I'm not sure Star Wars "Movies" are pure "Anatology" in that they do tie themselves in the main story line (canon) at some point, with plot point or character history. But I do get your point and agree with in general terms.

I had to get back to you @AMKC about this "recommendation". I think our perspectives on good shows are so similar, yet so far apart. This is quite possibly the worst acted, worst written, and worst CGI in a long time. It reminds me of Another Life, but worse.

However, I cannot stop watching the damn thing. It's like this perfect stew of bad that makes it enjoyable. Essentially it's East Enders in space! On the penultimate episode now after binging the past couple of days....

Really f**king bad though!

Peak Trek in 2023

2022 and 2023 are a fulfillment of a vision outlined in the early days of CBS All Access (now called Paramount+), when executives talked of year-round Star Trek on the streaming platform.

Paramount has confirmed they will be cutting back spending on content overall as the media industry moves into a new phase of the streaming era.

Terry Matalas Gives ‘Star Trek: Legacy’ Update; Alex Kurtzman Hears Fans “Loud And Clear”

These shows are expensive to make. They currently have two shows, with Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy [beginning production in 2024] and I think Paramount would have to financially justify a third one. I think the way they look at it is that they’re well-stocked. So unless fans can convince them otherwise, that’s certainly the point of view at the moment.

....

Alex and I talk all the time. If it’s something that’s going to be done, we want to make sure we don’t rush into it. We want to make sure we do it right. That’s where we’re at with it, I say coyly. At the moment, there’s nothing developed on it. But we talk all the time.

So mainly just talks at present, budget and money rules. With S31 been made a movie and plans to have movies every 2 years, 'Legacy' or other possible shows could end up as Movies?

I'd be shocked if they didn't make "Legacy". Nearly anything that's popular, even within a bad show like Discovery, gets a spinoff.

If its a show that contains the likes of Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner as permanent cast members, then I'm all for it. The cast of characters that's left on the Enterprise G at the end of Picard wouldn't be nearly strong enough to carry a show.
