Honestly, I always thought Star Wars would work as a Tales From the Crypt-style anthology, just pump out interesting happenings from across the galaxy as self-contained, 40-minute long episodes and put the meat on them massive bones! I bet one could pull off at least 3-4 12-episode series without even touching The Force.
Eeexactly! That ‘dynasty’s’ been going on for so long, it’s narratively ridiculous and boring.
Don’t get me wrong, despite what my initial comment may indicate, I would LOVE to see something which goes in depth into The Force’s philosophy, its spirituality, but that foregoes Skywalker Lightsaber Fight™ by its very nature… Actually, no, acceptable Skywalker Lightsaber Fight™ in the original episodes, because those moments were used to punctuate.
Well, the first time they e really gotten away from that dynasty has been Acolyte. Haven’t seen it yet, but judging by the discourse online this might be the last time they ever explore outside the skywalkers

Star Wars is at it’s best when it gets away from the godamn Skywalkers.
