Should Lucas have created a “Star Wars cinematic universe” in between the release of ROTS and the sale to Disney?

(Such a universe would include TCW and any other tv shows Lucas or Filoni felt like making)

I think he should have for the following reasons:

  1. So he could show what his ideas are for elements of the Star Wars universe hinted at but not shown in the movies (such as the history of the Jedi and Sith).

  2. To save the Expanded Universe by establishing a separate “cinematic universe” for Disney to continue at the same as the EU and show Disney that they can have two universes going at once just like Marvel. This would also prevent the issues with the EU that occured when TCW episodes first aired.

  3. To show Disney that a Sequel Trilogy isn’t neccessary for Star Wars to be financially successful, preventing the story from continuing beyond ROTJ unless that’s what Lucas wanted.
