Of course the new Star Trek film is going to affect canon
As a long-time Star Trek fan and avid gamer, I’ve spent countless hours immersing myself in the rich lore and intricate stories of this iconic franchise. The recent news about the upcoming Star Trek films has left me feeling both excited and apprehensive.
Earlier in the year, it was announced that Star Trek was working on two movies simultaneously. One, Star Trek 4, which includes Chris Pine and the Kelvin Timeline team. Initially, we believed this film would be a prequel, detailing the first contact experience and its consequences in the Kelvin universe. Unfortunately, we later learned that instead, this new movie is actually a sequel/prequel within the primary Star Trek timeline.
In this upcoming film, we delve into the events following First Contact Day as depicted in Star Trek: First Contact, focusing primarily on the collaboration between Humans and Vulcans in shaping the Federation’s development. (Star Trek: Enterprise serves as a prequel to this story.)
The film faced skepticism upon release, with some arguing it wouldn’t disrupt the existing lore. However, under Alex Kurtzman’s tenure, no Star Trek production has remained true to the established canon. In fact, changes have been made to an extreme degree that borders on the absurd. This team seems more interested in shaping Star Trek according to their vision than respecting its history.
As a dedicated gamer and longtime fan of the Star Trek franchise, I can’t help but notice that since the conclusion of Enterprise, certain elements have sparked ongoing debates among the community. For instance, there’s been quite a bit of controversy surrounding Spock’s sister, the flashy and seemingly anachronistic Enterprise from the reboot. And let’s not forget about the radical reinterpretation of the Gorn history in that same reboot. Every Star Trek series or film has added its own unique twist to the established lore to some extent. Given this pattern, it wouldn’t be entirely unexpected if this upcoming movie continued down that path and introduced more changes to the canon we know and love.
It’s disconcerting that the foundational story in Star Trek lore, the first encounter between humans and Vulcans, is being reconsidered. Fans are not overreacting to the prospect of altering this beloved tale; we’ve witnessed a decade’s worth of stories built upon it, making us cautious about potential modifications.
As a longtime fan of science fiction and fantasy, I’ve seen firsthand how important canon is to keeping a dedicated fanbase together. Growing up, Star Trek was a constant presence in my life, with each new generation passing down their love for the franchise to the next. The ability to build upon and continue those stories is what keeps entities like Star Trek alive and thriving.
