So the next 5 unreleased films + spin-offs are all mediocre designed-by-committee? dunno seems to me you just weren't a fan of JJ's version. Plus stop pretending the originals were better than they were, 2 of the 3 films weren't even good in the OG Trilogy! 

Why is the TV show a bad idea? They've pretty much had a TV show on air for Star Wars since 2003. It's hardly anything new

No, I am a fan of The Force Awakens. I'd rank only A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back above it. TFA is more consistent than Return of the Jedi, which starts strongly but sputters in its second and third acts.

If the next 47 Star Wars movies prove to be great, then I'll gladly eat crow. However, based on Disney's track record with cinematic universes I expect a whole lot of movies that are either passable or workshopped within an inch of their lives, or both. Disney has a way of gentrifying, homogenizing, and serializing its properties -- something I'd rather not happen to Star Wars.

I think Disney has handled many of its properties very well. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, as a whole is fine -I agree, and even bland. But when they do well it's definitely something worth seeing. For example their handling of the Captain America movies have been good. The GotG movies are consistent.. however, I agree the GotG (and new Thor)'s style definitely is not the template I want Star Wars to adopt going forward
