There are a lot of misconceptions floating around regarding our campaign. I think it is time for a more coherently defined mission statement.
Mission Statement: Preserving the Legacy of Star Trek and the Vision of a Starfleet Academy Series
The #StopLuveStupis campaign is a grassroots movement of passionate Star Trek fans dedicated to preserving the integrity and core values of the beloved Star Trek franchise. Our primary objective is to voice our concerns about the upcoming Starfleet Academy show set in the 32nd century and advocate for changes that we believe would better align the show with the spirit of Star Trek.
Our campaign is built upon the foundation of respect and sincere appreciation for the Star Trek universe, its creators, and its fans. We recognize that our beloved franchise is a diverse tapestry of storytelling that has evolved over time, and we celebrate the unique perspectives and opinions within our community. While we may not agree on every aspect of Star Trek's trajectory, we remain united in our love for this iconic science fiction universe.
Our goals are twofold:
- Advocate for a change in the setting of the Starfleet Academy show: While we are not opposed to the concept of a Starfleet Academy series, we believe that setting the show in the 32nd century is a misstep that could detract from the core values and essence of Star Trek. We propose that the show be set in a more familiar timeline, one that would allow for a richer exploration of the Academy's role in shaping the future leaders of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet.
- Call for a new showrunner: We respectfully request that CBS consider appointing a new showrunner who demonstrates a deep understanding of and commitment to the core values of Star Trek. We believe that a strong and experienced leader with a clear vision will be essential in guiding the Starfleet Academy series toward a successful and authentic portrayal of the Star Trek universe.
We understand that building a community around these goals is no easy task. The #StopLuveStupis campaign is committed to fostering an environment of open dialogue and collaboration, where fans can share their thoughts, ideas, and hopes for the future of Star Trek. We aim to work together, bridging the gaps between different generations of fans and nurturing a space where we can unite under a common banner.
Starfleet Academy can be saved. With the dedication and determination of our community, we can ensure that the legacy of Star Trek endures for generations to come. Together, let's celebrate the spirit of exploration, innovation, and unity that defines the Star Trek universe.
Live long and prosper.
