Has Star Wars finally "jumped the shark"?
Time

They need to figure out how to avoid the problems that drive the cost of these films up as what happened with Solo. The Star Wars sequel that never was, Splinter Of The Mind’s Eye was conceived as being a modestly budgeted film that would take advantage of props and costumes left over from the first film. There’s probably a few warehouses full of stuff from the current films now.
A lean, mean, lower budgeted SW story film has a better chance at cleaning up at the box office.

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *

I’m not so sure what the playing field will be like going into Episode IX. Kylo can only get so far throwing tantrums at his officers every five minutes without showing some real leadership skills. He hasn’t proved he’s capable of replacing Snoke in that regard yet. (And Luke made him look like a fool in front of a lot of witnesses.) The First Order could be too busy grappling with internal power struggles to pursue the Rebels full bore, which may give them the time they need to find new/old allies and rebuild.

But you don’t have to go see all of it. I went to see Infinity War mainly because the Guardians of The Galaxy are in it. I would think few comic readers follow every Marvel or DC book. They probably only keep up with their favorites.
I thought an SW movie once a year was fine, (alternating between saga and story films) but Disney moved Solo up to summer and it was simply too damn soon after TLJ.

I don’t recall anyone actually seeing the Romulans in Enterprise. They might have seen the Remans though.

Had the show gotten a few more seasons, I fully expected a Romulan War arc, and if Archer and the gang actually saw any Romulans, made a pact never to tell anyone and alter the logs to preserve the relationship with Vulcans. The late third season story with the Xenophobic faction on Earth being a factor in that.
