That never happened.In a trilogy marketed as the Skywalker Saga.
You're either willingly trying to muddle people about the past, or, more likely, you've become confused.
The ST was absolutely never, at any pointed, marketed as "The Skywalker Saga".
What you're thinking of is a Lego Star Wars game, which covered ALL NINE films. So you're wrong on both points:
1) It wasn't the trilogy that was ever marketed that way, it was a Lego game.
2) Even when it was used, it referred to all nine films, and there's absolutely no problem to killing the Skywalkers off in a Skywalker Saga, on the direct contrary, you would expect it to be beginning through end.
Some fans have always used it to refer to all nine films, but only after the Lego game.
Also, if Abrams was such a petty little dude (and he definitely is, I remember the interviews at the time), you could easily have another good movie after TLJ. Hell, Trevorrow's movie would arguably have been better than what we got and followed on largely fine from TLJ.
