Well, in part it is "a good guy did it" but that supports a story which puts the Rebels in a corner, a very shadowy corner, where they are desperate while also presenting the Empire as a poorly oiled machine, with backstabbing and credit stealing while also having an insufficient grasp of their massive project to have anyone (or a willingness to take the time to) have a substantial review of the plans to account for catastrophic design flaws.

So, I'll agree that I hope they don't go through and chase after every minor reference or detail that wasn't given great details (I think there are way more interesting stories to get to in SW) I don't think that RO doesn't bring anything to the table. That's without getting into its philosophical considerations of The Force or the muddying of waters between the Empire and the Rebels with the pursuant conflict. Though those muddy waters have always been one of my favorite parts of SW.
