so they're going to push ahead and make more movies that many fans of the franchise actively want them not to make.

This would be like people who loved a sandwich joint but were allergic to peanuts found that place now insisted all sandwiches and tea came with peanuts.

The only real change so to the star wars stand alone movies after this one will be that their budgets will be even stricter again as they'll have to take into account the potentially low sales of a movie about some of the more abstract background characters from the original or even prequel trilogies. Not that a strict budget is always a bad thing, one of the cheapest made Star Trek films ever was Wrath of Khan because there was no faith in the series after the Motion picture bombed so hard... think still hard to name many Trek movies better than Khan.

Most Star Wars fans really want the Obi-Wan movie from what I've seen, they want to see Ewan McGreggor in the role again, and if they work Maul into the movie as well, which is easily possible, I think the movie will go over really well with fans. 

The Boba movie on the other hand, I've seen mixed feelings about, some people want it, others think that a character like Boba who was mostly silent in the original trilogy can't carry a movie. If I were them I'd make it about a younger Boba, show the climatic duel between Boba and Cad Bane that we were supposed to get in season 6 of Clone Wars. The young Boba actor has even expressed interest in reprising his role.

I agree that tight budgets are a smart move for them, they should try and keep them below $100m if at all possible, $120m at most. Solo was going to have a $120m budget before the expensive reshoots after the director change, would have made a profit with that original budget, especially after the home video release and tv/streaming rights were sold. 

 

Fans are excited for Obi-wan because he is a freaking Jedi. Unlike the new movies that did away with them like they are "outdated" rather than a central point of interest for the series. Killed off all Jedi and the order. What a wonderful idea! Obviously the thought of someone who never loved Star wars and yet calls the shots...
