Excerpt regarding the story:

!While plot details haven’t been shared, we do have an understanding of when the movie will take place decades before the original 2009 Star Trek film. This is very confusing, as the 2009 star trek film takes place across multiple years, and multiple timelines. This might mean decades before the main events of the movie. The main events of 2009 take place in the Kelvin Timeline in 2255. However the Kelvin timeline only started in 2233. So if this takes place anytime before 2233, it would be canonical to both the Kelvin and Prime timeline.!<

!The other option is that it takes place decades before the events of the movie in the prime timeline, in 2387. An option this movie has is to tie into the backstory of Star Trek: Picard, and possibly even explain why the Romulan Sun went supernova in the first place! I doubt this will be the case, as it will probably be set in the Kelvin Timeline, sometime after the Narada destroys the U.S.S. Kelvin.!<

Sounds to me like it'll be >!taking place in the prime timeline either way!<.

Wasn't Andor a steaming pile of dogshit?

Also anyone should be wary of a prequel. It usually means they have no creative energy at all to tell an interesting and unique story. Prequels are a way to wind the clock back so you can tell basic-bitch stories that are more trope than creative.

JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production studio will produce the movie. Abrams directed Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness, the first two movies out of three in the Kelvin timeline. The studio is describing this new movie as an expansion of its Trek universe. 🤢 🤮

Nope, it's one of the best star wars storylines since the original trilogy. I'm glad the future of star trek isn't determined by gatekeeping fans, I want more material, especially of non-enterprise stuff

@aniki @UESPA_Sputnik

It was terrible if you were expecting magic-wielding Chosen Ones and laser swords. If you enjoy anything else, it was outstanding.

I'm my opinion, a lot of the best stuff in the eu has been stories that are light on the space wizardry.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Clearly you didn't watch it. Or read any of the huge amount of overwhelmingly positive reviews. It's not just the best Star Wars in ages, it's the best show of 2023.

Andor was the anti Star Wars series. It was the best written series of all time in Star Wars terms. The dialouge was not just good, it was fucking captivating. Almost every star wars film or show the script is usually mediocre at best and has to be overcome by the actors.

Andor had multiple scenes that left me in awe of the great writing. Maybe it's because my expectations were low... But damn it was good.

Outside of Rogue One, I have found little joy in any Star Wars stuff since the original trilogy, your comment actually makes really interested in checking out Andor

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Andor is a prequel and was written and directed by Rony Gilroy, the writer of Rogue One, and it's mostly a pre-rebellion political drama with less emphasis in the pew pew (compared to the other Star Wars shows at least). And I'm surprised Disney allowed something so unapologetically antifascist without forcing the writer to tone it down.

The drew the line at "Fuck the Empire!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I would share similar feelings.

Andor is great because it's largely disconnected. They don't rely on any big major cameos, there's hardly even Jedi or Force involved. It's just a standalone story in the same universe. Honestly, the same things that made Rogue One great make Andor great.

I don't think you'll be disappointed, unless you wanted more Skywalker Family Space Drama.

It’s a good slow burn. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Nah, Andor was the one Star Wars show that was good despite being Star Wars—as in if you take out all the brand specific stuff you still have an amazingly written story about building a revolution, cynicism, and the disenfranchized standing up to change. It didn't rely on nostalgia or power fantasy. If the same director gave its own "One way out"/"I can't swim" or "to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see" moment to Star Trek, it'd rank in the top of Star Trek too.

What didn't you like about it? I'm genuinely curious, everyone else I've talked to loved it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't watch it.

It's free on 1337x.to

Andor and maybe Mandolorian season one are all I can recommend to people who aren't already heavily invested in Starwars.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely not

@UESPA_Sputnik I can't get the TrekCentral site to load at the moment, but this announcement was made two months ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oops, you're right. I just saw the publication date. Well, ignore the post then. I doubt that this movie will actually happen anyway. 😄

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well, I didn't know it, so I won't ignore this post! You can't tell me what to do!
