Game of Thrones, for context of a series with both well known actors and amazing sets and effects, is about $10 million per episode. If we assume that a Star Wars series would cost about the same and it would take approximately a similar number of episodes to tell such a story, that would be $720 million. I might be wrong, but I don't think such an investment in film has never been done before.
I think it will depend greatly on both the continued success of the Marvel TV shows + how the remaining Star Wars films perform.

I'd really love SW movies to be more like that, less bland and mentally lazy (AND NO MORE DEATHSTARS FFS)
Oh God yes. I was so pissed when the Force Awakens culminated with yet another, bigger Death Star.
Even if you feel the need to stick with the super weapon trope, the Empire has PLENTY of other nasty machines sitting around.
