This is a fun prompt. For around 2012 what I’d do is create a sequel trilogy with Lucas around as a story advisor, maybe use his treatments for the sequel trilogy. Obviously, he wouldn’t be the director, and if I had to choose one of the 3 directors from the sequel trilogy it’d likely be Johnson, but maybe we could get some other director to take a shot at those films, but I don’t know who I’d pick. However, there must be a consistent vision for what the trilogy is. No switching up the writers every film, and if we use more than one director, make sure they’re all on the same page for the type of films that are coming out. We don’t want what ended up happening with the Sequel Trilogy we got to happen, even though I love 2/3 of it.

Now if I was put in control this year I have more concrete plans. First I’d immediately contact Production I.G. and Kenji Kamiyama and ask if they’d like to expand their short The 9th Jedi into either an anime movie or a series. I’d also contact Geno Studio and Yuki Igarashi and order a Lop and Ocho series. Anything that’s been filmed almost ready to come out would come out, but everything else except for the Ahsoka, and High Republic shows would be canceled. While those shows are coming out put a hold on green lighting anything else and recenter the brand maybe have Start Wars Visions dictate what projects are next by greenlighting series for the most well-received shorts from Visions 1 and 2. Then I’d go and green light a show centered around the time of the sequel trilogy, maybe do what The Clone Wars did for the Prequels by fleshing out the conflict with the first order some more. Finally, I’d contact Rian Johnson, see if he’s still interested in that trilogy he was supposed to helm, and get him locked in for when he’s don’t with his Knives Out trilogy
