Not really... When you consider we live in an era where streaming TV series have become the predominant source of entertainment for many and people are happily binging 10+ hours of a season over a weekend and are chomping at the bit to get the next season. In comparison, once a year we're getting about 2.5 hrs of Star Wars. As a Star Wars fan, I'd totally be ok with more content to consume from that universe, especially if it's a fresh story not focused on the Skywalker saga.
Tbh I only care about the Skywalker saga. With the exception of the Old Republic and the formation of the Jedi and Sith, no other story besides the one of the Skywalkers is going to have such a large impact on the galaxy. Rogue One was my first introduction to a non-Skywalker story and it was miserable (yes, even the third act) to me so with that as my first impression and Solo looking as bad as it does, I have no interest in non-Skywalker stories.
I will give the benefit of the doubt to Johnson's trilogy since he's such a brilliant filmmaker, though. If he can get other great directors, namely Alex Garland and Denis Villeneuve, I'll be more on board as long as the story is intriguing. But the GOT guys are hacks and I have no interest in anything they do.
Honestly, though, the best part about Star Wars is the hype. The Force Awakens opening night was so much fun because we hadn't seen a Star Wars movie for 10.5 years. Rogue One opening weekend, just like the movie, was really dull because we just got new Star Wars already and this one had nothing truly new to offer. The Last Jedi was exciting because we hadn't gotten a good Star Wars movie since 2015 and nobody had seen Luke Skywalker do anything for over 30 years. With all the negative press surrounding Solo (firing directors, reshooting 90% of the film, bad trailer, plagiarized posters) and the fact it comes out just 6 months after an already divisive film, I'm not seeing a lot of hype for this movie. Episode IX should have a lot of excitement surrounding it as it'll be the conclusion to this nine part epic, but it's too far out to really say.
After IX, though, what's going to happen? We'll be getting hours of Star Wars on television followed by a new Star Wars movie about events, characters, and time periods that are the equivalent of a Wookieepedia article every year. I'll be able to make this argument better after Solo comes out, but TFA had a $936m domestic/2B WW box office. The box office for Rogue One dropped significantly with Rogue One with $532m domestic/1B WW box office. For The Last Jedi, the box office rose back up (although not to TFA numbers) to $619m domestic/1.3B WW. Point being with this, even with Star Wars in the title, people are less interested in content outside of the Skywalker Saga. That's not to say $1B WW isn't an absolute feat or that Rogue One is a failure, but as time goes on and people are getting these pointless stories on TV and in the movies, the box office will definitely decrease with them as they already have less interest than the saga films.
