Don't get me wrong, I prefer the Clone Wars series to the PT in most respects but I meant it would "look cheap" as a move as opposed to looking cheap aesthetically.

I agree with this.

It just wouldn't fit to make actual "numbered" (as in I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX) Star Wars feature films be animated. It goes against all the other films live action (though you can make an argument against that with the PT, there were still real people and sets in them).

Assuming the next few films after IX are no longer numbered (and therefore not a part of the "original saga" as in, films with Skywalkers, films that pertain to the events and characters of the OT directly), I see no problem with some CGI films on par with the trailers for The Old Republic (as long as they can nail story as well as they nail action) or The Clone Wars, in fact, I'd love to see more stuff like that, because that means we can go back and see stories set during the OT and include the OT actors (as voices or at least their younger likenesses); Splinter of the Mind's Eye or Shadows of the Empire to name a few (lame) examples of what we could see. And with video games like The Force Unleashed and 1313 pushing the boundaries of what people are doing with CGI in cutscenes and cinematics, it's an exciting prospect.

However, if they keep up with the numbering convention (which seems unlikely to me and a dumb thing to do, because what if they go back to the Old Republic? Episode -I? Or if they go on into the hundreds and thousands, it'll be like the super bowl, Episode MMXCI? Please.), that doesn't stop them from putting out plenty of offshoots and sidemovies in whatever format they choose.
