I know there are way more normies than book readers but alienating a loyal group of fans like that isn’t smart. Could’ve just had two continuities. I also remember someone saying they probably would’ve been better off just getting the income from OT and prequel merchandise

They literally would have been better off not doing anything at all. I haven't really kept up with this but the last time I checked, they still haven't recouped their investment from buying Lucasfilm.
It's impossible to know really. The movies themselves haven't come close, but Disney does so much with the IP and it's hard to know exactly how much revenue it's generated. Just think about the huge multi billion dollar investments in the parks. How do you attribute park revenue to a specific IP that's not accounting magic? TV shows on Disney+ is another black hole. The only easily decipherable revenue streams to look at would be direct purchases of media and merchandise.

Star Wars Episode 9: The Last Command would have been a $2.5-3 billion dollar box office.
Yup. And Mara Jade onscreen would’ve been a big hit. She was a huge fan favorite in the book community

Um, well
I don't need to be an accounting wizard to know that they took a bath on at least part of the investment.
