Ever since the sequels were announced, I wanted for either Episode IX to be the permanent end of the main saga, with future movies being their own thing unrelated to the Skywalkers, or for there to be a ~15-20 year gap between Episodes IX and X.

Now I definitely want IX to be the end, because unless Kylo is redeemed, there aren’t anymore Skywalkers, and having a numbered saga movie (Episode X+) with no Skywalkers seems weird to me.

But that doesn’t mean I want Star Wars movies to end, or that I want them all to be one-offs. I’m very excited about both Benioff & Weiss’ trilogy and Rian Johnson’s trilogy, because they’ll both be mini-sagas separated from the numbered episodes and free from the baggage of the Skywalkers.

As SilverWook said, I want a definitive ending to the main saga, like ROTJ was for a very long time. I’m fine with it continuing in book or comic form as the EU back in the 90s-00s did, but as a movie series, it needs to have an ending.
