Basically, Disney is doubling down on the sequel trilogy. Their streaming series have been hit and miss (more on the miss side) with one big exception so far. I think it's mostly bluster to make Disney look more confident than they actually feel for the upcoming Indy movie and Mandalorian series (which may be slipping a bit in popularity). Remember, Disney made the same bluster about a Rian Johnson trilogy because they were 100% confident The Last Jedi was going to be beloved, or at least acted like they did. On the other hand, Disney might squeak by with Indy and Mandalorian may catch it's second wind. Disney's long term Star Wars franchise is really riding on Indy and Mandalorian, and will sink or swim with them.
Although Andor is a fine show, it just isn't getting the mass popularity or ratings they were hoping for so far, so that won't help them much. Then there's Ahsoka and The Acolyte. I have a funny feeling those won't be mass success either, but we'll see.

Mandalorian turned to SUCK a long time ago, and Indy is going to FAIL at the box office by far.
