I know I'm an EU fan so I am biased, but when they decided to do away with it you would think someone would say "you know those are some of the most hardcore fans, so maybe we should just continue those stories in a separate continuity while having our main canon".
I've seen so many Youtubers give their Sequel Trilogy ideas and they all sound a lot better than what we got. Heck if you just want to cater to the fans and do fan service..... have Luke be the one to catch that lightsabert in TFA and he runs of Kylo Ren who has defeated Rey.
I wonder if it’s even possible to satisfy the progressive white board while telling a good story. Some of those leftist requirements go beyond diversity casting and extend to plot and character requirements that are entirely at odds with good storytelling. It’s one thing to say “half or more of the people in every scene need to be female” and quite another to say “our female lead can never be shown demonstrating weakness or any negative character trait”.
It is, but it requires a considerable amount of work and thought to be put into the holistic picture. You can't just write scenes then write the leadins to those in a string of lines like many productions do.
Which means you'd need one person with a good sense of self awareness working without executives constantly rewriting pieces (and thus disrupting the overall body). Leaving it impossible in practice to actually reach.
You could do a pretty good 'passing the torch' story by simply using the Thrawn Trilogy(with some allusions to Jedi Academy) with very few modifications.
Of course, if they wanted to go complete balls to the wall, simply use the Legacy comics and keep one particular characters heritage as a 'wham' moment.
Now that I can’t speak to, I haven’t played since the year it came out - but I heard BioWare just handed off development / management of it to another company which doesn’t bode well

I don't think wokeism can ever be satisfied
And can’t be mentored by a male

Good point.
Interestingly enough, the KotOR MMO is the only piece of Legends still being worked on
I’ve heard that. Disney hasn’t poisoned it?

Speaking of legends, have you seen the Heir to the Empire animated adaptation that the YouTuber Darth Angelus is doing?
Its Bioware, so it has its own poison baked directly into it.
i really wanted to like it, but playing it was such a chore.
