If I was starting from 2012, I’d still introduce a new canon, but I’d also get some of the most well liked old EU authors to write revised editions of their novels that would be tweaked to fit in the new canon. Most importantly, I’d get Timothy Zahn to do a new edition of the Thrawn trilogy. Then, I’d produce a sequel trilogy, keeping the 30-year time gap but releasing the episodes 3 years apart rather than 2 years. After the sequel trilogy is wrapped up, I’d switch to doing anthology films every 2 years or so. Then, about 10 years after Episode IX’s release, I’d produce a film that would be the start of a new saga set in either the Old Republic era or in the far future.

My anthology films would be: a revised Rogue One that would be more of a spy movie, a lighthearted Lando heist movie, a Boba Fett vs. Din Djarin bounty hunting movie, and a small-scale Obi-Wan movie set on Tatooine.

If I took over now, I’d just introduce the idea of alternate timelines and discard the idea of a single, unified canon. Then I’d do a new trilogy that was set far enough in the future where it could be set in any timeline (like how Breath of the Wild fits in the Zelda timeline).
