"David Filoni Cinematic Universe" -- oh lol XD (but yep, that's what it is)
I think Disney is really struggling with the fallout of the Sequels specifically because it's just so divisive - both as a trilogy and each movie separately. Some people liked them, some people liked parts of them, some people hated the whole thing... It's even worse for them than if it was universally disliked, then at least they could go "er, less of that".
And since Disney's creative direction for Star Wars seems to be run on analytics... well. (I am not bitter, who's bitter... /sarcasm) At least Lucas had a plan. I'm no great fan of ~auteurs~ (or Lucas...), but at least he had that.
As for Mangold... and Obaid-Chinoy... is it just me, or is Disney trying to "overwrite" the more popular (or at least memorable) Legends stories? Tales of the Jedi, New Jedi Order...
