To be fair… enthusiasm for Star Wars was at an all-time low
Lower than from 2006-2012?
IMO, they needed an Episode 10. Frankly I’m unsure how to change TRoS to make it better without changing TFA and TLJ, but I can easily tell you how I’d do a two-movie follow-up to them.
The trilogy format is something that was entirely coincidental for the original movies, and a consequence of another entirely coincidental factor for the prequels. There’s no reason the sequels should have been beholden to it. A sequel quadrilogy (or two sequel duologies?) would have been better.
