Since Star Wars does "just one biome per planet" and this isn't Kamino... could it be Castilon from Resistance?
Resistance felt like it was cut short so I wonder if some of the ideas from that show are being repurposed for this film, possibly only as a starting point.

If so, I hope it is pretty high-level. Resistance never got past the "immature lead is insanely annoying" phase that all Filoni animation projects go through.
I loved the world building of resistance.
And that would be the high level stuff that I think could absolutely work. The Pirates and the station and the racing culture (which apparently the books say Han Solo got into after the original trilogy?) were all pretty neat. It also hinted at some of the economic ambiguity that TLJ touched on.
Kaz just deflates the entire experience, IMHO, and a Filoni animated show needs time to rehabilitate gratingly "spunky" POV characters, either by making them much better (Ahsoka) or at least sanding down the edges and integrating them into the ensemble (Ezra).
To be fair they are kids shows, so it has the characters of a kids show.
The world he created is amazing though
Seeing Kaz grown up might be fun like you say à la Ezra
Dat cast!
set five years after Rise of Skywalker
:P
Likely deserves better writing than it's going to get.
