I know you’re joking a bit, but that’s because those were supposed to be directly telling the backstory to existing films. If they were a completely different series that had basically nothing to do with the OT, it’d be different. Also, I’m all in favor of complaining about plot contradictions in terms of the STD and the original timeline, just not the fact that they redesigned. I don’t even mind complaining about the poor (IMO) redesign, just not the fact that they redesigned it itself.
