I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.
They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.
I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.

I’m just hoping that this doesnt mean SNW will be cancelled like some of the other shows
… how do you have hope for stuff like this at this point.

These mergers can take a long time to complete, so we’re probably safe for a while.
I wouldn’t count on any serious going longer than five seasons under the old ownership, anyway…

Yeah I guess they took TOS’s “five year mission” statement a little too literally

I don’t hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but… Could be worse.

Just what we needed, more fucking mergers. 
What happens when all the dinosaurs have mated?
Chicken’s done?
Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.
I hope he’s a Trekkie.
They produced Into Darkness and Beyond, so they at least have some history with the franchise.
I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t
If your concerns are on the creative side of things, I don’t think that’s really what they do - their expertise seems to be getting things made.
oh no!
oh yes!
I’m not sure what to think there.
