They're just going to have JJ Abrams make a very safe, happy ending Episode IX, cut out the side-stories to keep the brand fresher. Star Wars is not Marvel, it doesn't have the depth of characters, plot lines, or different genres it can work with, doing yearly Star Wars movies was always a stupid idea, just like yearly Jurassic Park movies would not work, by about the third year in a row of that you would be in big trouble. |
Except for the fact that we are literally in the exact same position that we were in after Episode VII, and it's even worse now that Luke is dead.
Nothing they could do would come off as coherent from the previous episode. It would take in-film years, if not decades, for the rebels to even build up a decent defense against the empire, even with Super Sue. If they do what they did and start the film right where the last one ended like they did in TLJ, there is no way that Ben Swolo and his empire would lose (unless inexplicable bullshit occurs, which wouldn't surprise me with the current trend of this reboot). Episode IX has at least a 90% chance of sucking, because there are no current stakes to give a damn about.
