The new trailer was pretty bland.  Part of that is due to not wanting to give away the plot.  But I am worried all we get is a ROTJ reboot.

...and what is wrong with a new generation of Jedi?

The fact that it's not a creatively net new story, we've seen ROTJ give us something new. I'm fine with Force Awakens echoing ANH, but that can't be the same playbook for a series that wraps up the entire Skywalker sage (according to Disney's media blitz). 9 has to be unique to have any kind of satisfying conclusion.

Part of my complaint with TLJ was how it diminished and ruined Luke Skywalker as the ultimate hero and his triumph in the original trilogy....9 needs to rebuild that.

It seems like everything I hear and read is so universally negative going into this movie.

And he was happy with Parts 1, 2 & 3

III was fine.

Kathleen needs to go, if Favreau wants to create the future, he should be the guy.

This is exactly right. It's why there's so much skepticism going into this movie: they have to stick the landing on this while not looking like just a modern remix.

I don't put a lot of stock in the "test audiences hated it" reports largely because I don't think you screen Ep 9 at all, too many opportunities for leaks. The movie is going to be what it is.

I do agree that Kennedy needs to go, the Lucasfilm leadership has continually misunderstood the concerns/objections/complaints about the direction of the Skywalker saga and by and large that's resulted in them being antagonistic to the fanbase.

GL is a visionary but also flawed, the OT was so successful because he had a tremendous vision but also had collaborators that reigned in his worse instincts and/or fixed stuff he wasn't good at (ie dialog). IMO a lot of the "objections" to the PT were around GL being unrestrained (ie trying to produce an entirely digital movie before the technology was really ready, etc). Lucasfilm seemed to take that as the fanbase was generally unrealistic in expectations and so went it's own way and made the ST much more grey where SWs is largely outsized and black/white. Basically they got away from what made Star Wars, Star Wars.

All of Mando's buddies lined up against all of the other bounty hunters protecting baby Yoda.    A man-to-mandalorian defense.

Saw it last night.  Give it a 6.  Longer than needed to be.

...and so were the coming attractions, with a few commercials inserted in between, thought they would never end.

As for IX it was fine. For me it was basically just a retelling of VI with next generation characters. Hope that is not a spoiler and I'm sure some will disagree with my take of IX.
