Does that semi-futuristic desert garb look kinda familiar to you? It did to these folks, too.
@startrekcbs @SonequaMG I think you may have made a mistake. They look like they are from another "Star" franchise.May 17, 2017
@startrekcbs @SonequaMG Is that the scene where they find BB-8?May 17, 2017
@startrekcbs @SonequaMG These are her first steps...May 17, 2017

Meanwhile, some lines of speculation have already begun...
@fmarcanojr @startrekcbs @SonequaMG Unless she starts as an officer on the Shenzhou and transfers to the Discovery in the first episode🤔May 17, 2017
@tsarbrian @startrekcbs @SonequaMG That would actually be cool. Sybok had huge potential as a character.May 17, 2017

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
