KOTOR but not a Revan story, I don't think Revan could be done properly in a movie format.
Whatever it is, nothing from the ST should come back. Just bury it

Your ideas for Ep. X or ST spin-offs (Open Star Wars spoilers)

Honestly I would just let it sit for a long time and just do Guardians movies. Nothing in the SW catalogue touches Guardians 1 aside from Empire.
While I actually like the ST as a whole, I'm kind of done with all of it. Like, I wouldn't mind cameos of Finn or Poe as statesmen or generals, or of Rey as a Jedi master, training one of our new heroes. But they should start telling new stories, with new people and places that aren't connected to the Skywalker saga.
No Episode X, they should leave it at that.
I'll be open for Disney+ shows or animated spin-offs that continue the adventures of Sequel Trilogy characters, though. They kinda deserve better after how it wrapped up, just like how The Clone Wars gave PT characters a chance to shine.
What I want from future movies is far-flung stories where there's no empire and it's an entirely new cast of characters, with the exception of maybe incredibly old droids. Bring in new conflicts, planets, etc.
Old Republic would be fine but I don't have confidence they won't change it up enough. One of my least fave things about the KotOR games is that it's basically identical in technology, factions, and aesthetics to the movies.

Came up with what I imagine the opening crawl would be for my proposed Episode X on page 1:
EPISODE X
LEGACY OF THE SITH
Over a decade of relative peace has existed since the fall of the First Order. General Poe Dameron leads the New Republic Army as they hunt down the few remaining First Order factions, commanded by Supreme Leader Thrawn. Senator Finn pushes for constant vigilance in the Galactic Senate as the skirmishes continue.
Jedi Master Rey Skywalker trains a new generation of Jedi on Tatooine. The galaxy has shown great distrust of her, with knowledge of her dark lineage out in the open. Now, whispers of a hidden son of the legendary Luke Skywalker have caused unrest, and Rey has embarked on a journey to track down this alleged heir.
Elsewhere, in the shadows, a group of cultists calling themselves the Remnants of Exogol seek out relics of the past to pass on the knowledge of the Sith. With the history of the Dark Side of the Force at stake, these villains expand the range of their search and their cruelty...

Since TROS was kinda like Dark Empire, I guess it's time for the Vong to return.
Speaking seriously, I'd rather they do an alternate timeline where's Luke's jedi temple wasn't destroyed or something so far past the current timeline that the events of the sequel trilogy don't really matter.
My dream episode 7 (before the official one was revealed) was a smaller scale story of old man Luke roaming the outer rim and other non-republic controlled territories of the galaxy, recruiting force sensitives (who are new characters) while searching for a home for his jedi order.
During the adventure Luke and his ragtag bunch would fend off all manner of threats including mercenaries, bounty hunters, and even a (non-sith) dark side user. While Luke would definitely be an important character, the story would really focus on the various apprentices he recruits, exploring their personal conflicts, histories, and struggles to become Jedi.
Along the way you'd hear about things happening in the rest of the galaxy, such as political events in the republic but they wouldn't be focused on and only really mentioned in passing. Instead the world-building would be focused on new and exciting places that we've never seen before.
The movie would end with Luke reestablishing a new order, fulfilling his dream, and passing the torch for the next generation.
But since Luke is dead in the current timeline and the galaxy is kinda in chaos, maybe there could be a timeskip and an older Rey could do this, although her sith heritage might be an issue.

Do a ten year time jump with an older Rey. Shes created a new Jedi Order in the last ten years, only to find out that she wasnt the only one to recreate the Jedi Order in the galaxy as she encounters a Jedi named Mara Jade who leads a group of Jedi bounty hunters who've thrown away the old teachings in favor of freedom.
Mara Jade turns out to be Luke Skywalker's daughter (TWIST!!), who was abandoned by him in favor of recreating his Jedi Order.
In other parts of the galaxy, a prophecy about the return of Ben Solo inspired various force sensitive to rise up from the doldrums both light and dark alike.
The plot? Well only one sect is being chosen to ally itself with the New Republic. Join Rey on a diplomatic mission to gain the support of senators as she legitimizes her academy as the successor of the Jedi Order. Also Baby Yoda is now an adult now, but due to him being raised by a prolific bounty hunter his fate is unknown. WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON?
The movie climax with Jedi Olympics.

No episode X, no ST spinoffs, make movies as far removed from the Skywalker Saga as possible or stick to the OT era
I feel like whatever antagonists come next, they should be smaller and more morally gray, with a much more personal conflict than the prequels/OT. This is one of the problems with the sequels where they went larger and larger with each movie which blew up massively in their faces by TROS. If you keep upping the stakes like this with every film, it kinda devalues the past (what's the point of the chosen one prophecy and Luke and Anakin's actions if an even more powerful empire is gonna show up in a few decades) and turns the conflicts into predictable good vs evil fate of the galaxy type wars. There's also a limit to how dangerous you can make an enemy before it gets ridiculous.
This is actually something Clone Wars did really well in many of its arcs where the conflict was fairly important but not so much so that the fate of the galaxy was at risk. I think the best example would be the Mandalore arc which was way more interesting than another Empires vs Rebels conflict.

I don't want to see any of these people ever again. Either go far into the future where all these people are dead and gone or go far back into the old republic when Force users were everywhere and the general military was trained to combat force users as a matter of survival.
then there are people like me who can enjoy all the movies and I'm okay with more.
