   Because ANH has the same characters as RO, wherein all died? That doesn't   
   make any sense. ANH is a sequel in that in follows chronologically, but there   
   could have been a sequel to RO that happens after ANH, or concurrently with   
   it. If the characters survived RO (which, I think it's a good thing they   
   didn't) and we see the Battle of Yavin from their perspective, or see their   
   part of it. That would also be a sequel to RO.
