7 Star Wars Games Without Jedi We'd Like to Play
When EA bought the Star Wars license in 2014, I was sure the brand would be squeezed like a lemon. In the meantime, I still feel they haven't realized a fraction of its potential.

Bounty Hunter Cry
The fact that we haven't yet got an open-world Star Wars shooter is a real scandal. The most obvious idea is to cast a bounty hunter as the main protagonist of such a game. It's a perfect match for sandbox gameplay. Let's imagine that the Hutt Cartel has a big job for us. We're going to a planet where the Empire is now establishing its rule. We arrive on the scene, contact the local resistance, and begin to eliminate the high-ranking officers of the Empire.
Over time, of course, we will have to choose whether we care more about ordinary people and their lost cause or the original task – protecting the dirty interests of the Hutts, which are also harming the locals. Either way, there would be numerous spontaneous battles with stormtrooper patrols, attacks on convoys, and sometimes even a quick flight to another planet / moon / space base. How about a mission aboard a destroyer hovering over the city? Plus, from time to time, we could take an order from the Empire, because credits are credits.
Personally, I would see here gameplay inspired by Far Cry and my beloved Sniper Elite series (I admit, I only fell in love with it after the third game). However, it would not hurt to reach for some solutions from Hitman as well.
