Pop culture updates #8.


Updates for the two big franchises that start with "Star".
First...

The Captain for Star Trek series 7 is going to be.....


Picard again!
Yep, series 7 (no title yet) will be 20 years after "Nemesis", and see the return of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard.

Excellent.
The TNG/DS9/VOY timeline needed a way better send-off than fucking "Nemesis".
'Bout time they finally fixed that.

Heh, and next year will be the 25 years into the future shown in "All Good Things...".
That was 1994, can you believe it?


And, secondly...


The John Favreau Star Wars streaming series will be set 3 years after Return Of The Jedi, be 10 episodes long, cost 100 million dollars (that's season 6-7 Thrones money!), and be set on Mandalore (where Boba-Fett's suit comes from).

Previously, it was said it was 7 years after Jedi, but Favreau actually said "7 years after the Battle Of Endor", which is easy to mix up with the Battle Of Yavin.
Endor is Jedi, Yavin is Hope, and Empire is 3 years after Hope, and Jedi is 4, so another 3 years after Jedi is 7.
So, he meant Yavin.
No biggie.

Hopefully, there'll be a title soon so I can call it something.

Aaaand, that's those.
