Since I already know that the sad and pathetic haters will already try to use the excuse that the ST "flopped" because financially if each film makes less than the one that came before (assuming tRoS under-performs TLJ), I thought I'd add some context, reaching the % change between each film of each trilogy:
(All numbers are total worldwide grosses)
OT
A New Hope $775,398,007
The Empire Strikes Back $538,375,067 (30.5 decrease)
Return of the Jedi $475,106,177 (11.7% decrease)
PT
The phantom Menace $1,027,044,677
Attack of the Cones $649,398,328 (36.7% decrease)
Revenge of the Sith $848,754,768 (30.6% increase)
ST
The Force Awakens $2,068,223,624
The Last Jedi $1,332,539,889 (35.5% decrease)
The Rise of Skywalker
(will try to remember to update this when the movie's box office run ends)
The only movie so far (edit: within a trilogy) to make more than the one that came before was RotS.
