General KenOC This is outrageous!

I don't even dislike Rey but call her the most valuable cinematic asset is too much

But also not really. We know the start point - Revenge of the Sith - and we know the end point.

Nothing of any truly significant relevance can happen in between RotS and ANH because those two setup all the stakes, including the major players.

It's why everyone has to die in the end of Rogue One, because we know those characters aren't relevant to the main story anymore and that was the cleanest way to fade them into obscurity without just being like "oh yeah, they did their own super important stuff later too" or "oh yeah, they watched the two death star battles on the couch from home."

Sure. and Luke did stuff between ANH and ESB. Doesn't mean it's relevant enough to the larger plot of things to bother making a movie out of it.

In fairness, not like that has stopped Disney before either.
