They need to figure out how to avoid the problems that drive the cost of these films up as what happened with Solo. The Star Wars sequel that never was, Splinter Of The Mind’s Eye was conceived as being a modestly budgeted film that would take advantage of props and costumes left over from the first film. There’s probably a few warehouses full of stuff from the current films now.
A lean, mean, lower budgeted SW story film has a better chance at cleaning up at the box office.

Lean and mean budget-wise for sure. Wouldn’t hurt to go that way story-wise while they’re at it. Star Wars77, Rogue One and Solo were fairly focused in their stories, with one main arc. TFA and TLJ were very busy with multiple stories. Last Jedi was particularly busy. Give a story room to breathe.
