“The Haggadah is the Way” has the potential to rival its older peers in its appeal to the masses of avid fans of “Star Wars.” (As one measure of the “Star Wars” fandom’s reach, “Rogue One” achieved a worldwide total of $1.057 billion in ticket sales and was ranked third on Deadline Hollywood’s list of 2016’s “Most Valuable Blockbusters.”)
