screw it.
Since we seem to have a thread for every new Star Wars movie but nothing for general discussion (which ends up happening in those threads) I am reviving this thread.

Many believe Disney should pump the breaks and not put out a Star Wars movie each year.
I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films. J.J. [Abrams] is busy making [Episode] IX. We have creative entities, including [Game of Thrones creators David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven't been specific about. And we are just at the point where we're going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.'s. But I think we're going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that.

Personally I think this is a good idea although I liked the "every December" release schedule they had going until the released Solo 6 months after TLJ.
With IX and then two trilogies after that it's going to be hard to not release a new movie every year. Especially if you have two trilogies. Would each trilogy get 1 year in between films? I would think you would have to have only one trilogy happening at a time and not do:
2021 - X Trilogy Movie 1
2022 - Y Trilogy Movie 1
2023 - X Trilogy Movie 2
2024 - Y Trilogy Movie 2
2025 - X Trilogy Movie 3
2026 - Y Trilogy Movie 3
That would be too confusing for the consumer I Would think. But if you started with X Trilogy in 2021 and gave that breaks between films (two years like we have now) that would end in 2025 and the Y Trilogy wouldn't start until 2026 and end in 2030.
But shit the MCU kicked off in 2018 and it's still going so I guess Disney has no problem playing the long game.
