- write da OT characters respectfully and true to characterization
Then there's no point in an ST at all and especially no need for new characters. The OT characters would've been able to stop the First Order on their own and not need anyone. The OT portrayed them as Ultimate Heroes after all, and if they remain Ultimate Heroes then they'd handle the ST on their own.
- share da spotlight
Like I said, the OT characters would've dealt with everything and not need any help. Unless they didn't, and if they didn't then they're no longer the OT characters.
This is an inevitability when you do a story set AFTER a "And they all lived Happily Ever After, the end".
- keep da new characters grounded in da mythos and lore
The Mythos and Lore ended with ROTJ, the only way new characters would fit into that would be to make them incompetent useless sidekicks that the OT characters wouldn't need. And even THEN the only way they could ever become anything CLOSE to leads is by Episode 9...or 12...or 15. Basically put it off as long as possible.
Dats mostly why da ST is criticized
Because the OT characters couldn't deal with the First Order on their own and new characters were there to take over. And these new characters weren't introduced as useless sidekicks but independent characters in their own right.
