George in a lot of ways was playing action figures in an imaginative fleshed out universe that was a mix of westerns, wartime dramas and flash gordon influences.
Disney's SW has turned it into something else entirely that just doesn't capture the same spirit or imagination.

I think that ship sailed a decade ago.
