Pretty well, I'd say - $306 million box office vs $40 budget; Oscar nomination for best original screenplay; 97% critic, 92% audience at Rotten Tomato; sequel has been greenlit.

"Scheduling" could very well be cited if LFL or Disney deems a personnel change is warranted. If Rian Johnson's availability is called into question because of a Knives Out sequel? Oh well!
I think TLJ was great. It challenged the audience which I thought was a good thing, and I found it refreshing. But just as much as I found that movie really broke some new ground and defied story expectations, there were a lot of fans who wanted a story that would make them feel more comfortable. I don't see Rian Johnson as that kind of filmmaker who wants to appease an audience.
Dave:
I hope if they green light something for Rian Johnson that its off on its own a bit from the existing Star Wars characters.
I really like his movies, except for TLJ. His creativity is fantastic, but I didn't think he did a good job of fitting in with the existing Star Wars lore very well.

I'm just now considering that Canto Bight was mix of the Cantina and Cloud city. TLJ is almost reverse ESB with a fancy setting that is above it all near the start of the movie and a big ground battle at the end.
