How about...the galaxy was united against being ruled by the fear of the evil Empire, but in the safety of peace, the unity borne of being terrorised has dissipated over the course of forty years, and far from the unity of being afraid, self interest has arisen, as former powerful systems have sought to regain former glories. Rather than respecting the acts of those such as Luke Skywalker, etc, they are relics of an age gone by, and damagingly for Skywalker's efforts to rebuld the Jedi Knighthood, rumour and spite has the galaxy questioning whether the son of anakin skywalker, the hero of the republic who ended up murdering children and helping the emperor terrorise those who surivived the clone wars for decades, is really the moral centre the galaxy requires...
All to come out as snide asides after we join the story as the bad feleling against the skywalkers and the heroes has reached its peak, steps are being taken to capture and question those who are (according to forty years of growing forgetfulness for the galaxy of the truth) at the centre of all that happened and may even have been part of the terror of the past.The 'Wars' this time are borne of the self interest of the constituent systems, not because a single entity of interest is seeking to rule.
Reason for the characters to band together, run, and be pursued, givng Solo, for example the chance to say things like 'Remember the good old days? Looks like they're back...
Not everyone makes it through the first half of the first film, the un-trusted jedi order can't keep the peace in a galaxy where not every inhabitant of every world, and even everybody who has complete of partial jedi training really believes in the ideal of the jedi order keeping the peace. Protecting us? From whom? Protecting us from what?
The Whom/What emerges over the course of the trilogy as planets side with those that share their interests and as such, huge blocs of systems of opposing interests and alliances lead the galaxy into a massive war, because an attack on anyone is considered an attack on all their allies,
Heroes rise in war. So do villains, Those who wish to rule, seek to rule. The ultimate expression of rule is dictatorship and by the final film an quasi empire has developed and the fractured jedi order, having done it;s best to survive and grow while being on it's guard, often on the run from distinctive looking system to distinctive looking system to system to survive, must face the equivalent of sith (or actual sith) elements at the heart of this quasi empire that has arises not out of the evil intent of an individual and cohort, but the dark side inherent in all living beings, who, from their point of view are doing the right thing for them and theirs, and defending them and theirs from those who are not them, or theirs.
A ramble, followed by random dialogue, pre duel popping into my head..
Every civilisation requires a head, son of Skywalker...specifically, yours, as evidence of my loyalty and servitude to the interests of the new order, unfettered by the confused loyalties of those clinging to a past you are the living embodiment of. But not for much longer, boy....
