Not unpopular as in disagreed with, but simply not a common opinion I’ve seen stated anywhere:
More movies/shows should expand other parts of their worlds without necessarily involving the main themes or characters of the original media.
For instance, I want to see attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion or c-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. Explore the off-world colonies. It doesn’t necessarily need to involve androids or the question of what it means to be human.
The series wasn’t great, but the idea of merging Blade Runner and Total Recall in Total Recall 2070 was interesting.
The Mandalorian’s earliest episodes until the Season 1 finale are a great example of this concept.
