Agreed. From a corporate standpoint they'd have to know that an OR trilogy would bring in a huge amount of revenue like the saga films first. So hopefully they test the interest with mentions in 8 & 9 and/or other content in the next few yearsTwo issues that I'm just speculating on:
I think all this is possible. The guys in charge of the story group and down to Filioni seem to be fans of most some of the non-cannon material.
That said I don't know if Kennedy and Iger would ever put $ behind any of this stuff relative to a theatrical release.
