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.
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.
I mean, I would love either a Soderbergh or Fincher Star Wars film. But I also get LFL's denial of Fincher for final cut. It is THEIR franchise. Not Fincher's. If he wants to play with their toys, one would think he has to play by their rules.
Yeah, MGM isn't even allowing a director like Villeneuve final cut on a James Bond film.
Exactly. And for good reason. It's the same reason I don't want Quentin Tarantino coming anywhere near Star Trek, as much as I admire Tarantino's work.
Rejecting movies from FIncher and Sodenbergh I think is a good example why the franchise is in so much trouble. They need to bring in top notch talent and let them do their thing.
Nope.
No director gets carte blanche, and that should have applied to Lucas as well.
It's the same reason I don't want fans entirely in charge. Both are unwilling to cut out material they're attached to.
Exactly.
It's absurd to think a director gets their own way with any franchise.

The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson given full creative freedom on his new Star Wars trilogy
With a franchise as tightly run as Star Wars, you would think that Lucasfilm painstakingly plans out every story detail themselves. However, when it comes to director Rian Johnson, he seemingly gets to let loose in their sci-fi sandpit.

And...?
His name is on the company...
Still absurd. Art benefits from limitations.

The answer will be off the charts!
Didn’t we go through this last year? I mean, she and Kurtzman have been about to retire or be fired for a decade now.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I hope not. For the reasons cited above
