Not really, because they'd be "minor" characters. Their mission wouldn't be the kind where the fate of the galaxy is at stake, and thus you could pass them over without much thought.
For example, the Rebel soldiers on Hoth. They had a "mission" to complete. Some of them survived. But because they were just minor characters, there was no real worry about making sure that they appeared in RotJ.
The only characters that usually warrant a mention in any subsequent movies/games are the main ones, or the ones most responsible for the "big" moment (such as Wedge Antilles was, even though he wasn't a "main" character).
