Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

The Universe is a big fucking place. They could have entire sectors where the Jedi are literally Walker, Texas Ranger. Or Batman with psychic powers. heh

I would point out that 'Focus on other time periods' does not equal 'Retconning the sequels out of existence'.

You could have Star Wars focus on more post-Original territory (like Mando), midquel territory (like Solo, Obi-Wan, or Andor), pre-prequel territory (like KOTOR, the High Republic, or Acolyte), or post-sequel territory (the planned? still planned? Rey sequels) with a new* batch of characters without reusing the sequel characters / storylines.

*Obviously, the emphasis is on new characters - no one wants more Acolyte.

The Rey movie does have Shawn Levy's indirect backing. It's not going to be easily cancelled since Levy's collaborator is writing it.

It's possible Disney new CEO and Filoni becoming chief creative affects the Rey movie, despite the writer being competent. Iger is under contract to oversee the CEO until 2027.

I would say if Starfighter does gangbusters (which for Disney Star Wars since the hiatus just means doesn't lose money) then Disney will be more favorable to authorizing the Rey budget-- since it'd be done by some of the same people working on Starfighter. If Starfighter does Solo numbers, then it's less likely.
