Kelvin broke the seal on recasting, as it were.

If Discovery or SNW had been the first to recast Kirk, there would have been a revolt, but since Kelvin got us used to the idea people just kind of accept it.

Another change is Enterprise being built on earth instead of in orbit.

I’m almost entirely sure that choice was because JJ Abrams wanted that visual in his movie. Justifications to Trek nerds were an afterthought.

What I liked most about Andor was how it felt perfectly at home in the Star Wars universe while also having its own distinct flavor.

A lot of modern Star Wars media just keeps leaning on references and recycling of old content. To quote RLM, “I saw things I know!” Andor stayed light on direct references and instead tried to have its own new ideas and visual designs that would fit in the universe.

If Hayes can do that with Trek, it will be very welcome.
