The people behind the live action remakes are different than the people behind Lucasfilm. One of the most common misconceptions from Disney Star Wars haters is the idea that Disney is a monolithic entertainment organization where every movie is produced by the same 5 people. In reality, Lucasfilm and Marvel are pretty separate from mainstream Disney.
Just to be clear, I said that as a direct response to you saying Disney wouldn’t do it because Disney isn’t lazy:
Why are Star Wars fans always so cynical? I don’t think Disney will make a 4th trilogy, they wouldn’t be that lazy.
