They certainly can and quite possibly will. Everyone seems very stuck in the past discussing this film franchise. In 10 years there will be 2X as many new Star Wars films in circulation as compared to pre 2003. There are endless possibilities and Disney owns a studio charged with making films. The Avengers: Infinity War is the 19th Marvel film. Think about it.

Well I for one hold the opinions of tweens and other snowflakes in high regard.

Lol, you really missed the point. Outside of this echo chamber this film is being savaged by original SW fans at least 60/40 who have zero interest in seeing it. It's all too apparent that NU Star Wars is targeting younger audiences for their stories. When you are getting this reaction from the younger age group...your film is not going to do so well.
Here's an idea Disney and Lucasfilm!
Don't make any more movies with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, or Princess Leia in them. It's clear you have no understanding, love or respect for them as characters.
Just make Star Wars movies that have nothing to do with them. Set them in other parts of the galaxy, or another time period. Try doing something new with an entirely new cast that has nothing to do with the Rebellion/ Empire conflict.
Maybe then people will be on board.
AND STOP INSULTING YOUR FAN BASE. You might win some of them back just by curbing the attitude.

They've already ruined Luke and Leia for me. They can't do much more to ruin their character arcs.

They probably want to keep Alden in the dark so that he kinda looks like Harrison Ford.
Good decision.

I've been saying this for years, but nobody believes it'll happen. But, after TLJ, anything goes.
Gotta kill the past, ya' know.
There is a HUGE "behind the curtain" process we never see. Before official casting, the number of scenes all these actors go through with each other hoping to find that perfect balance between personalities, whether one combo of actors compliments another, will a no name actor work well against an established actor, etc. must be mind numbing! I'm giving the movie and all the actors a fair chance. I just WANT the story to be fun and NOT in my face PC.
Plus, I'm a HUGE Falcon fan so it will be fun to see her (I say her because she's DEF a defined and important SW character) origins and how she winds up looking the way she does.
But, SofaKing, don't forget, there's a curtain behind the curtain. It's called nepotism. Spielberg made a phone call to KK, and the fix was in.

I've been against this movie from day one, but I'm loving the look of the movie (although it looks way too dark and moody). And it's always great to see some classic Imperial troops and ships on the screen again.
I liked Rogue One for all that and because it looked more like Star Wars than the new trilogy does, imo. But the story was kinda blah along with most of the characters. (I'm looking at you, in particular, Jyn Erso.)

Does that help you to enjoy them? Taking the pressure off to need them to live up to the holy trinity of the OT?

I suppose somewhat, it's not a conscious decision I made, just the way my brain views them. Even the prequels never jived in my head with the OT. R1 is probably the most enjoyable alternate SW I've seen, probably because it didn't try to bring in major characters we already knew except Tarkin (look away!) and Vader (I thoroughly enjoyed that).
The idea of telling Han's back story is a cool idea but I still look at it as fanfiction, I might be able to enjoy it because of that but I don't have any plans to see it in the theater.
