After the battle of Hoth, we see Luke go to Dagobah to train with Yoda, meanwhile Leia, Han, Chewie and C-3PO are on the Millennium Falcon being chased by the entire imperial fleet… Meanwhile, where is the rebel fleet??? Where is the rest of the Rebel Alliance?
Considering how poorly the sequels trilogy handled your criticism of Empire Strikes Back; maybe it was a good thing. In The Last Skywalker, the rebel alliance is essentially paralyzed in fear and unable to respond - no daring raids, no freeing of slaves or imperial outposts, no additional recruiting. It's just "what do we do, what do we do?!"
Yeah, I wasn't knocking Empire Strikes Back, was just pointing out how small of a universe it is. Star Wars really is more of fantasy/mythology than Sci-Fi. The original movies do a pretty good job with the Hero's Journey, but that's about all they do right.
Fans have always argued about Boba Fett just being a character that looks cool with no personality or characterization but this same thing can be said for literally all the characters in the background minus the main cast and villain (Vader) and possibly Jabba the Hutt (and that's only cause he was mentioned briefly in ANH and ESB). We don't even know much about the Emperor in the old movies. Every side character is just some cool design that will look striking and cool, but it's a small universe as there was never really much focus put on fleshing that stuff out and adding life to it.
