Renegades: Ominara

[F. King Daniel]

Looks like [not Trek] Renegades is carrying on with Renegades: Ominara.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowb... Star Trek production (and has pictures)[/url
This is a Mirror Universe story about legally-distinct-from-Uhura Ominara, starring Nichelle Nichols as Ominara and Loren Lott playing her in flashbacks. The Sun seems to think this is an official Trek movie
I love Of Gods and Men shamelessly, Renegades and Renegades: The Requiem (where Nichelle's Uhura counterpart was Admiral Jamison, named for the first black woman in space who cameoed in a TNG episode) much less so. But I'll check this out.

I just ignore the legal nonsense and consider it Trek myself.

Shitty Trek.

No update for months on the kickstarter but an article in The Sun?

OK...

 

[JoeZhang]

Is it another rest home in space like they did with Chekov?

This apparently is out (backers only, since it's no longer Trek they're not obligated to release), but I came across a clip here. Nichelle apparently has 3 minutes of screen time and can barely get her lines out.

I'll pass. I want to remember Nichelle from the last time I saw her in person at a San Francisco comic con. Where I spoke with her for a brief moment, telling her how much she and Uhura meant to me. She squeezed my hand and said, "Bless you."

That's how I want to remember her. And her current situation breaks my heart.

It's been forever so I googled to see if this is available anywhere (I am weirdly curious about a sorta-prequel-bootleg-rebranded Star Trek fan film, even if Nichelle's conservator issues are uncomfortable), and all I found was this site selling them for £27 and on Nichelle's site there were signed bluerays for $110

Has anyone seen it?

Anybody who is more "in the know" is welcome to correct or clarify, but it seems like the full video has only officially been made available to backers on the crowdfunding campaign.

Considering the nature of the site you linked to, the kind of stuff that gets sold there, and the description when you go to that particular seller's main page, I'm going to guess that their blu-ray of this production might not be "officially" affiliated with the project. But that's just a guess.

Perhaps the producers should be informed if it's not their official copies being sold, ETA - if they're allowed to do so, of course.

After all, they altered their original Star Trek: Renegades to get away from the Fan Film rules restrictions, so why should someone not affiliated with the project be profiting from their current work? Especially if its meant to be only available to backers?

I enjoyed "Renegades," but it fell apart for me once they had to remove all the "Star Trek" references. What makes a fun fanfic does not necessarily make for a decent original story. Still, I may check this out, if I find it.

Personally, rather than a continuation of this creatively-castrated series, I'd rather just see some of the original characters introduced into the new canon "Star Trek" timeline. Not very likely, but a Trekkie can dream.

Update: Ooof. It's bad enough, and that's fine I like bad films when I'm in the mood and then it just stops before resolving anything at all.

Anything.

At all.

No finish, just... stops.

Sky Conway's Trek and Trek-adjacent films have been diminishing returns but this is syfy at it's worst quality. Except they end, whereas this is another attempt at a pilot.

And Walter Koenig? In the thumbnail. On the poster. Not in the film. At all.
