Many productions in the SW universe had to live up to the movies and many have. Decades ago a single trilogy was good enough to kick off a whole Star Wars novel market and get one of its mentioned planets, Coruscant, officially adopted by George Lucas. Books like the Thrawn oder Bane trilogies would have been great material for films and much better than anything Disney put out so far. Knights of the Old Republic set the bar for how to retell A New Hope and makes The Force Awakens look like a sloppy parody. That kind of material would still not even out the hype, but seriously, Disney should really put some people who actually know and care about Star Wars in important positions, people who correctly see it as a red flag when a movie director isn't only tasked with making a sequel before the predecessor is completed, but also discards the previous director's story concept.
