Now that I've actually read the rest of the article, they wanted to do it on a budget?

Ruh-roh.

They blame the failure of The Rise of Skywalker on The Last Jedi. Because that makes sense?

Yes, it makes perfect sense. Your desire to see a sequel is directly proportional to the good emotions you felt when leaving the theater for the previous installment a couple years before. I'm not joking. For example, I saw Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom in the Theater, but skipped Dominion because I was disappointed with Fallen Kingdom. I caught it on streaming. Haven't seen Rebirth Yet. And I own replicas of both Grant's Raptor Claw and the Barbasol can, so I'm an actual fan of the franchise.

Actually, the failure of The Rise of Skywalker, if a movie that made as much as it did can actually be called a failure, rest entirely with the fact that The Rise of Skywalker was a crappy movie. TRoS was easily the nadir of the franchise and far, far worse than The Last Jedi.

TLJ is a mixed bag. I would put the entirety of TROS over certain parts of TLJ.

I recall very much enjoying Jurassic World and didn't go to the theater.

Conversely, I enjoyed TLJ though mixed, and saw TROS in the theater.

Anecdotal but I don't go see a film because I liked the last one. Otherwise, ROTS would have been the last SW film I saw in theaters.
