Nah, I think they only got two options. Go hundreds of years into the future or thousands of years into the past . This whole 50-60 year span all that clone wars and empire stuff took place should be done for. I wouldn’t even be upset if they go 5-10 years after 9 and introduced Thrawn in live action.
Well the second one is already happening with the High Republic (even tho Yoda is still in that)
But since they are doing this in between 6 and 7 shyt they might as well do the best they can with it, just my opinion
