Obviously, Relics was made when Generations was but a nervous twitch in the screenwriter's eye, and nobody caught the error.

Ronald D. Moore said:

The only way to address the Scotty/Relics issue in Generations was not to have Scotty in the movie at all. I wasn't willing to make that trade for the sake of a single line that can easily be rationalized away by saying "Scotty was momentarily confused." I still wouldn't do it.

The way Picard's brother and nephew were killed off still seems incredibly random and cruel to me. (Who the heck dies in a barn fire in the 24th century?) The episode Family has been essentially ruined for me thanks to Generations.

It wasn't that random. They wanted to reinforce/introduce Picard's need for children to carry on the family name. As long as his nephew was around he didn't have to carry that burden.

I still hated it though.

Word on the street is that Disney's planning to release this thing in December of 2015. Way less competition at the box office and more time to finish the movie.

Anyway, nothing official yet, just a rumor.

That doesn't jive with all of the Celebration VII announcements. It's been said all over that Celebration VII will "coincide with the release of Episode VII."

But you're also right in that the casual viewer might be confused by having a series taking place in a different timeline than the movies coming out at the same time.


Yes, I know that Superman Returns came out while Smallville was on the air. I still think people might have been confused.

Trailer for the forthcoming "The Star Wars" comic based on Lucas' original concepts. That Luke Skywalker guy looks awfully familiar!


Not fond of the "Lucas as Luke" design, but I'm loving the all-red lightsabers.

 

I don't know why not. In the story he plays the Obi-Wan role.

If anyone's interested, if you create a free Dark Horse account you can read the preview here.
