    The galaxy and timeline is so huge you don’t need to do that. Just steer clear of the time and place of the sequels and tell stories about other times and places.

      Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 also did really well by completely sidestepping any movie material and going way back in the past. A movie with a HK-47 like droid would immediately have a super memorable character.

      I don’t see why disney doesn’t just fast forward 100-200 years into the future, leaving plenty of space for a new expanded universe to be written in. I guess their creativity bankruptcy is just that big.

      Yeah there’s a ton of material they can use from the Old Republic and still have zoom zoom light saber Jedi battles or whatever.
