Makes sense. Apparently he was also creatively involved in the episode to a certain degree.

    I hadn't heard that, other than they got his blessing basically (and the licensing) and he was given a copy of the script to read. Cirroc Lofton seems to be the one that was as close to hands-on involved as you can get when you're not a writer of the script.

    It's just something I read on reddit. maybe the "certain degree" was "he read the script and did not object". Maybe they meant this: https://screenrant.com/star-trek-starfleet-academy-avery-brooks-sisko-voice-cameo/

    Lofton: ... And so throughout the step-by-step process of this episode developing, he was aware of it. I had his blessing, and I was happy to get the opportunity to do this love story for Sisko.

    Newton: ... Ciroc got a phone call, and it was Mr. Brooks, and it was out of the blue. And he was able to put me and Kerrice both on the phone with them, and I won't share the details of the conversation, but what I got to witness was Mr. Brooks unequivocally handing the reins over to Kerrice, to this younger generation.
