I'm talking getting people to turn out for the movies. In that sense "skippable" is a synonym for "I'll wait for streaming".

The Mandalorian, which is set 5 years after RotJ and 25 years before TFA, has been an enormous hit and it's expected that the Obi Wan series will do just as well.

Doesn't this support my point? New characters, new stories. I'm not saying to avoid in-between time periods, it's to avoid in-between stories. Like if the show had been about what Boba Fett was doing between Empire and Jedi, that would have been a bad idea. Because we know whatever it is, that sarlacc pit is waiting for him.

The Rogue One prequel series is being written by Oscar Nominee Tony Gilroy and their showrunner is none other than Stephen Schiff, who produced the very well regarded TV show, The Americans.

Cool. I bet you people will be less into the Cassian Andor show than they are the Mandalorian.

There is FAR more interest within the hardcore fanbase for TV and films set in the Prequel and OT era than something set hundreds or thousands of years outside the classic time period.

I guess if you say so. Even if that's true, the hardcore fanbase isn't going to get you to $2 billion at the box office. The TV stuff is great, but that's not why Disney bought Star Wars.
Also I want to point out, I said 100-200 years. So Chewie, the droids, and the Millennium Falcon are all still on the table.
