I really think what would help more than a reboot is just a hibernation period for Star Wars. One of things that prevented the franchise from getting too over-saturated to an audience was that it more or less went quiet from 84-91. As it is we've had an explosion of material for 20 years now from a multitude of comics, endless books, a cavalcade of games, 3 of the original films re-released in theaters, 4 new movies over 9 years, with 6 movies to be re-released in 3D, and two television shows, with another on its way.

Now its never going to happen because there's way too much of a cottage industry to pretty much everything Star Wars related now, but in an ideal world there would be a period where the franchise could effectively step away for a bit, recharge its batteries, and maybe when it comes back, a new creative force could oversee it.

Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Doctor Who, Rambo, and Tron all come to mind.
