What's the end of our great heroes look like? Say you had to produce the movie in which they're set out to pasture - how'd you do it?

It is 2493 and we're on the eve of the 25th Century...
AMBASSADOR SPOCK: For several years, believed to have died during a red-matter detonation near the Hobus supernova. Evidence later provided by the Romulan Prateor on the eve of their Empire joining the Federation, suggested that he may have survived. But somehow stranded in another universe.
JEAN-LUC PICARD: Admiral. Eventually succeeded as Captain of the Enterprise-E. Teaches history and archeology at Starfleet Academy. Sent along with the Enterprise-E on a vital mission to the new Romulan Homeword, to negotiate with dissidents holding survivors from the late starship Titan. Successfully defended in a manufactured trial to discredit and bring down the Federation itself.
BEVERLY CRUSHER: High ranking position at Starfleet Medical. Picard's loving partner. She never remarried. She lives with Picard near Starfleet Campus in San Francisco.
WILLIAM T. RIKER: Formerly Captain of the Titan. Became acting Captain of the Enterprise-E, during the 2493 Romulan incident, once he and surviving members of her crew were released as hostages.
DEANNA TROI: Career paths caused the marriage some strain. She took an assignment as Betazoid Ambassador to Earth, following her Mother's passing. Manages to join U.S.S. Enterprise-E during her mission into Romulan space, in hopes of finding out what has become of Will Riker and her former collegues on the Titan.
DATA: Still B-4 but more evolved now and no longer Special Needs. Joined Starfleet Academy and completed training faster than anyone in its history. Decided to stay and train future Cadets himself. Often seen alongside with Picard, moulding the future officers of Starfleet. Excelerated his aging program and went with grey hair and unnaturally blue coloured eyes. Sometimes nicknamed "The Professor" by those unfortunate enough to find themselves in his class.
GEORDI LaFORGE: Captain of the Galaxy Glass U.S.S. Challenger. Currently in the Gamma Quadrant, protecting other Starfleet scientific vessels while they provide aid in the aftermath of a disaster affecting former Dominion races.
WORF: A Governor within a Klingon Empire. Lots of political influence and tipped to be Chancellor someday.
MILES O'BRIEN: Teaches at Starfleet Academy. Got seconded to the Enterprise-E, when Admiral Picard wanted an experienced Engineer running her. He apparently convinced him to come along using that line about their mutal interest in "building model ships".
GENERAL KIRA: Still running Deep Space 9. Her voice heard when the Enterprise-E arrives.
QUARK: Still running the bar. When O'Brien visited during a recent mission, he helped provide valuable information that went onto prevent a war.
TUVOK: Seconded to be the Enterprise-E's Security officer and instrumental in her mission to make peace with the Romulans.
THE DOCTOR: EMH was visiting with Tuvok when he was also drafted by Admiral Picard.
JONATHAN ARCHER: Later became an Ambassador to Andoria and Federation President. Instrumental in ending the Earth-Romulan War and founding the Federation. A revered and honoured man, until some evidence surfaced in 2493 and which was at the heart of a trial, manufactured by Romulan dissidents to sway the opinion of the New Senate, from incorporating peacefully into the Federation.
SHRAN: Revealed to be still alive in the late 24th Century. Residing in the Gamma Quadrant. Briefly served onboard the NX-01, as the first participant in a coalition exchange program. Was assumed to have died during the Romulan War of 2156-2160. Provides essential testimony that causes a trial to collapse, defending the Federation's reputation and humanity's motives in her founding.
Probably nothing to do with this film idea... just my fantasy opening for the 5th season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
CHARLES TUCKER III: Dead by 2493 clearly. But not as seen in holodeck recreation from "These are the Voyages, Part I".
Season 5 of Enterprise opened with the shock revelation the TNG era scenes had not even been set in the Prime Universe. Particularly evident in that depiction of a Coalition being founded in 2161, no indication that the Earth-Romulan War had occured in this timeline at all, plus outside the holodeck - subtle differences in the NCC 1701-D and her crew, which became much more pronouced in Part II. This episode also revealed Future Guy's motivation and identity, from the future of this "alternate Pegasus" timeline - who goes on to meddle with our history of the 22nd Century, providing stealth technology to the Suliban and eventually trying to do the same with his own people in the past - until Archer stopped him.
