They should have filmed it as one year long group of sessions and done retouch, re-shoot and filler after each release. Then the trilogy could have been an annual week of Christmas event. Though if the standalones have issues attracting the audience like the main story they can add things later to main story that are resolved in the standalones based on fan reaction.

2017 is long, and i'm not even interested in Rogue One

Episode VIII actually comes out May 2017! :D

yeah i know, but you can still have a more epic fight scene at the end, like have more over the top light saber fights. If you compare this to star wars 1 - 3 the fight scenes in this new movie is weak. I won't compare it to 4-6 because those movies had worce technology and at that time it was great. The sith in this movie looks weak compared to darth maul og any of the other siths. I'm okay with a female jedi, but make her look strong in the next installments, make her look as strong as anakin was becoming, only then we will se something awesome.

Honestly, I expect a time skip and it focusing on after Luke trained her. It set itself up nicely for that but if they do show it though, on a positive note, they'll probably also show Kylo's training which would be interesting to see how they add Sith training into the canon material.
