He may have been important in volume 1 but JNPR has never been more than secondary main characters, and for them to rise to being the main characters would feel wrong. The story isn't about them. While Jaune would have a tremendous amount of character growth, it would not be satisfying because he is not the hero. He can become a hero, but he cannot be the savior of Remnant.

While Ruby, Nora, Jaune, and Ren will be a focus of volume 4, WBY will most likely have their own focus. I doubt they will fall far enough to the wayside for JNR to surpass them in importance.

I suppose the SEWs could be connected to Artemis and her hunters, but I don't like the idea of this connection having more importance to Ruby than her own allusion. As it is the characters' allusions aren't meant to influence what happens to them beyond some small references here and there. I doubt some secondary connection would affect the plot as much as you're suggesting.

In the Directors' Commentary for ep. 1 vol. 1: "101.Kerry: Yeah one day, one day {Monty- Shoutout} Monty just kinda came up and was like 'What if the moon is broken?' And I was like 'Ok'.

102.Miles: When it's, yeah, when it's a crescent moon it's not the dark side of the moon it's just that the moon is kinda broken that way and were like 'yeah that sounds great'."

It seems like Monty just thought that it would look cool if the moon was broken. He very much seems to be a main character especially in the upcoming Volume. The only time he felt more like a secondary charcter was Volume 2. Except it's perfect. Jaune doesn't seem like the hero now but he will grow into that hero over the next Volume(s). The whole Ruby dying and Jaune's power being revealed is his final push from hero to saviour.

WBY probably won't be that much of a focus because what they are doing isn't as important as RNJR. Yang will probably be mopeing until she finds a solution to her problem. While it may be interesting to see Atlas through Weiss' eyes, there probably won't be a large amount of stuff to show in a militant society, unless there is something hidden in Atlas. The only one worth seeing full time will probably be Blake as she'll probably go after the White Fang and Adam, which may lead to Cinder and even Salem.

Oh they could. Just could. I only provided multiple connections all linking back to the Silver Eyed Warriors but it is only a could. Sorry. Anyway the charcter's inspiration most likely will  influence the story. Case in point, Cinder. It is implyed that Cinder's past may be similar in ways to her counterpart, Cinderella.

Even with that real life explaination, there has to be a canon reason why the moon is broken/breaking.
