Star Trek: Picard picks up at the tail end of the 24th Century with Jean-Luc Picard coming out of retirement for one last mission. But that begs the question: why did he leave Starfleet in the first place? We caught up with series star Sir Patrick Stewart and Star Trek Executive Producer and asked why Picard quit, and the answer holds a strong connection to JJ Abrams' 2009 Star Trek film.
