So I tried to find more info on it and it seems like they are not remaking the trilogy. Multiple movies set in various time periods before the Hobbit and LotR are currently written. That’s not really great but it is way better than a remake IMHO.
At least they are smart enough not to try to remake a near perfect trilogy. If they try enough options with giving different directors freedom, they can hit gold with one - same way Disney did with Andor or Rogue One, even if most other new SW content sucks.
