What Disney need to do is just claim that the “end” of the Skywalker saga is part of Legends, recast Luke, Leia, and Han and give us something that resembles Heir to the Empire, or create something entirely original, so that we have an actual sequel to the OT.
This will never happen.
What they have the opportunity to do is skip over this part of the timeline completely and jump into the future with an adult Grogu. If they don’t they’re idiots. Wait, shit…
That’s honestly what they should have done from the start. They’d already erased all the EU, so they could have gone 500 years in the “future”, and made something entirely original.
But, like you’ve noted…these are the same people who greenlit a film with the exact storyline of ANH.
