Honest question: Is anyone really excited for this?

I'm not. The overal story of First Order vs Resistance just bores me because its a exact rehash of Empire vs Rebels. What else can they do? They have written themselves into a corner and TLJ just felt like a filler episode were nothing actually happens to further the overal story and plot of the trilogy. The whole arc is broken. 1 movie left and its not enough to start something interesting again because everything needs to be resolved at the end of it. Unless you make a 4 hour movie which is impossible...

The end of TLJ just left me kinda down. I felt like it was the end for Star Wars in general. What else was there to tell? The First Order just won and the Resistance is down to like 4 people...
All OT characters are either dead in the movies or dead in real life.. Now they are bringing Lando back? And Luke as a Force Ghost is just pissing me off, cuz he should be there ALIVE.

Nope, we stopped watching "The Force Awakens" because it was so stupid. I love strong female characters, but come on! The first time Rey ever uses the force, she's a pro? The first time she ever touches a lightsaber she's an expert fencer? She can fly the Falcon like an ace even though she's never even touched it before, and and fix it too? Her character is simply absurd. Sadly SW took a turn for the worse with Episode VI, Return of the Jedi, and has never looked back, with each chapter getting progressively worse.
With the exception of Rogue One, which still had its problems (see HISHE), we haven't wasted any more time on SW. We didn't finish Episode VII, and we won't watch episodes VIII or IX. last best SW movie I saw was "The Empire Strikes Back"..sad, but true.
