The narrative spins in the new Disney canon often serve to elevate newer characters like Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor while diminishing the significance of the original heroes. Critics point out that Rogue One leans heavily on nostalgia but also appropriates elements from the extended universe—such as the character Kyle Katarn—remaking them into new characters that seem disconnected from the original lore.
This reinterpretation extends into comic book stories—such as those in Bounding Into Comics—that suggest Luke Skywalker's heroics are almost meaningless by comparison. Such portrayals aim to devalue the actions of legendary characters in favor of newer stories that often lack the depth and complexity fans cherished.
