I heard Tony Gilroy requested to shorten it down to 2 seasons from 5.

Originally he envisioned each season was one year Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY). So season 1 was 5BBY to season 5 being 1BBY leading up to the events of Rogue One.

After completing season 1 he realized he didn’t want to spend the next decade or more doing this show as it took so long per season.

So he altered the deal, so to speak, and shortened each season down to four 3 episode arcs that make up the twelve episodes of season 2.

I read that in an interview before season 2 aired, seemed legit reasoning to me. Would have loved to seen the full 5 seasons but man, I get it, there are probably other projects he’d like to work on over the next decade.
