Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Episode IX)

We have a release date for conclusion of the third trilogy, 5/29/19. Looks like they are sticking with the plan to move away from the December release date starting with the Han Solo film.
 
Over / under on Ep9 being better than the prequels? I'm saying about 50/50. Jar Jar Binks vs. space flying Leia, place your bets.
 
With Kennedy gone, hopefully we won't get a year of basement-dwelling triggered snowflake incel "fans" non-stop crapping all over it.
 
So far, the spin-off movies were bad (R1, Han Solo) and the trilogy has been meh (FA, LJ). So I expect nothing less than meh from the upcoming movie. Disney getting involved had the effect we all thought it would.
 
R1 was really good. Eps 1-3 and 7, 8 were gutter trash. Haven't seen Solo yet but heard it was pretty crummy. I have very low hopes for 9.
 
R1 was trash. I'm not wrong.

R1 was much better than TFA. And Solo isn't as bad as people are saying but it feels more like a sci-fi western (think Firefly) than Star Wars.

However considering EP.VII was EP.IV 2.0 and TLJ was an abysmal effort, there is a much better than average change that EP.IX will be average at best and fit in one of these 2 spots in my SW ranking. (And yes, I will lack credibility as I am in the minority who prefers EPVI to V).

R1>EPVI>EPV>EPIV>TFA>EPIX>HS>EPIX>EPIII>TLJ>EPII>EPI
 
For me, it's:

EPV > EPIV > R1 > EPVI > TFA >>>>>>>> EPI-III,TLJ

I couldn't stand the stupid Ewoks in EPVI and wished they all got fried. And the space battle where the massive Imperial fleet with the SSD couldn't just stomp the ragtag Rebel fleet is irksome. EPV, IV, and R1 were all very good in my opinion. Haven't seen HS yet so can't rank it.
