That said, Benioff and Weiss were asked to produce a Live Action TV series but instead, wanted to make a series of films based in a particular Star Wars time frame.
Since the Star Wars stories are set before A New Hope and the sequels are set after Return of the Jedi, the time period that makes most sense for these new movies in the Knights of the Old Republic era. As mentioned, they may want to go back 850 years, when Yoda was a young Padawan or Jedi Master but KOTOR makes more sense considering their work on Game of Thrones.
As for too much? Who knows? Public response will dictate how much Star Wars content is too much and at this point, I'm not sure anyone can gauge it accurately.

Oh yeah, there are a ton of different characters and timelines ripe for mining... its just kinda coming off like overkill lately IMO
But I'm sure there is plenty of money to be made, so more power to them I guess
