Even if the Starman stuff was never touched on, Thom and Umbra should've had a connection that appeared 'onscreen' after this experience. The Amazers should've shared that to a much smaller degree.
Neither were ever referenced again, unfortunately. Letting relationships like these drop is partly why that era of LSH history eventually fell by the wayside. Perhaps that pertains to comics in general, as well.
Be kinda glad it was dropped for the reboot thom...remember it was his destiny to die as Starman... perhaps Dreamer was dreaming of "this Thom's" funeral instead of her thom.

I wonder if we'll ever know what Dreamer's vision was about...
I don't remember Postboot Star Boy and Umbra interacting at all in the Legion comics anymore around that time. It would have been nice to see some of that.

In Legion #1, Dream Girl did say something about the possibility of changing the future that she has foreseen, so maybe that's what's happened in Thom's case.

I've been trying to think of instances where Dream Girl actually managed to change the future since I read that. I haven't really come up with any. I'm sure there are, though.
There are more accounts of her misinterpreting things she foresaw, which is kind of weird. (Like in her introductory issue). I guess Hazy Girl's just not as good a name.

The panel where she hugs Jack and says, "Thom, if you tell any of the Legionnaires I was ever this nice to someone, I swear I'll kill you!" is one of my favorite panels of all time.
Never saw her knowing Jack's record as plausible though. UMBRA of all people, seriously?

It had to be about "Danny Blaine"'s origin, surely.

Did they EVER interact in the Legion titles, beyond maybe Tasmia rolling her eyes at Thom'n'Nura?
