Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

So, now that we have a release date and confirmation of a S2 renewal, when do we get an official Strange New Worlds forum in the Paramount+ section?... and more importantly: A TRAILER??
They won't do a Trailer until its closer to the release date. Right now, the marketing advertising focus will be on Prodigy and ST: D - and then shift to Picard S2 - and THEN well start getting ST: SNW trailers, etc.

Paramount+ is very careful to focus promotion on what's currently being released to stream. That's been the pattern, and I doubt they'll break from it.
 
Since the end of October, the running assumption has been that Obi-Wan -- the most hyped and anticipated show in streaming history -- is aiming for a May 4th release. Of course, a lot has happened since then and a lot can happen until May, so it's very possible Disney calls an audible. Nonetheless, it's where all the safe money is still at. That means, the day after, it's where ALL the media attention is going to be focused. Not to mention, by all accounts, they've stepped up production on all fronts, meaning it's going to be a huge spectacle beyond the previous shows.

So right out of the gate they're setting SNW to be a comparatively quaint also-ran.
 
The word that the Hasbro Black Series Darth Vader helmet based on Kenobi is supposed to be released in or around June does lead me to believe that Kenobi will premiere sooner than we originally thought. It could be up and running by Summer.
 
Our first blurry look at a Jefferies tube?

They'll probably release a trailer on First Contact Day IMO, it's almost exactly a month before the show airs as well.
 
Actress Christina Chong posted a picture on Twitter that shows the new Jeffries Tube, which looks damn near close to the original.

EDIT: Oops see I'm a little late to the party with this.
 
This bodes well for SNW's new set designs, bringing a more TOS-centric style to the visuals. I'm now more intrigued than ever what Enterprise's exterior looks like if they're going this far to replicate the original's interior.

Yeah, I'm excited to see the TOS aesthetic with a modern TV budget. Not necessarily an exact replica, but something that evokes it. Much like how I felt the Kelvin movies did a good job evoking Matt Jeffries.
