Why is it surprising that it may be one of his favorite movies ever? Do you think a favorite movie has to be some compelling drama of some sort in order to qualify? I don't get it.
It's weird to me that people act like TFA wasn't massively well-regarded by a lot of people. That movie was popular as hell not only because it was the return of Star Wars but also because people really fucking liked it.
Episode IX.
I've thought for a long time that we would only be able to truly judge the new trilogy once all 3 of them are out. Episode IX can be a good movie in its own right but also do the previous 2 - particularly TLJ - some favours.

Yeah I agree, but what I'm saying is that it could be The Room and it would still be perfectly fine it to be someone's favorite movie.
The Last Jedi made 1.3 billion worldwide. So, yes, people are excited about mainline Star Wars.
Got bored with MCU several years ago.
Episode VII was okay, but VIII made me lose all interest in Star Wars.
I guess that leaves GoT.

It's going to be such a tough balancing act...
-have to deal with Leia/Carrie Fisher's absence
-who the hell is in charge of the First Order now?
-does Luke come back as a force ghost?
-Rose and Finn. What's going on there?
-Snoke? Anyone? Snoke?
-Lightsaber from episode VII? What about Maz? What's going on with her?
I'll probably disagree with some things, be happy with others, but in the end, Johnson left behind a pretty big mess to mop up, and I say that as someone who quite likes TLJ.
Avengers Endgame for me. It has nothing to do with Endgame being so close, I felt the same way last year. Marvel has done a great job of getting me invested in the MCU.
After that probably Game of Thrones. I have my doubts the books will ever be finished so it will be nice to get some kind of closure.
Star Wars is last. All of the Disney Star Wars movies have had problems (TFA being way too much of a remake of ANH, Rogue One having a mess of a first act, TLJ being this crazy combination of stuff I like and stuff I don't like at all, and Solo being unnecessary) . JJ Abrams has also had problems coming up with satisfying conclusions to stories in his past projects so I have my doubts about this one as well. My company has rented out a theater for all the Disney Star Wars movies so far (besides Solo) so I'll go see it but I'm just not feeling it. I'm glad Disney is pumping the breaks on Star Wars after Episode 9, I hope they come back with better movies.

I have about the same level of basic, mild interest in all of them—enough that I will see all of them at or soon after release, anyway. I'm probably looking forward to GoT the most, I guess, mostly because my wife loves it so much and I'll enjoy watching it with her.
Star Wars is kind of intriguing, not because I expect it to be amazing or anything, but just because I can't really tell which way they'll go with the story after the way Last Jedi concluded things. (Rey develops into some new kind of Jedi and defeats Kylo Ren, I guess will probably be the broad strokes, so maybe not that intriguing after all. We'll see.)

Star Wars all the way. Got bored with marvel movies after the first two or three? Never watched GOT
Nothing truly ends anymore.
GoT will return to TV in some form.
They will be doing other GoT series, but as far as this particular story goes, that's the end. We're not going to see "the continuing adventures of Dany and Jon" after this season, so it's a perfect jumping-off point unless the prequel series is really good.
I figured as much. This is along the lines of how I saw it.
Game of Thrones is almost unhealthy for me to watch, so much anxiety. Not ready.
Rian Johnson is working on a trilogy but it's not focused on the Skywalkers.
GoT. We know mostly what is going to happen in Endgame. Star Wars doesn't seem much different... Rey is going to defeat Kylo... meh.. GoT though? Who fucking knows what will happen. The good guys could win or lose. Anyone could die. Beyond the first episode or two, all plot armor is gone. Going to be a wild ride.
GoT And Avengers is Day 1 for me.
I'm not even gonna see IX until after I've read some spoilers and decide if its worth my money, otherwise I'll just wait for it to show up on premium cable.

Star Wars Episode IX without question.
I feel like I already kinda know how Avengers and GoT are gonna end:
People fucking die.
Plus I already know that Spider Man comes back, so....
Plus honestly, I'm not feeling much excitement for those two.
But Episode IX is really a wildcard. What happens with Kylo Ren and Rey? Does Ben get killed for good? That's honestly something I don't think I can predict.

Star Wars EP 9 all the way!
It's my ride or die franchise. Even when it's shit, I still love it.

Yeah, it's going to be nuts. No clue how anyone would have handled following up on what Johnson left behind. So many unanswered questions and challenging story decisions. How they handle Leia in particular is a big one for me.

Yup and I think that's why I put it number one. I've heard some pretty solid theories about what will habben in endgame. Season 8 I haven't heard a ducking peep. They can go happy or fuck it the night king killed everyone and owns the throne now
I can't help but be excited about Endgame even though I've kind of burnt out on watching MCU movies, at least in theaters. The problem is we already pretty much know what's going to happen. I saw the snap in Infinity War and it and was just like wow, can't wait for this to be undone in two hours. It's the end of an era but we all know how it will shake out.
Game of Thrones is robbing the book of its conclusion (well George did that to himself) but it is also doing it in a terrible way. If it had maintained its quality throughout I would've been way more excited but, man, some of those scenes in later seasons hurt so much. Just let me watch seasons 1-3 on repeat.
For Star Wars, I liked The Last Jedi but I also think it was a mistake to have multiple directors doing one trilogy. It needed one consistent vision and style. I'm still really interested to see where these characters go. It's the only one of these where I'm actually not that sure where everyone will end up. It's the biggest wildcard which makes it the most interesting and we've also seen the least of it. No trailers, no title, just a poster maybe.

Yeah, nothing at all groundbreaking about successfully bringing the serialized comic format to the big screen over the the span of 10+ years. Interlinking dozens of character's and stories from multiple individual franchises - That's been done to death. /s
Yeah many of the MCU movies are forgettable. The SW movies don't exactly have an amazing track record in terms of quality beyond of the original trilogy.
I'm not super hyped for any of them really but I'll say End Game since GOT has gotten so bad and I just don't really care about Star Wars anymore.
Considering I don't watch game of thrones and I have stopped being invested in Star Wars years ago, Avengers by default.
Most excited for game of thrones. Avengers I don't have to see opening weekend, and I don't care about Star Wars
It's fine to have multiple directors, and to let them put their own mark on it. There should have been one clear vision though. They should have had a basic story arc plotted out.
Star Wars is showing up as a distant third place for me. You're seething them all even?
