Star Trek has appeared on CBS All Access, delivering us

Star Trek has always kind of been a workplace drama about people who are really into their work.

In 2023, Patty Jenkins will deliver (pending future ramifications of the world in which we live)
Rogue Squadron, the next major theatrical release in the
Star Wars saga: a tale of the bravest squadron of pilots in the galaxy far, far away.
