That's such an insult to all the Legends content out there. How about "crap"?
Here's how you do it...
Show Luke, Leia, and Han all together. Before Ben joins the Academy. Maybe even years before, and just a few short years from now. Have Leia and Han in disagreement about whether Ben should train or not. Leia wants him to, Han doesn't. No offense to Luke, but Han is wary about his own son going down that path. Ultimately, however, they leave it up to Luke. So Luke meditates on it, and in his meditation, sees what could - or maybe even would - happen if he trained Ben. The highlights of the sequel trilogy are then presented in a harrowing, ultra-fast montage, Luke snaps awake in a sweat, disturbed by the possible future he's seen. And ultimately decides NOT to train Ben.
The future is now unwritten.

It's hard to imagine a studio saying it's redoing the movies that are presently ranked 1st, 10th, and 16th all time at the box office because some fans didn't like them.
I don't think you necessarily "redo" the movies. You just let the story we're currently watching unfold without any restrictions or guardrails whatsoever. Without any cloud hanging overhead. But also involve Luke, Leia, and Han in whatever ways they can, with the same (but slightly more advanced) de-aging tech.

it actually sounds perfect...those movies killed at the box office despite sucking bantha balls, imagine what they'll do with favreau/filoni at the helmhelloimustbegoing said:

Other then a student going bad 25 years from now, what are the guard rails?

Agreed. I hope y'all aren't holding your breath waiting for this. Wasn't there about 2 decades of nerds anxiously waiting re-writes if the PT? We see how that worked out.
Training Ben at all, which is, what, 10 years or so away?
Also, "The First Order" can become anything, even by a different name, and can come to be on any timeline, with another, better villain at the helm.
Also, again, there simply wouldn't be that cloud. Just *knowing* Luke doesn't end up a failed hermit would do wonders.

None of us seriously think Lucasfilm will do this. It's just fun to talk about.
nothing that a $400MM Kickstarter could not take care of.

This was also the last episode of Dallas.
Newhart and Dallas were before my time…
Counterpoint - The studio's not giving that money back if they remake the trilogy. If anything, if they felt like the ability to profit is there because the fan-base really wants it, do you think they wouldn't jump at the chance to double their profit?helloimustbegoing said:

Since JJ Abrams screwed up the SW (and ST) timeline, Mandelorian, Luke, or better somehow Groku needs to alter this timeline in a multiverse way (like the altered ST timeline) so that Episodes VII, VIII, IX are now moot, and the future can be written as Jon Favreau sees fit.
Live long and prosper!

I always think they want to make more money. But I think it's myopic to think the fan base at large wants to wipe the sequels clean. Go to a message board like theforce.net and there are hundreds of pages of people enjoying sequel discussions and their real target audience - kids isn't not buying toys because of bad plot points. This is really just the exact same thing that happened after the prequels, except it's a lot easier for people who dislike something to be very vocal about it.
Interesting take…

All of your points are invalid and your Star Wars fan card is revoked.DukeMu said:
Groku
I am also a little off-put by the choice at the end. Grogu is supposed to end up with a Beskar shirt and that's how he survives Kylo. It makes a ton of sense.
Grodeu

I was already finding it weird that Luke is presenting that choice when he never abandoned his family/friends. I understand maybe Ashoka trying to keep Grogu detached seeing the fall of Anakin but Luke always kept those attachments and successfully came out the other side better for it.
Weird he would be the one to present such a choice when all of his decisions previously were based on saving those he loved.
The comic books offer some insight into this. The current Star Wars book timeline is set between Empire and Jedi. Currently, Luke is tooling around the galaxy looking for Jedi artifacts to teach himself because, "holy crap that last stuff I did could not have gone any worse." This seems like an issue of living out mistakes and then trying to help your kids avoid them.
Exactly.
The only thing I can think is that maybe Luke in some way changes/again sees the benefit of attachments through Grogu, and we see Luke come to that realization in the next episode.

So anyways, back to creating a story going forward where we pretend the sequel trilogy never took place.

Then Ben moves about the galaxy only to find the only Jedi/Mandolorian in existence and begs him to train him.

Exactly my feelingQuote:
the reflection of a Jedi dogma that Luke has never abided to before.

We already have leet, no need for another pan sexual droid

If she has R2 she doesn't need Luke. He's part droid anyway.
