Star Wars' universe, as the vast majority of media in the series pertains to various learning the rules of the Jedi, rising amongst their ranks, and dealing with the complexities that come from being the galaxy's protectors and peacekeepers.
It's safe to say without the Jedi and their opposition, the universe of Star Wars likely wouldn't have faced the widespread success it sees today. In the Jedi, viewers gained a sure - albeit complex - series of heroes, and in the Sith they gained complex villains. Had the series not made sure to hinge around an ancient struggle between good and evil, it would have lacked much of what made it so universally appealing.
However, given the sheer scale of success the franchise now boasts - and the level of deep-rooted interest viewers have in all corners of the series' galaxy - there are times when it can be seen to be actively held back by its own focus on the Jedi and Sith. Star Wars: Visions - while a decided treat for all types of viewers - emphasizes this, as for many the plot twists of later episodes become dangerously close to predictable when it becomes apparent that almost every episode will contain a Jedi, a Sith, and an epic battle. Of course, these moments are still fun and engaging, but for a series intended to (non-canonically) expand the universe further, using the Jedi and Sith so much actively undermines the sense of "fresh ground" that is this installment's greatest accomplishment.
This is likely a result of the more experimental nature of Star Wars: Visions at large, as an anime anthology may have looked like something of a gamble - and therefore sticking to the main conflict of Star Wars does make sense, as it alleviates some of the risk the company may have felt there was in making the show. Similarly, it's clear that the show uses the conflict between the Jedi and Sith as its tie through each episode, and it does create a greater sense of cohesivity between the often wildly different episodes. With Visions having proved an interest in further series along the same lines, there is greater potential for plots covering the varied and fascinating lives of those not involved in the universe's primary struggle, now that the formula has proved itself.
Similarly, the success of similar anthology series to Star Wars: Visions such as the MCU's What If?... is also sure to prove to Disney that a show that exploring more unusual areas of a popular franchise can still appeal to broad audiences. With so much time having gone into establishing the worlds of the MCU and Star Wars, there's significantly more room to play around with forgotten corners of the universes, and enjoy the reward of decades of worldbuilding. Installments like The Book of Boba Fett suggest the franchise may be beginning steps away from fixating on the Jedi and Sith, which - somewhat paradoxically - means it should become all the more exciting when one of the two groups does appear on the big or small screen.
