Why stop at 10 films about the 1977 story when you can have 11? I’ll give the mess that was Solo a pass because it was only thinly connected. I’m speechless at how they absolutely will not move off of 1977\Skywalker\The Saga (genuflect). My prediction - because the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior - we’ll spend time on Tatooine and Coruscant and name-check Vader, Luke, Han, Leia, Ben, Chewie, Yoda et al. They will stretch the 1977 story to ridiculous limits and continue shrinking the franchise down to A Long Time Ago In A Solar System Far Far Away.

Even more insulting, everyone employed by Lucasfilm will continue to tell us that no one is interested in that 1977 film. Why bother restoring and releasing? - we’ve moved on. I found Favreau’s recent comments very disappointing.
