Remakes are nice but what about new Star Wars games? First person shooters, soulslike, roguelike, realtime strategy, 4X, flightsim, survival, city builders. A new Battlefront not by Dice/EA.
I love Star Wars for its stories, but I don’t think a SW reskin is that interesting. There are a few places where I could see it maybe working because the SW setting could justify additional gameplay elements (city - > star system builders with a heavy automation and trade components, sekiro-like).
Instead we need SW games that tell their own stories well in a modern format. That does not mean a KOTOR remake. The bioware format had its time, but a remake in the same style is going to feel dated by the time it comes out.
For some reason I don’t trust new Star Wars products to be good anymore with how much the tv/movies were a let down the longer it ran. And everything is afraid to not tie into the original trilogy.
So it’s one of those cases where I would prefer a remake.
I’ve found that I tend to agree, and I’ve only come to this conclusion relatively recently.
And looking back, with hindsight (and I’ll probably get downvoted for it), even the original trilogy wasn’t that great when you take off the nostalgia goggles.

But what about my inability to let go?? I want to play the same game FOREVER because I loved it as a kid! Remake remake remake!
New Rogue Squadron games ….
