I believe Jules was an engineer at a theme park and Vincent was a Sweathog.We know more about Butch's watch than we do about Jules and Vincent. And that's a good thing.
heck.. they ought to teach people bout that movie.. in film school.
I preferred the Prime timeline.

Ugh, I can already hear the forced dialogue, "So, Seven, how have you been since marrying Ensign Kim, taking that honorific position at Hoity Toity Institute of Pomposity, living in Mozambique and winning the Daystrom-Cochrane Prize for crapity-crap crap?"
part of a 20 volume paperback series, Rise of the Wallace Crime Syndicate, published by Bocket Pooks
You're hired!
Seven will be different in PICARD. More human. It's definitely weird because if the characters on VOYAGER didn't change from their first appearance to their series finale, why have they changed now? Surely Tom Paris is still running gambling operations in holodecks and Ensign Kim continues to pine after Libby. (Haha!)
But seriously: a screenwriter could cover Seven's character journey in a few lines of dialogue:
SEVEN: "What're you doing out here, Jean-Luc? Saving the galaxy?"
PICARD: (languidly) "I recently saved a crop of viognier, my dear Ms. Hansen. I like to think each drop a galaxy unto itself."
He pours Seven a glass.
SEVEN: "Y'know, you're the only one who ever calls me that. Hansen."
PICARD: "Humanity was your stolen birthright, Annika. And you worked long and hard to rebuild what you lost, a path we've both walked separately."
SEVEN: "Not that separately. Not always."
Seven looks at Picard with warmth and fondness and appreciation like a loving daughter to her father.
SEVEN: "The years you spent with me -- helping me find my way -- they were everything."
PICARD: "It was nothing. The labour was yours. Now, Annika Hansen, what brings you here?"

Or perhaps Seven and Picard will have a lengthy arc with periodic flashbacks to earlier adventures.
- One episode has a flashback with Seven relentlessly stalking Picard, Picard unsure why, until Seven explains that he was once Borg and freed himself and regained his humanity and Seven wants to do the same.
- A subsequent episode flashback shows Seven and Picard as almost daughter/father and on a mission where Picard instructs Seven to let him die and save civillians instead, and Seven complies, has an emotional moment and in seeking to at least recover Picard's body, discovers he stayed alive long enough to save him too.
- Another flashback has Seven navigating sexuality and dating with more humanity now. Picard is at a loss, realizes that he no longer has anything to teach Seven and gets Troi to handle it.
- A flashback where Seven accuses Picard of using her as a substitute for Data and Picard, hurt and unsure, sends Seven off on solo adventures to come into her own.
You've seriously missed your calling.....
No, Jules was always a criminal. He tried to rob a McDowell's one time.
One could even imagine Tarantino doing an entirely episodic TOS movie.....where we finally find out basically nothing about Sulu, Uhura, Chekov and Nurse Chapel.
To be fair, how do we know that Romulus did not also blow up in the Kelvin timeline in 2387? If the supernova was indeed a natural event (not caused be some type of shenanigans), it might have blow up also in the Kelvin timeline.
Just saying...
Spock would have told them that they had a century to move.
Or he could have created a smaller ecological problem that would have forced them to move that could not be tracked back to the Federation.

Everyone looks wrong because even though the same families were pushed into boning each other and using the same names, but the wrong sperms were hitting the wrong eggs, creating the wrong birthdays and the people had the wrong faces.
Kirk was born on the Kelvin sure, but middle age Kelvin Kirk still had to time travel a little, which would have jiggled time previous to his birth just enough to skew everything.

Oh, thank you for your comment and concern, but not to worry. From 2015 - 2016, I wrote an overwrought, overlong fanfic in screenplay format for my favourite TV show and the scripts featured hyperdetailed pastiches of the actors' line deliveries, body language and idiosyncratic performances. I completed my life's ambition and can absolutely die happy. Rest assured my calling was heard, met and fulfilled.
Now, that's an interesting point. Can a new owner have total ability to declare something non-canon? I would declare Kelvin-verse non-canon, in a second, but it's an official production.
When Disney bought Star Wars, they declared the Expanded Universe to be non-canon, which made those novels fan fiction. But I don't know if even Disney can declare A New Hope non-canon.
Sure, because “canon” has no legal meaning. It’s just a concept used to maintain a level of consistency in a body of work. The only caveat is whether they have the rights to explicitly refer to particular events in past instalments.
If they have the rights to refer to events from the TNG films (and I assume they do, as there is reference to Data’s sacrifice), the first episode of Picard can state that everything we saw in the last three TNG films was a product of Picard’s Nexus dream. Henceforth, official canon would exclude those three films.
That doesn’t mean fans would accept it, of course, since such declarations are not binding on anyone - they just act as a guide to writers of current incarnations.
This stuff isn't some Holy Writ the Pontifex Roddenberrius Maximus I, Blessed be his Name, once propounded and his sacerdotal heirs hold and protect in his name.
