News Brent Spiner Returned for "Picard" (and you could do the CGI better in 15 minutes, we get it)

I’m pretty sure Data is long gone and never rebuilt. The one we see is really part of a holodeck recreation that Picard runs because he misses him so much. That’s why he says that he wishes the game wouldn’t end, because when it does Data goes back to being dead and Picard isn’t able to pretend for a brief moment that he’s still there.
While I know Data can't be easily rebuilt because of dramatic weight reasons, I find it very hard to see how in the 23rd century Pike and his friends can easily replicate an extremely advanced exoskeletal spacesuit, yet they can't even replicate Data in the 24th. Dr. Soong surely would have left blueprints on how to replicate his physical components and how to back up his mental components.

If Soong had left any instructions/blueprints for anybody to find, then there wouldn't have been any reason for Maddox & Star Fleet to have wanted to disassemble Data in "The Measure of a Man".
So that's highly unlikely.

It was a recurring element of the show that there wasn’t one. Even Data couldn’t successfully make another android given his daughter’s positronic brain began to fail. Data was unique and unreproducible.
 
Data doesn’t need to e rebuilt, necessarily. Taking into account that Spiner said the disassembled android in the trailer is b4, it could be something like Data’s memory core being downloaded into a holoprojector, so that his hologram is switched on when Picard wants to talk to him. (Almost like a ST version of Yoda’s ghost?)

Since we know the story starts in France and Picard goes back into space, maybe that last scene of the trailer is him leaving the Data-gram behind or something.

Chekhov's gun, you don't show "Data's" body (or B4, or Lore, or whoever body's it was) and then show that thing talking at end of trailer and have it be something else entirely. Whoever body's it was in the beginning of trailer, that's the same "person" talking to Picard at end of the trailer.

Spiner said it was B4's body. It also matches the prop they used for Nemesis.
 
I'm really curious how they'll bring Data back after watching the Picard trailer several times.
