The Skywalker saga ended with episode 9. The second Star Wars film by J.J. Don't answer Abrams, however. First of all, how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren and thus the master of the Knights of Ren.
In fact, many fans afterwards criticized that the fall of Ben Solo and the rise of Kylo Ren was the story that should have told – or at least not completely ignored, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.
