Disney should spend a few years re-evaluating.

Let the Star Wars Land, merchandising, video games, apps and animated series be the money makers while they re-set and give the general public a Star Wars break post IX.

Then, approach a few established, respected filmmakers about whether they would be interested in doing something in the Universe, take pitches, and take the best idea and run with it. Don't over do it. Only focus on ORIGINAL, NEW stories.

That would be the smartest approach LONG TERM.

But they probably won't since they have so much money invested.

They needed a Feige to play around with the Extended Universe.

Throwing it all away was a mistake. They needed someone to come in and retool it all into good, concise storylines. There's a lot of good stuff there with Jacen, Thrawn, etc.

That wont cut it

They had a built in audience that wanted so desperately to pass on their love of the Skywalker tale to their children. They took that and openly mocked these people

They fixed it to where there is no faith in the force anymore. Anyone can do anything with it. And you simply cannot bring back Han, Leia for sure, and Luke. But they better resurrect Luke for damn sure in Ep IX, because a Rey hero story is not turning this franchise around.
