if Lucas were a better writer or the franchise wasn't owned by Disney, I'd love for the Star Wars universe to more deeply explore the socioeconomic systems at play in the Republic
The books did that. Like the Hutt Empire, and especially those aliens who came in from outside the galaxy, using biotech. Some really top shelf sci-fi authors too.
George Lucas himself overwrote all of that when he resumed his filmmaking, so it's not just Disney that was making it unpopular for people to more deeply care about that fictional universe setting.
