I think it'd be easier, and better, to just jump ahead a hundred years or so to a jedi council run by Baby Yoda and go from there.

I think it’s only “easier” in the sense that the easy choices to make for a post-ST story are the types of decisions and priorities that LFL doesn’t want to make.
You *can* do something better with Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo… but only if they recognize that TLJ, the one film fo the three they actually prize and defend, is the exact opposite of what they need to do and how they need to think: that Finn’s more of the prize character among them, that Rey needs a rougher personality without any interest in Kylo/Ben, and that “Ben” needs to be treated as a monster like Jack the Ripper.
You *can* undo much of the harm done to Luke… but only if they recognize that he needs to have students who survived Ben, and probably have a few people posit that he was mentally manipulated by Palpatine to end up so pathetic.
You *can* reinvigorate that era… but only if you’re willing to admit that TLJ was bad, and every decision inside and around it was bad.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

In that case The Old Republic is a better setting than The High Republic.The thing is, when most franchises run out of steam...they go back to the beginning.
Star Trek ran out of steam...and went back to the beginning.
Dr Who ran out of steam....and went back to the beginning.
Aliens ran out of steam....and went back to the beginning.
Terminator ran out of steam...and went back to the beginning.
Indiana Jones ran out of steam....and is rumored to be going back to the beginning.
If Star Wars is running out of steam then there is a good chance they go back to the beginning. The Old Republic is as far back as you can get

"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
Aye, but most of them have low enough standards that a pretty white boy who’s sad would cover most of their desires, and they clearly don’t care that much about smart writing…
…so it’s not like they’d be driven away by giving Finn a good story, fixing Rey, or properly recontextualizing Kylo.
And there were clearly a lot more Rey and Finn fans who left the ST when those characters were screwed over than Reylo fans who would be driven away by having Kylo’s character clarified.
If someone likes a shitty fan fiction romance, then 9 times out of 10 they’re still going to like better stories to. Liking shit doesn’t mean they can’t stand quality. TFA made a 1/3rd more money than TLJ, and a larger percentage of TLJ’s audience stuck around for TROS.
We’re not talking gourmets. We’re talking fast food junkies.

So the topic of the sequel characters came up in a new interview with Kennedy.

Origin retcon, I can see how RTD coming back feeds into that.
But....The Old Republic is already established and beloved. It's not as if they would be springing it on people for the first time. We already know the story of Revan. It would just be an adaptation. With an established blueprint to work off of (Just choose the lightside ending and make him male like 90 percent of the people who played the game) it would be much easier than starting from scratch.Originally Posted by CosmiComic
Hopefully in favor of The Old Republic. Revan is a great character.Originally Posted by Frontier

Looks like it's been scrubbed from next year's schedule too. Curiously Jenkins left Cleopatra as well. Wonder what the issues are? I know she sometimes comes into conflict with studios, hence why I think she also lost directing Thor 2. She also does have a history of projects that never were made or were handed off to other directors.

An X-Wing story may actually be better served by longer form storytelling rather than a stand-alone film - both Stackpole and Allston (the superior X-Wing writer) made more of the magic occur with having the casts of characters develop over several stories, whether they were the heroes, villains, or supporting cast.
This always sounded like a stand-alone movie idea, and I don't know if that was a good concept for a Star Wars film. You want a concept that is blockbuster worthy, and if Solo and Rogue One proved anything, it’s that LFL may not know what type of story is epic enough (Rogue One) for that or not epic enough (Solo) for that .
