Re first paragraph: while I do somewhat agree, we’ll likely never see TOR stories until Disney and EA can sort out the rights to those stories. Plus, I’d rather have TOR kept as video game lore. For no reason I can articulate.
I don’t think getting rights to the novels is a problem— adapting them in-universe is what would be difficult, although that’s not been a problem when they’ve dipped their toes into the lore before. The REAL problem will be, as you’ve mentioned before 1) mustering the courage to venture away from the “core story”, and 2) convincing he audience to go along. it would be the equivalent of Trek producing ENT, and we all know how well that went— although, done better, that could have been pretty awesome and quite nearly was. (Yes, I’m still bitter about that show!)
Ya know, they’ve started in with the novels already. Not only with, it think Tales of the Jed, but also going into the new series Acolyte, they’re delving into adapting some of the later ones. I do believe they’re going to start moving that way.

Re second paragraph: Yup. :).
sorry to jump in here, but…
