Maybe they can finally make 'Spocktre of the Gun'. :p

Sybok is one of the (admittedly few) reasons that I can't call TFF a flat-out bad movie. To me, it's a so-so movie with some good (or at least, interesting) elements in it.
 
That statement is incorrect, regardless of punctuation. There have been shown to be at least three Sareks in various timelines.

In terms of actors, the role has been played by Mark Lenard, James Frain, Jonathan SImpson, and Ben Cross, none of whom, unsuprisingly, are actually Sarek.

Interestingly, Sarek's grandfather is Solkar, the Vulcan who first made official contact with humans and listened to Oobie Doobie with Cochrane.

Mark Lenard is the TOS Sarek, Jonathan Simpson played him as a younger version in TFF and he was the spit of him with Lenard doing the voice! Ben Cross was the Kelvin edition and as we know that is another reality or universe! Frain is Sarek in yet another timeline yet again but not TOS! That position has been filled since 1967/68!

Are you saying if an actor dies/retires they should never recast the character?

That’s dumb.
 
What of Saavik? Did that sprout a new timeline?
Saavik beamed aboard Grissom in the midst of some science experiment that somehow resulted in everyone aboard getting their appearance changed. David Marcus beamed aboard five minutes later and was spared a transformation.

Let it be canon from here on out.
 
Why the hell do you need an onscreen explanation as to why a part is recast if an actor dies? That has nothing to do with what's going on in the universe of the show.

If it is another production, nothing to do with the original, then it is okay to recast the part! but I stand by what I wrote, if the actor is unavailable then they should opt for a new character, unless there is a mighty good reason for the new look! Transmogrification or regeneration or even rejuvenation! :hugegrin:
