See if they can build something new with the awesome universe that doesn't lean on nostalgia.
I don't have much interest in a film about the pilots. I think that projected was scrapped though?

I would agree that a film series without previous characters would be preferrable. I found the Mandalorian a superior series to Boba Fett for that reason. The fact that Boba Fett was a previous character (even if a minor one) actually makes the series drag more. I'm not all that interested in what happens to Jabba's empty palace.
I liked how they used the existing Star Wars species in the Mandalorian, and the Luke cameo was pretty great, but overall the story was pretty detached from the previous movie characters.
A movie in the future could work too. It could be crap if it falls into the same traps as the sequel trilogy though. Having stories based around bigger and better jedi powers or rebuilding a bigger and better Jedi body/Empire is going to lead down the same road where the sequel trilogy failed.
