I think the issue with the Intro movie always playing when we land on Romulus and not being able to get staging area mission is due to it now being forced in the Episodes list. Plus if you leveled up, you can't even go there and earn marks until you get to the episodes. And AOY and DR can't even use skip to get those when the level allows.

You may do this by: J->Episodes->New Romulus (accept all you can by order to have those open/"active"; skip/do the missions by order to get to the next ones)
Unsure I correctly understood the details in that advice, and unsure it help as I had no such issue myself, but if you have the issue already, you may try if you like and report back please if you tried so we can learn more
P.S.
You might have to actually do the 1st non replayable one. Talk to NPC if you need. Also, if you can't get the first mission on this line on level 50 by J->Episodes->New Romulus, then I'm probably unable to help though (Can you somehow be sent to New Romulus from ESD/DS9/Q'onos? I have no idea. Are there any specific quests/line requirements? -My AoY's finished all those tasks in NR without yet finishing multiple low level ARCs, though.)
We aren't directed to speak to the Romulan on ESD in Quinn's office. Speak to her to pick up the Romulan Aid mission then go to New Romulus. It let's you go through the arc.
BTW, this solution was credited (initially) to strathkin as far as I know, now I know this solves the issue you described as well.
Sorry for not mentioning it well as I forgot the details strathkin gave, and was not sure it was applicable to what you described. But once solution is found, and as his solution was mentioned in my post briefly, I give the credit for strathkin (beside for you for finding it off course) as I recall he contributed this solution before
And now because of your post with the accurate problem/solution found, we will be able to help those who ask in channels or here etc in that regard (I know it's important to give credit in such case, if one remembers to whom at least, as possible/relevant/applicable/reasonable)
