I've read exactly 2 Star Wars books in my life and I read them when these books were first published.
The first was "Star Wars: From The Adventures of Luke Skywalker" (second edition 1977)
The second was "Splinter Of The Minds Eye: From The Further Adventures of Luke Skywalker" (first edition 1978)
So no, I didn't.
What I wanted was for Rey to be Luke (or Leia's) daughter (sans British accent of course) and a continuation of their family saga. I wanted TPTB as well as the directors to understand what they had been handed and worked to present a coherent, trilogy wide story. There should've been someone like Fiege with the power to guide the trilogy so that we didn't get one director setting things up, only for the next director to come in, want to make his own mark on things and just shit all over the things that were set up in the first movie. Then the original guy comes back and shits on the previous guy, and makes a film that looks like something ChatGPT created. I mean, these guys weren't handed just any old film series. It's literally one of the most important in motion picture history. And after all the Prequel hate, they knew they had to knock it out of the park. Force Awakens got by on memberberries, the rest just on name. Which is a shame because they had a great cast with the best chemistry since the originals.
I like Rey, Finn, Poe, and Rose. Coulda done without BB8 because I remember reading, I think in the Time magazine that came out when Empire came out, that Threepio and R2 were the only characters with any sizable roles in all 9 movies. So didn't like that they weren't as prominent as they should've been. So no, aside from wishing that Rey was Luke or Leia's daughter, I don't really have any ideas of the story I would've liked to see. Just something that felt more cohesive and less half assed that had it's own story to tell without "rebels vs empi....I mean First Order" dynamics and another Death Star (but bigger!) weapon. The PT was able to tell it's own unique story with Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda, the ST should've been able to do the same. And no, I did not want a film that was about Luke and the gang in their older years. Their screen time and importance to the story should've been no more than Obi-Wan's and Yoda's in the OT. The ST is not Luke, Leia or Han's story any more as it should be.
Aside from that desire from the ST, I don't really care what's done in other Star Wars films like Rogue One / Solo or in the various tv shows. Let those be experimental in tone, cinematography etc. The 9 film Saga was not the place for that.
I'm happy that Daisy Ridley is coming back for a new movie featuring Rey. Don't know if it's a stand alone or a trilogy or what. If the latter, for fuck's sake give this woman the trilogy she deserves. Make sure there's one guiding vision and hand behind it.
