Indeed, and with Kurtzman we got a franchise Killer in the lead position for Star Trek.

Realistically, they can't make the show LOOK pre-TOS. And using the time in-between Enterprise and TOS is loaded with unused story potential. I can get over the aesthetics for the most part, yet there are A LOT of things that are stylistically unneeded for Discovery.
Take this episode: "pulling" an image from a table and have it move around, although neat, is JUST NOT IN-LINE WITH EXPECTATIONS - it's just not needed. Save that for PIcard's show because … future? THAT breaks "canon" because it was never done in Star Trek … ever. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I could go on, and it may seem nit-picky, yet this is one of the examples that have several ST fans cross their arms. I mean, Kurtzman and Co. shouldn't have to come out and reassure viewers/fans that Season 2 will start to align with established canon - that should have been the idea from Episode 1. Seriously, Pike's uniform when he showed up was a great in-between Discovery and TOS, and it got pushed aside. WHY? Because he's on Discovery now? C'mon.
I'm not saying Discovery has to LOOK dumbed down, (we already had to do that with Enterprise) yet I do prefer it fit better. Currently, it looks like a totally different show.

It is? No matter how vocal the fans are, the plain fact is that money talks and the fans are still ploughing billions into Disney's coffers by going to see them. The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi made more than 3.4 billion off of budgets totalling 450 million. Even Rogue One and Solo made 1.4 billion from budgets of 450 million. Sure Solo was a flop but that's because Disney and Kathleen Kennedy interfered and approved a script that was garbage.
I'm no Star Wars White Knight, do I think the new movies are any good? No I don't but then I realise that they weren't written for me. They were written for kids who may or may not be familiar with the original movies and who have grown up with summer blockbuster movies where everybody shouts and everything explodes, not carefully crafted space opera. Sure the original trilogy had its faults but the new films seem to be a how to guide on creating a soulless, empty experience.
As I don't play any SW games, what have EA done to the franchise?

Look like you have not followed what was going when Solo flopped but there was a lot going on at Disney.
Also Solo did not made a billion - https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies...hologyfilm.htm

It would have been so much better had Pike arrived and the Disco crew commented on the new look of his uniform only to have him say, yep, this is the new starfleet standard, best get yourself to a replicator.
The only thing that I can think of is that during TOS, each ship had its own insignia so maybe they've extrapolated from that? Still doesn't explain why the Discovery crew are using the Enterprise insignia. My only hope is that the Disco gets destroyed and they're given a ship that doesn't look like a four year old drew it, USS Discovery NCC-1031-A.

Typical EA invasive micro-transactions since they acquired the license from Disney starting with Star Wars Battlefront, to make a long story short the game had barely any content and a lot of it was locked behind paywalls and RNG loot boxes.
Then came Battlefront 2, where it got even worse. Actual character progression was tied to loot boxes of which you could earn several a day through various means (inc. buying them) characters such as Darth Vader couldn't be unlocked by simply playing the game through regular progression. No it was unlocked via loot box, it came down to RNG whether or not you got to progress.
It created a seriously unbalanced gameplay environment, that lead to other players having characters or heroes that another didn't, giving them the decisive advantage. Essentially it was Pay2Win.
Granted a lot of those issues has now been rectified after a massive community backlash. But it has left a sour taste in most fans mouths, there is a significantly small amount of players that actually play that game regularly.
Then there was the cancellations. So there were several game studios were working on Star Wars titles prior to EA being given total dominance over the IP games-wise. After EA was given the license they ended up cancelling a lot of the games in development and outright buying some studios and completely dismantling them, nobody knows the real reason but its suspected that it was EA's way of removing competition for the Battlefront titles.

Sorry, I didn't really clarify that; Rogue one and Solo made over a billion between them.
You're right though, I didn't really follow what was going on at Disney because as soon as they announced that they'd fired the directors, I lost all interest.

We also have to look at what happened by release date:
Episode 7 - Super Hype for new Star Wars
Rouge One - Hype for Star Wars Stories
Episode 8 - Huge disappointment for the fans
Solo - Fans boycotting Star Wars, Disney stopping all Star Wars Story Films

i mostly disliked the episode. way too much talk within 2/3 in my opionion. the one thing i hated is after commercial, burnum wakes from injury and then bam commercial again just after 5 mins, which i found to be very rude of cbs.
As far as Tilly, yes she talks too much. I used to think she is funny, but she is starting to get on my nerves.
