Personally I would prefer a trooper game of some sort. I don't think there's enough of those out there. Or at least an option to NOT be a lightsaber-swinging, force-wielding character. While I do admit that aforementioned lightsaber-swinging and force-wielding is unique to Star Wars (in its own way), CERTAIN PEOPLE ( <- ) prefer blasters to hokey religions.
And I always dream of a massive, probably-impossible open-galaxy singleplayer RPG, but that's just me.
It could be an interesting addition to the Star Wars games. Maybe just not for me, personally. Time will tell.
