Moving away from the whole ST debate, I think the bigger question is, whether Star Wars will be able to move beyond the Skywalker Saga? For over four decades Star Wars and the Skywalkers have been more or less synonymous in the movieverse.
it’s interesting because when i think of ‘Star Wars’ i think of the original, then of the star wars trilogy, and then of the complements of that story. what dom said above is something i think several of us think. the OT is Star Wars, as in that is Luke’s story, the main story. that’s what it was about. the PT is how the status quo of that story came to be and the ST is just a continuation. so in a way Star Wars actually ended in 1983 (or even 1977 to some) and the rest is complement. i don’t think it’s going to be hard to take the further step of focusing on different stories set in the same universe. i think it’s going to be something like what Fantastic Beasts was to Harry Potter.
In a way the entire franchise has been held hostage by the OT since 1983, and almost every piece of what is now considered canon is in the service of those films.
