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.
