The kinda sad thing about the Mufasa trailer is that I could actually see a really good movie coming out of the idea about a prequel following Mufasa's youth.
More specifically, I would love a tragedy showing Scar's fall from grace, seeing him and Mufasa's relationship deteriorating and Scar becoming the envious murderer. It could be such a tragic tale of love, envy, pride, and hate to see Scar go from loving brother into the monster we see him become. In other words, to keep the Shakespeare parallels going, while the first one was Hamlet, and the second Romeo and Juliet, this would be Othello.
Unfortunately, I do not think Disney as it is could tell that story. Particularly not as part of their live-action/CG franchise. But one can dream.

Me watching the Lion King as a child: Oh boy I would love to see a hyperrealistic film about one of the side characters where he raps about being the underdog despite this movie being about destiny and divine right.

And here I am getting frustrated over people mixing Lion King’s canon, semi-canon and fanon again...

♫ Everywhere I turn I hurt someone. But there's nothing I can say to change the things I've done. I'd do anything within my power. I'd give everything I've got. But the path I seek is hidden from me now. Brother Bear, I let you down. You trusted me, believed in me and I let you down. Of all the things I hid from you I cannot hide the shame ♫

Nanny Ashtoreth holding 3 year old Warlock in her arms:
Nanny: Look, Warlock. Everything the light touches is our kingdom.
Brother Francis: *eyes her suspiciously*
Nanny: A king's time as ruler, rises and falls like the sun.
Francis: *opens his mouth to interject*
Nanny: One day, Warlock, the sun will set on our time here and will rise with you as the new king.
Warlock: And this will all be mine?
Nanny: Everything.
Francis: Are you- is- was that from Lion King?
Nanny, covering Warlock's ears: Hey, it's a good movie!

not me thinking about Mufasa's spirit playing with cub Kiara in the opening of lion king 2, her playful swatting at his breeze the first clue of her fire, her fun, who she is as Kiara before she was ever told she'd someday be queen
not me thinking about Mufasa watching helplessly as his son stifles Kiara, worriedly insists she walks in his paw prints- literally and figuratively- no exploring or adventure, no forgetting her future duties.
Mufasa, who pulled his young son in and dropped his own smaller duties as king to play pouncing with young Simba
now seeing Simba stop Kiara's playful pouncing with a restraining paw over and over again- The pain and fear that Mufasa's death scarred Simba with, now hurting Mufasa's granddaughter too.
(but not forever. not if Mufasa can help it)
Simba's shame and guilt at his dismissal of what it really means to be king, pressed onto his cub, his heir, his responsibility, weighing Kiara down even when she's still so young, isolating her not just from Simba but from herself- Kiara watching a baby bird try to fly and get chased back to the nest, her heartbroken face, her GLEE when the little bird is flying on it's own later...
and her helpless, bittersweet happiness as it flies away, doing what she can't do- not because anyone is physically stopping her but because she's been taught to stop herself.
Mufasa, watching Kiara get to be herself for the first time as she makes a new friend, as they save each other, as she is BRAVE in the face of danger, STRONG and SMART enough to make sure both she and Kovu escape it, and... proud of herself, finally. For doing something as herself.
Kiara so happy to finally play with a friend, before other old pains interrupt and separate them
and this is when Mufasa reaches out to Rafiki with a plan. A plan to heal the break in the pride lands, yes, but also- a plan to give his granddaughter some HAPPINESS. A way for her to have more in her life than just being queen
(or even... to not be queen)
Kiara gets a choice. Her grandfather makes sure she does, and that she knows it's hers to make
In helping nudge her and Kovu together, Mufasa leads them to the moment- after Simba refuses to listen to his daughter again, running from old shame and blindly chasing his father's legacy- as the stars watch over Kiara running from Pride Rock, finding Kovu, the two of them laughing as they chase each other through the ashes of past destruction-
(the simple joy of enjoying life together, Kiara's gift to Kovu, another cub who didn't really get to be one and has to learn who he even is now, all this time later- just she does)
there is no sign given to Kiara. No reminder to go home
no request from Mufasa that she heal the wounds Simba and Zira keep choosing to rip open
she could go. She could go, like Kovu says, leave and start a life with someone who she's happy with as herself, who loves her FOR herself, without needing her to be queen-
finally, for the first time in her life, she could be free. The joy that should have been hers as a cub, gifted now, under the silently watching stars
(she is Mufasa's grandchild without being anything else)
she chooses to see others in her own reflection. she chooses to go back- laughs softly at the idea of leaving-
(Simba passed Mufasa's words down to her, the part of Simba's father that Scar couldn't kill, that Simba wouldn't let die, the understanding that grandfather and granddaughter share without ever having met- that makes them the great king that he was, and the great queen she already is proving herself to be)
but that WAS her choice to make
to be queen. to go back. to again try making Simba listen
and....
to reach out a paw to Zira after Zira tried murdering her father again right in front her- after Kiara leaped in the way- a queen is brave and strong when she needs to be
but a king or queen must be more than that
Mufasa, looking up at his brother (who's resentment he knows well) begging for and trusting Scar would reach down and save him-
Mufasa's granddaughter, looking down at Zira (who's hate she has felt so personally) and reaching down desperately, begging Zira to let Kiara save her-
a circle completed. an old hurt, finally healing
(for those that choose it. Scar and Zira with claws out, losing themselves as they cut themselves off from those around them)
Mufasa couldn't be there when Kiara was a cub, to laugh as she pounced at butterflies and forget everything for a game of chase. He would have loved to see Kiara the silly, the playful, his granddaughter before anything else- like he did with his son
His not being there is what kept Simba from being able to be there for her either, what caused Simba to hurt his own cub without even knowing it, lectures in place of jokes and worry that cut between them like a gorge neither could cross alone
but Simba listens to Kiara in the end. when she reaches out to him, again, finally he reaches back
Simba ends up on Pride Rock with his daughter, with the lion she loves welcomed into their family, along with all those Simba once banished. two generations side by side
and Kiara is finally happy to be there
that is when Mufasa tells Simba he has done well. As a king? As a father
it wasn't just the pride lands that needed healing
Kiara is happy now
