Not even the original creator displays this. And he's the only one with the license.

Honestly, back when I had any traces of hope lingering, I considered the live action as a form of reboot of the OT story. It could've been told from a different perspective, side-stories of minor heroes (pilots, spies, smugglers, slicers, you-name-them) caught in the galactic Civil War. If X-Wing and Dark Forces games fared so well, why couldn't we have a TV series like that? Why for the last 15 years anything SW-related has to include some idiot running in bathrobe and with some neon-sword?

Examples? You want something modern, catchy? A story about a young rebellious (pun intended) slicer [that's hacker for us] surfing the Holonet [that's Internet for us], nearly caught by Imperial Security Bureau, saved and recruited by rebel intelligence? Surely such cyberpunkish thing wouldn't generate interest, right? Riiight...
