More on Star Wars TV developing???

You know what would be great for Star Wars TV? About three annual hour+ long unrelated features. Short stories from the Star Wars universe akin to the Journey to TFA novellas. I'm thinking about the old Jim Henson Sunday night specials as an influence.
Say the first year you do three installments. Story one is a Rebellion era Bounty Hunter story. Cast someone of film caliber to play the important characters, say Dengar and Manaroo and whoever they are pursuing, and do an hour story of them hunting down some mark or other.
Second you do an Old Republic Jedi story about getting to the bottom of some new threat or other. Make the main characters new and interesting to see if you can pique some interest down the line.
Finally do a First Order era story about a fighter pilot trying to earn his special forces stripe in an expedition against some Outer Rim pirates.
I think these sort of standalone vignettes would do very well, draw great talent that wouldn't necessarily be interested in a whole series, and have some mass appeal beyond what something like AoS brings to Marvel.
