The franchise does indeed contain a lot of the best science fiction to have appeared on a screen, and the movies have largely kept their distance from the thought-provoking concepts which built the fanbase.
Personally, I think a DS9 "prequel" dealing exclusively with the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor could have the same emotional and intellectual weight Star Trek as a whole has brought to the table, while still leaving room for things blowing up splendidly. Of course, if it happened nowadays it'd probably be considered a rip-off of the Hunger Games or Rogue One, rather than being accepted as depicting something that had been fleshed out in morbid detail back in the 90's.
