I feel like Lucasfilm could very successfully emulate how Warner Brothers approaches their continuity with their DC Comics properties. You have your main DCEU, but you also have alternate takes of character that wouldn't fit into that universe such as Joker & the Batman, and you have the direct to DVD movies, the CW shows, and miscellaneous slseries like Harley Quinn or Young Justice that belong in their own respective continuities. I think this shows us that you can have alternate versions and not have it compete or detract with what's considered the main canon.It's not as ideal a situation as what the MCU has with their movies and shows all fitting into one timeline, but Star Wars under Disney hasn't experienced MCU levels of creative success. Maybe it would benefit Lucasfilm to experiment in more niche mediums like comics and novels.
