Well, we finally have an official title for Star Wars: Episode IX...."Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker". It's an intriguing title, as which Skywalker will rise? Luke was apparently killed in the previous film. With Carrie Fisher no longer with us, it's difficult to imagine that it would be Leia. We'll just have to wait and see.
But with the release of the first trailer, it's great to see the return of Lando Calrissian. I wonder if he'll wind up being somehow related to Finn.
It's been announced that, after the release of this next film, Disney is putting Star Wars movies on hiatus for a while. I think that with the terrible returns for "Solo" and the less-than-expected revenue from "The Last Jedi", Disney realizes that there's a bit of Star Wars fatigue.
Still, we have one, more movie to anticipate. It should be a great film.

Maybe the going forward from this movie, the Jedi will be referred to as Skywalkers. If so, the title wouldn't necessarily be referring to any one person.

Yeah, it was great to see Billy Dee Williams again. I had hoped he'd be in "The Last Jedi" as Lando would have come to see his friends after hearing of Han's death. There must be some reason in the plot that someone else with experience needs to fly it with Rey otherwise busy.
You wonder if Snoke managed to survive in secret perhaps with the aid of some elaborate prosthesis like Vader (and Darth Maul in the animated series). There appears to be some evil surprise in store with the laughter of the Emperor at the end of the trailer.
