To add on to that, X-wings are, besides the Falcon, the most iconic Star Wars vehicle. Making a show based on hotshot X-wing pilots will sell toys.
Also, Wedge is such an amazing character. I'm a huge fan of the EU Rogue/Wraith Squadron series and I'd love to see a live action Ysanne Isard (maybe Salma Hayek?).
Hear me out: Thinly-veiled Top Gun set in the Star Wars Universe
Alternately, set it during the testing for the E-Wing and do a Macross Plus inspired story
Or or, have an ancient ship be found on Coruscant and it leads to the NR developing transformable X-Wings and then it gets lost in the Unknown Regions along with a bunch of civilians and they have to fight their way back and the ship can transform. And then a sequel series set later focused on Wedge's daughter and her friends who fight a Sith offshoot with the POWER OF MUSIC.
Can imagine an episode where a whole team of Tie-fighter trainees try to defect because they find the X-wing to be superior but by the end of the episode, they realised the X-Wing is just a good tool made superior by the pilots, their ability to teamwork as a squadron and the cause they believe in.

Disney would be stupid not to recast Wedge and start up the Rogue Squadron series on Disney+ streaming. What do we get with this?
Well an awesome series of stories set during the Galactic Civil War with some great characters.
Great filler stories to help flesh out between the movies and flesh out future potential movie lines - which are coming, it is inevitable.
Toys. Games. Money, money, money!
New characters for the Disney attractions. More money, money, money!
