Yes; it's trivial and just a director's "looks cool" effect.

But; no one knows what warp speed looks like, so extending the possibilities is a good thinking exercise, and the directors have given us a building block to work on that exercise.

And; Since the stars wouldn't look like that, its easier to adopt a reasonable explaination for the effect rather than just saying "it's wrong".

Now; can somebody explain the floating morphing heads effect under time warp.
