   Currently, no.   
      
   It was a better movie because the talentless hack JarJar Abrams had far   
   less involvement ... same with the earlier 'Rogue One' movie. The big   
   issue with JarJar Abram's "continuation" movies is that they're NOT   
   actual conintuations - they're really just lazy rehashes / reboots of   
   George Lucas' original movies. Episode IX is rumoured to have a big   
   sequence that is bascially a rip-off of Episode VI's Jabba Sail Barge   
   battle. The dweeb has absolutely zero creative ability.  :-\
