While Harrison's study did not cover Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) or Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker  (2019), it seems likely that The Rise of Skywalker  might trend towards the 30%+ mark of the other films in the sequel trilogy while Solo might fall between Rogue One and Return of the Jedi  at 25-35% screen time given that its emphasis on the stories of Lando (Donald Glover), Han (Alden Ehrenreich), and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) is countered by Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke), Enfys Nest (Erin Kellyman), L3-37 (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), and Val Beckett (Thandiwe Newton). Harrison's study focuses on the movies from the Star Wars franchise, excluding the many episodes of animated and live-action TV which feature more female characters -- including Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, Bo-Katan Kryze, Omega, Fennec Shand, Mae and Osha, and many others -- over more minutes of screen time.
