You really need to wait for a spin off because all the Star Wars films are Jedi centred that's what they are.
The OT wasn't. It was character-centered. One of them just happened to be a Jedi-in-training. Luke was a hero on a journey, but his wasn't the only story going on.
The toys and games that sell the most are Jedi and starfighter based, the Kenner Falcon was cool but did you try pretending to fight space battles with a heavy plastic tray in two hands?
Based on what, exactly, are you making this claim? The Lego stuff sells huge, and that's a LOT of spaceships and vehicles. There are jedi characters, but it's not giant lightsabers that people are building.
And all the kids in my street have lightsabers not laser guns, this is eight years after the last Star Wars movie (one of the crap ones I may add).
Yep, the Clone Wars is popular with little kids; that sells lightsabers. When I was a kid we all had the plastic lightsaber toy and never played with it. But you should've seen how beat up our Han and Stormtrooper blasters were.
You make a movie that's about non-Jedi, and guess what? People are interested in playing with non-Jedi toys. Your argument (and it is an argument, an opinion, not fact--despite how you present it) is based on a flawed concept: "It is the way it is now because it always has been." That's patently untrue.
