Now that I’m thinking about a 2012 start, I’d make the ST take place 100 years after ROTJ. The big three of the OT can appear in flashbacks/ghost form for Luke, but Chewie/R2/3PO would be the only living returning characters. Setting a story 100 years later would give enough room to not feel like it messes too much with the OT. The Legends EU could remain largely untouched, aside from some obvious deletions (the Vong, Abeloth, The Force Unleashed series, etc.).

Another 2012 start element would be (aside from the theatrical cut restorations) to port as many of the classic Lucasarts Star Wars games to modern systems/PC - beyond what’s on Steam/GOG or Xbox backwards compatibility. Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike would be the biggest priority, even if they get limited to just the Switch (IDK how Nintendo’s exclusivity policy works). There’d obviously be no EA exclusivity deal, because EA is just terrible. Petroglyph would be making Empire at War II or maybe even Republic at War.

A new series of special editions, presented as additions to the theatrical cuts/earlier SE’s (like Blade Runner), would also appear. They’d mostly just clean up the OT to better-implement changes George wanted (Anakin ghost, Emperor conversation, Boba voice, etc.), remove overzealous stuff (Rontos, Greedo shooting, Sarlacc beak, etc.), and restore some useful stuff (Tagge calling Vader a sith, Leia saying “ok hotshot,” etc.). PT changes would simply be smoothing over some rough FX and restoring deleted scenes. Maybe the alleged four-hour ROTS would debut as a Disney+ promotion?
