I enjoyed TROS and for me it’s the best of the ST. I didn’t like TLJ.
So I suggest a two movie structure, based on TFA and TROS and using as little of TLJ as possible.
I’d move as much of the flashback stuff (ex: TLJ Ben Solo stuff, TROS Rey family) into the first movie and shorten the derivative plot elements as much as possible (ex: less running around inside starkiller base).

really good idea. might work best as a two-part film, rather than a 3-in-one or trilogy. I’d also move Palpantine & Snoke clones reveal prior to Kylo/Rey fighting the TLJ version of Snoke, then it’d make more sense and give Kylo even more reason to turn on his master for the sake of disillusionment as well as his other motivates. to this restructuring effect, the opening Kylo scenes from TRoS should come after some of the earlier TLJ Snoke scenes (?).

could potentially be a decent 2-part film if done with the right care.

*addendum: is it possible to kill off Leia in her ship (TLJ)? I’d think that that’d be narratively speaking the best place for it to happen.
