Can we get a much lower budget episodes 10 to 12 set 100 years in the future directed by Rian Johnson, with story ideas about the Force being front and center? The goal would be to explore the meat of the concepts we’ve been shown and about building the Jedi back up without there being a ‘holy crap bad guy uberthreat.’ Small scale, spiritual stakes on a personal level. Could be made soonish, with the ST characters all having died by that point, but could be referenced or perhaps shown in flashbacks. Luke and other Jedi could always pop in as ghosts, but this would have to be done soonish for much of that.

This is what VII-IX should have been minus being set 100 years in the future. Instead of having the bad guys be a threat to the galaxy, have them be a treat to the characters

Actually, coming to think of it, if you remove the whole Rebels vs Empire aspect of the sequel trilogy, it makes for a much better story… Of course there’s no way you could edit Stormtroopers out of the movies, but from a scriptwriting standpoint it would be so easy to have it just be Snoke and his guys vs. the protagonists who are part of some renamed Resistance (not an Army of the New Republic, since the Rebels “learned the lesson” of having a standing army)
