creole kitchen, which would stay in the family for many generations...

    They chose this man because by some quirk he had genuine future-sight and saw forward into the life of Sisko because of their connection established by the Prophets - creating a self-sustaining loop.

    Now of course that doesn't explain why all of the people in Benny's life are so similar to Sisko's people (or is it the other way around?), but maybe there's something there about celestial-temporal archetypes, or Benny is projecting those faces and personalities onto his coworkers because of his strange and exceptional mind.
