It’s always been a space opera whether he called it that or not. It’s big and often absurd without any actual science fiction elements. A space station that can destroy an entire planet = operatic. This saga stuff reeks of a desperate attempt to force (huhuh) some sense of congruity between the OT and the prequels.
