I know of a storyline that will make Star Wars much more interesting: After Luke and Han have a falling out over his incestuous relationship with Leia, he gets very depressed and goes over to the dark side. Leia becomes an alcoholic and Han leaves with Chewie and crashes his Millenium Falcon into the wreckage of yet another death star. Meanwhile the Empire experiments with democracy and ends up electing a president who crowns himself another emperor. Out goes all the fairy tale bullshit and in come real characters with real emotions and difficult decisions. And some side role is reserved for a scientist who finally explains how FTL travel and light sabers work.
