There are plenty of 'Legends' novels out there to adapt like Darth Bane trilogy, Darth Plageius, Rise of Darrh Vader. Then there is the canon Lords of the Sith novel. Any of these adapted to film would be hits so long as they are not hijacked to push other messages

Perrin outdoes Egwene in Dream-world abilities, he is THE Master, and stripping him of this is a huge disappointment. One of his best moments in the late books is his put down of Egwene within the dreamworld by dispelling Balefire right in front of her which brings her down a few pegs.

Will watch Andor s2 then tune out unless the canon novel Lords of the Sith or even a Darth Bane series gets adapted though they'd likely be stuff up's just like Acolyte which promised an exploration of the dark side and the Sith but was anything but that

Hopefully s2 Andor is even better than the great s1. Disney should adapt the Lord's of the Sith novel which is canon, they have the rights to James Earl Jones's Vader voice plus Hayden Christensen would love another chance to play Vader, and Ian McDiarmid could reprise Palps perhaps even doing a Christopher Lee and do most of his own stunts though at 80 he might prefer non-stunt work or simply voicing Palps. This would be a winner as Star Wars fans are always eager for Vader especially in combat, as well as the two Sith Lords dynamic and it would be another opportunity to show a pre rebellion cell. Another opportunity is the Darth Bane story. Both I'd definitely watch and even see them multiple times if it was theatre release but I will not bother with the sequels sequel trilogy movies that was announced last year even if I was offered free tickets

Virtually no surviving Jedi after Order 66? Seriously? With the exception of High Republic the number of Jedi survivors keeps increasing with each media product Disney produce.

Most of your listed actors will have hefty price tags even if they have the build & similar look when bearded (if they currently don't have one) but all are quite capable of the role. However, it will all hinge on whether Disney loosen their purse strings to do Stevenson's legacy as Baylan justice. I'd rather see them do this and take their time in casting hence the delay than get a cheap newcomer. Then the issue becomes timing i.e. filming, post production and release it all before the 2026 Mando movie which will supposedly close it all out. I'd rather they delayed that movie and get things right but it's Disney and they have a record of stuffing Star Wars up
