"Agents of SHIELD" is EXACTLY what I thought of when I heard this news, too.  If they can't do superheroes on TV (and we've had superheroes on TV for ages), how can you do Star Wars?

Honestly, I think the solution would be to do event mini-series in the summer time or something.  Not a 22 episode series, not even a 13 episode series, a single event that's up to the standards of the films.  Something to tide us over until the next flick comes out.  I know this sounds like The Star Wars Christmas Special, but they know better than that by now.

We could get an "Adventures of Finn and Poe" hour-long special, or a little Chewie and Rey adventure... something like those thirty minute Toy Story specials that come out every year or so.  THAT would work.  Or maybe they could do... not prequels, but say for Rogue One, they could give us a "what happened before" story, we don't NEED to know it before the movie,  but it's like a fun tie-in.
