It's beginning to feel like Charlie Brown and the football at this point, but let's see if they can actually get this one off the ground.

As always, I will not actually believe there is a new Trek movie being made until my butt is in the seat, with a popcorn in one hand, Dr. Pepper in the second hand, opening credits already rolling on the screen.

Now this I'm interested in. Andor was a quite good and, importantly, character-driven study of a desperate man growing to challenge an insurmountable empire... You know, in contrast to the exhaustive world building and effects-heavy "pew pew" fan service that has become the rest of modern star wars

I dare say, I'd also enjoy this film much more than the nixed Tarantino film

Anyone else bothered by yet another prequel? Enterprise, Kelvin films, Discovery (s1-2), strange new worlds … there’s clearly a hesitancy to do something new right?

I know people like to say Trek was meant for the small screen, but I honestly love all the (well, non Kelvin) movies and am very excited for this.

What I liked most about Andor was how it felt perfectly at home in the Star Wars universe while also having its own distinct flavor.

A lot of modern Star Wars media just keeps leaning on references and recycling of old content. To quote RLM, “I saw things I know!” Andor stayed light on direct references and instead tried to have its own new ideas and visual designs that would fit in the universe.

If Hayes can do that with Trek, it will be very welcome.

This is the same guy who directed the Black Mirror's Star Trek homage episode "USS Callistor"

Andor is probably the best thing to come of Disney Star Wars. If that quality persists I am very excited. If that quality does not persist still a win: more Star Trek.

I just hope whatever form it takes we lose the bizarrely shoehorned-in fictional culture of having a “number one” (literally only Picard used that nickname for Riker back in the day) and the equally annoying and cringey creation of the captain of the ship having a “go to warp” catchphrase.

I'm a trekkie but can't we come up with more new stuff

What the hell!! I want more Stange new worlds! It's probably one of my favorite of the treks.

Please just make more SNW.
