Anyone else with me?

No.

The reason for most of those other series reboots is because the series themselves became absolutely horrible under multiple directors.  Just look at Batman for a prime example.  The first one was pretty good.  The second one wasn't quite as good, but it was still bearable.  Then enter Joel Schumacher.  The series became completely horrid.  Val Kilmer and George Clooney were horrible as Batman.  The suit became a total joke (anyone remember all the nipple jokes?).  They gave him two tries and the second one was even worse then the first.  The only way to resurrect it at that point was to fire him and then hire people who loved the comics and wanted to bring that feel back to the movies.  Enter Christopher Nolan.

Star Trek has become pretty similar, but not nearly as bad.  Again, they just needed some fresh blood and some people who are huge fans of the originals.

Star Wars doesn't need a reboot of the originals.  It needs a reboot of the prequels.  But that will only happen with a different director and it would end up being a Fan Film at that point anyway.
