See the reaction to Luke Skywalker in Last Jedi. Especially when the producers haven’t done universally positive changes or demonstrated a strong grasp of the lore or continuity.(And Luke only had thee hours of on-screen character development compared to the fifty or sixty hours Picard had.) I can’t even imagine what story they’ll be telling. It will have to be set twenty years after Nemisis and far beyond what we have seen in the series. That alone will require big world-building, being a very different period. But neither can it be overly action packed with a star pushing eighty.Would Picard be a captain? An admiral? Retired and working in the vineyard? At 25 years after TNG, it would be really close to the age Picard was presented in All Good Things. Is it just a story of old man Picard living in rural France?Maybe a dying or ill Picard is telling his life to a biographer (while he remembers) with half the action being flashbacks to his time on the Stargazer or earlier ships...</blockquote>
