Someone really needs to not bring back Firefly, but make a space Western that is a Western in the way that the Last of Us franchise is a zombie Western - as in, less focus on "must have literal cows" and more the mythic tropes

True! But Star Wars also is basically its own genre now, and sadly no one reads original character fanfic, so I can't write my revisionist Western/neo-noir Star Wars Old Republic story even though I super want to

I think there's too much military stuff in Star Wars for it to be a western. A New Hope has more in common with 633 Squadron than for example High Noon.

ANH switches from Western to WWII movie halfway through, which is why the second paintball episode in Community is a two-parter that does the same thing

It's all space Westerns. Boba Fett's color scheme was deliberately based on the Man with No Name. Star Trek was originally pitched as "Wagon Train in Space" and Roddenberry had been a writer on Have Gun - Will Travel. Except Farscape. It's based on the Australian bondage scene.

I like that the idea of the "Star Wars cantina" is so iconic it pushed Disney to reverse longstanding policy going back to Uncle Walt himself and have the Galaxy's Edge cantina serve real alcohol

I mean really you just can't set up something that looks like a fictional bar and have it just sell sodas Nobody would stand in line and pay theme park prices for that shit
