Star Trek: The Legacy of Jack Crusher - A Festive Spinoff Dream

Ed Speleers, who played Jack Crusher in Star Trek: Picard, has expressed his excitement for a possible spinoff, comparing it to "a massive dinner party". Fans and actors have shown great enthusiasm for the idea of Star Trek: Legacy, wanting to see the story of Picard's 25th century continue. The conclusion of Star Trek: Picard season 3 hinted at a potential spinoff focusing on Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and the USS Enterprise-G crew. Although Star Trek: Legacy is still just a possibility, fans are eager to hear what the stars think about a spinoff featuring Picard.

At a panel discussion during Star Trek: The Cruise, Ed Speleers discussed the potential spinoff alongside other cast members of Star Trek: Picard. When asked about Star Trek: Legacy, both John de Lancie and Ed Speleers shared their thoughts on the potential spinoff. Check out their comments below:

John de Lancie: I really have no clue. I'm usually the last person to find out about these things. Honestly, I don't even think about it. To me, it's like worrying about getting invited to someone's dinner party. You can't waste your time fretting over stuff like that.

Ed Speleers: Even though we talked about dinner parties, I truly hope we have a huge dinner party in store for us.

Ed Speleers' Star Trek Future Depends On Picard Legacy Spinoff

Dr. Beverly Crusher, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard and Jack Crusher on the Enterprise-D - Ed Speleers' Star Trek Future Depends On Picard Legacy Spinoff

Ed Speleers' Jack Crusher is a vital character for the future of Star Trek. However, there is currently no opportunity for him to appear in any of the existing Star Trek TV shows. Star Trek: Discovery is set in the distant future of Starfleet, long after Jack Crusher's time, and the same goes for the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series.

For now, Star Trek: Legacy is the only platform where Jack Crusher's story can be further explored.

Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy both happen before Star Trek: Picard, so Beverly and Jack would still be in hiding. Star Trek: Legacy is the only place to see what happens next to Jack Crusher if the new spinoff doesn't happen. It would be a shame if Jack's story just faded away in books and comics, especially since Ed Speleers wants to keep playing the role.

Fans are really behind the idea of Star Trek: Legacy, but Paramount has to think about the money side of things. There's still hope that Ed Speleers will get his wish for a big reunion with John De Lancie as Q and other characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Even though there's a small chance of a movie, Star Trek: Legacy seems like the best way to keep following the adventures of Jack Crusher and the USS Enterprise-G crew from Star Trek: Picard.
