Not like this. Starro's major trait was it's sheer... alien-ness. It showed up, it took people over with face-star's and rarely bothered to explain it's actions because it never really had to, it was part invasion, part infestation.

Now they're giving him a mouth, an explanation, a human(oid) form, and other things which haven't been required for the past nearly 50 years.

It's like introducing the Borg Queen, which flowed counter to every concept of the Borg we'd seen (They were a true collective, a true collective does not have an over-ruling voice), but was used to make them more of a comprehensible villain, but at the same time giving them an Achilles heel for the good guys.

I have no issue with revamping a character, but make the revamp worth the effort. I'm not sure this is, though I'm sure we'll get a bit where the Starro separates itself, no longer needing the human host, or somesuch.
