If Rogue One was so good, why drop Anthology films because of Solo?

Rogue One and the Mandalorian are clearly the best of Star Wars under Lucasfilm. I think Kennedy agrees with that. Which is why to me it looks like the examples set by those products are informing so much of their current and future plans. Rogue One spinoff TV show, a Mando show with the exact same aesthetic as Rogue One (including the same DPs and lead artists), an Obi-wan show led by a Mando Director, a new film led by a Mando Director (Waititi), etc. The anthology mindset is a lot more deeply ingrained in Lucasfilm than is popularly understood. I think that has to do with Kennedy’s attraction to these stories that exist on the edges of the more purely pop mythic saga stories. This syncretic style is both still deeply and spiritually Star Wars, while also meeting modern expectations of realism. I fully expect almost all future Star Wars to look and feel a lot like Rogue One and Mando. Even if the stories are wildly different.

True. Some mythic stories would be very fun to explore, however. For example: Palpaltine's origins?

That’s a Movie and/or series I would be interested.
