Yeah, I've heard they may have more of a time gap, perhaps also to help deal with the Leia situation ?
I really hope IX is good. But I said that about TLJ, and even went in with minimal spoilers and minimal expectations.
To be honest, I'm a bit disillusioned........
I would try watching it again after it settles, maybe. I really disliked it after my first viewing, wasn't sure about it for a few days, and saw it again today. I loved it this time. There was a lot more I picked up on, and everything seemed really solid to me. Not saying that you'll like it, but I'd give it another try when you're ready if you want.
