One of Star TrekThe biggest fan conventions, Creation Entertainment’s 56th Anniversary Las Vegas Mission is in full swing now, and while that’s not all, stars from various Star Trek The series has been celebrating an incredible franchise for several days now. Special guests have teased some of what’s coming to the current airing shows and hinted ahead of Star Trek Day next month, when actors and creatives are expected to announce upcoming release dates and announce next year’s content.
The event was attended by over 100 celebrities, including Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, as well as Celia Rose Gooding for the newly launched prequel series Strange new worldsstars of the original series William Shatner, George Takeias well as Walter Koenigas well as Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jonesas well as Tig Notaro from Star Trek: Discovery.

Next to her TNG film partners, Denise Crosby is present. Crosby played Chief of Security Tasha Yar in the first season of the ’80s reboot series. The character was suddenly killed by the villain Armus in the Season 1 episode “Skin of Evil”. The actress made several appearances in later seasons as Sela, the offspring of Tasha Yar from an alternate timeline who grew up to become a Romulan commander. During the convention, Crosby told fans Picard Season 3: “You will see Tasha Yar, but I won’t tell you how,” wrote a Twitter user. TXTrek who is present at the event.
While it’s tempting to assume the season is very bad - who’s the executive producer Alex Kurtzman confirmed female at SDCC last month - could be Sela, showrunner Terry Matalas also confirmed that Season 3’s villain is a brand new character. Matalas said that there is a hint of Tasha in the final season, and with Crosby’s comments, it will be interesting to see the beloved character return to the game. Many fans consider Tasha’s death a huge mistake since the early days of existence. TNG so hopefully any homage to the character will offer some sort of solution for those who were sad to see her go.
