Yea its the beginning and center of the universe and everything spins off or leads to that story. The best thing the Skywalker saga does imo is leaving so much of its world and characters to build on. An entire Mandalorian society and lore has been built over the years based solely on the popularity of Boba Fett, a character that is barely in the original trilogy but was loved by fans. Knights of the Old Republic is one of my favorite Star Wars stories and that has very little to do with the Skywalkers because of how far in the past its set. Thats part of my hope for all of these High Republic stories, but im sure Disney will find someway to get a Skywalker in there.Yes and no. You know what I mean... even something like Rogue One is an explanation of a single line in the Star Wars Saga. High Republic stories set the stage for how the Empire came to be which is integral to the Skywalker Saga. The Skywalker Saga is set up as a prophecy of old, it’s a central plot point in the entire universe.
it’s like saying the best Marvel stories have nothing to do with someone like Reed Richards or the best DC with someone like Superman... the very existence of those universes are tied to those stories...
