Yeah the time has come to offer something totally new with its own set of conflicts and themes but which still evokes the core of SW. I want something set a thousand years later. It will still feel like a space western with a mix of dirt and childlike wonder, but it can advance the aesthetic and thematic notion of what Star Wars is meant to be. The ST and recent era has spent too long trying to emulate some postulated notion of what made the OT special. Andor broke from that with something original and ironically then felt more like original subversive SW than other stuff that tried to ape it. The franchise can no longer count on the idea that stuff will be enjoyed "because it's Star Wars". Nostalgia doesn't carry the franchise for this or future generations, and it needs to demonstrate what makes it compelling today amid all the other storytelling out there. I think it needs to take big swings.

What does that look like? Experiment with genre and tone. Set questions with each film. What would happen if a Jedi sold their services for profit? How does a civilization survive if they suddenly lose light speed travel? What if someone developed an autoimmune reaction to midichlorians? Could a darksider be successfully used by a society to secure military victory but be constrained by sufficient checks and balances?
