If the same characters (like Obi-Wan) keep popping up, then Star Wars will inevitably become more of a soap opera and less of a space opera.
Not everything can be about characters with connections to the Skywalker or Solo families, and the folks behind the Star Wars saga need continue embracing the new over the old.
Sure, it may have ended with all of them getting blown to smithereens, but Rogue One: A Star Wars Story deserves all of the credit that it can get for bringing new characters into the fold.
Even with Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin present, it still managed to level most of its focus on franchise newcomers like Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor.
