Star Wars has a really frustrating relationship with its past. Since Disney bought the franchise, they've wildly fluctuated between bold new directions and dull retreads of familiar material. Legacy characters, concepts, and stories consistently infiltrate and weaken new narratives. That's not to say that every new entry needs to be totally unrecognizable, but Disney's current policies often make a potentially endless galaxy feel small and unimpressive. The current reaction to many Star Wars shows suggests that fans are more interested in new horizons, like The Mandalorian and Andor, and a little less interested in Jedi.
