Not that Solo was a terrible movie. Personally I fee as if Solo was a solid entertaining but feeble effort, in the same sense as National Treasure. Not terrible, but a worthy adventure film if you're having a boring night. So it's deserved of its 6.9.
The Rise Of Skywalker though is rated 6.6 on imdb as of this time. Yes it's a stinker of a chapter in the franchise, but it seems unanimous now that it's destined to be ranked lower than TPM.
I don't think words like "stinker", "destined", and "unanimous" mean what you think.
For starters, it's ranked higher than TPM at IMDB, the source you cited. Barely, but it is. All three movies have virtually the same score at IMDB. It splits the Metacritic score with TPM. And of all 3 sites, it has the highest of all 3 movies with fans.

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed Solo. I resisted seeing it, but went to the theater the last week it was out and honestly loved it. I thought it was good fun.
I think Solo is the best movie in the Disney saga, with Rogue One being second. A distant third would be Rise of Skywalker.
