CGI comes out for TV in the 1990s (Babylon 5, Space Above & Beyond, M.A.N.T.I.S.) but even then trying to match the work of the movies would be tough quality wise. Nothing beats models and motion capture IMO.

Now days, maybe, maybe. I think they could do one now. My pick to run it would be J. Michael Straczynski, but I'm not Disney.....

Heh, Galactica, even, but a lot of reused sequences in those. 1987 might have been the starting point where it was viable because that was when Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted. They had an unprecedented budget for a weekly show at the time, and a brilliant makeup and sfx team. In the early 1980s I could not see a Star Wars series working, unless it was something that stuck to planets a lot, with a lot of reused scenes in space or maybe focus on other weapons (blades, guns.)

Not sure. Storyline there were tons of ways a show in the Star Wars Universe could have been set up.

However, the big question is Special Effects, and if they could keep the quality solid. I remember the "V" Miniseries, and then the "V" series in the 80s after that. The effects thing really beat them up bad. Not saying you couldn't have realistic battles, Airwolf comes to mind, but stuff like space sequences with models, lasers etc., that would be real hard. Buck Rogers & Glaactica worked...
