A prequel set in the "Kelvinverse". We've gone from suck to blow.

I don't really care about the early days of starfleet (I don't need or want a backstory or history of it), I want to explore strange new worlds and go further into the future. This also the problem with Star Wars. |

It'll tell the origin story of the iconic Captain Robau.
Chronicling his rise from Ensign directly to Captain in just one promotion, because Abrams doesn't understand how Starfeet ranks work.
It will end with him taking command of the iconic starship Kelvin, after which all the powers of the galaxy decide to name the universe.

Y'know, going back over this thread, I don't think I've ever actually called it "the Kelvinverse" personally. I've always just called it "the remakes."

This also the problem with Star Wars. Hard disagree. Give me the rise of the Old Republic, give me the first Jedi/Sith schism, Star Wars has SO MUCH potential in its past still. Star Trek’s past is “lived on Earth and Vulcans saw a warp signature and now we search for stuff.” And that’s only a couple hundred years in the past, so the rest of the past is literally just Earth’s past. |

It's not a movie, but my favorite Trek series since DS9 is technically a TOS prequel in Strange New Worlds.

It'll be the story of how Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek.

It'll be the story of how Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek. Featuring enough cocaine to make Wolf of Wall Street look like a church on Sunday. |

It'll be the story of how Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek. And the one after that will be about how his parents created Gene Rodenberry. |

It'll be a story about how Zephram Cochrane invented the mushroom engine.

For as much as TOS origin stories & academy-era TOS crew stories are getting as beaten into the ground as feeling the need to depict a Batman origin story yet again, I can't help but notice that there's seemingly been zero interest in exploring the earlier days of the TNG crew or really doing much of anything in the timeskip period, which is kind of obnoxious.
That being it's still honestly kind of ridiculous the differences in approach between Discovery and Strange New Worlds in terms of how to do a prequel/interquel series properly. And I say that as someone who thought the Discovery hate was excessive.

Wasn't Abrams the guy who basically said, he was never really a fan of Star Trek and didn't really get it and he and his friends were all fans of Star Wars? I watched Star Trek and thought "Man this guy would make a much better Star Wars movie than Star Trek movie" So sorry for putting that out into the universe everyone. I mean The Force Awakens was a fine setup for a new Trilogy of Star Wars... it was semi-remake of the original but it set everything back on the right foot... When he came back for The Rise of Skywalker is the issue... or more it's the issue of he made a Trilogy in two parts... It's almost like Force Awakens Rise of Skywalker with no real middle

\ The last jedi as some Side Story / And I don't even think that's really on Abrams so much as it's Rian Johnson throwing out damn near every thread setup in TFA like Michael Scott doing improv, and then Abrams having to somehow salvage things. |

But it is interesting how there is seemingly zero interest in that time period, I never really thought about it. |

The Section 31 movie is confirmed to be in the Lost Era, so maybe that will open the door a bit. |

Maybe that actually makes sense that an organization as secret as Section 31 is, or was, supposed to be, has a story set in the literal Lost Era. |

Rachel Garrett was announced a week or so back as one of the lead supporting characters, though it's likely to be set before she became captain of the Enterprise-C, but that still plants it firmly in between the end of the TOS era and the start of TNG. |
