Lu and Agito only appear briefly in SSX (and can be cut there), and then a bit more (but still minor) in Vivid. And Graham was referenced a couple of times in StrikerS, so he wasn't totally gone. Regius mentioned him, and Hayate had pictures of him in her scrapbook. So, even minor references in future installments can be cut.
Plus, one of the fears Lu had, was that Zest would be gone soon, and she had a feeling Agito would leave as well, leaving her alone. It was that fear that Quattro availed herself of, to make her Lu-puppet dance.
On another note, to fill in these gaps, they would most likely expand Fate's role, since she was apparently familiar with Jail prior to StrikerS. Making it more about Fate taking down an arch-nemesis, then anything else. Which, granted, I would like to see that part of her past expanded, but I'm filled with a bit of dread now.
