A Jedi school could introduce rich stories to the new Star Wars canon.
The live-action TV series is a perfect way to tell these stories.
Luke Skywalkers Jedi Academy would be a rich setting for Disneys live-actionStar Warsshow.

We could also learn more about these major characters through the eyes of the other students.
Would Mark Hamill Reprise His Role for TV?
He also doesnt do much TV work as it is besides the occasional Trickster cameo on CWsThe Flash.
We highly doubt that Hamill would want to commit to a full seasons worth of episodes.
A movie (or perhaps a trilogy of movies?)
One only has to look back to some of the old EU stories for proof.

The novelThe Weapon of a Jediby Jason Fryshows Luke investigating a ruined Jedi school.
