Rogue One is a Star Wars film. It is not a Star Wars saga film, hence it has no Episode moniker, but it's not separate.

However, given that it is an immediate prequel to Ep 4 and features numerous characters from the saga films, not calling it Star Wars is inaccurately hairsplitting. The follicle cannot be separated.

The two Ewok TV films could be described as not Star Wars since other than Ewoks it seemed to be in Earth's future, with characters literally from Earth and no talk of an Empire, Rebellion, or other characters. A parallel moon to the one in ROTJ.

Rebels almost could've been that, but once they started bringing in Vader and Maul and Kenobi and Lando and R2 and C3PO and Leia and Wedge and Mon Mothma and Bail Organa (did I miss any?) it was no longer outside the saga.

Seeing as the Han Solo film is also going to be a backstory film, this is heavily in favor of the 6th unannounced film being either Fett or Kenobi "between the trilogy" like the other 2 are.
