I don’t for a minute believe IX will actually be the final numbered episode. There’s no way Disney’s going to do nothing but anthology films ad infinitum after 2019. My only hope is that they allow a reasonable amount of time to pass between trilogies. Maybe start another series in the distant past a la KOTOR and then come back to the “present” in ten years or so.

Anyway, as for what I hope to see in IX, I guess some sort of resolution for Luke? It’s hard to say without having seen VIII.
