Sadly, Disney burned half the concepts you mention for no reason and zero gain in the ST.

Knights of Ren bruned the Imperial Knight idea, NJO is is dead on arrival after Luke turned into Hobo Luke, we can't have a Princess anymore after Leia is a General (and there is no Fel linage in Disney canon anyway)

Sexy Talon is impossible in cuurrent year Hollywood. She'd be a girlboss. Maladi as an actual crazy-ass psycho would also not be alowed.
And Cade as an edgy bad boy with a heart of gold who actually stands by his woman even after the sex goddess Talon wants to ride his meatsaber is not allowed, best I can do Pedro Pascal with serious gay daddy vibes.

That being said, I agree with you in principle. But Disney proved half a dozen timmes they are immmune to just grabing a good story from their backllog and running with it.
They preferred to make dumb decisions and crashed the MCU and SW with no survivors.
