An open world, create your own character Star Wars game, hands down. That shit would be fucking amazing.
Star wars knights of the old republic is kind of that.
Its the closest we have!
itd be so cool if you could be a jedi or sith but also choose not to and just be a regular farmer or something, or a smuggler
I feel like the MMO Star Wars Galaxies was close to it. Some people didn't fight at all. They just were entertainers, or medics, or just made items to sell. Every thing was uniquely made. Some sellers sold stuff like crazy because their quality was so good, others struggled to make a living off of it. It was so nuanced.
And there were very very very very few jedi. I mean, I think I saw a couple in the entirety of the game after years of playing. There were very specific things each character had to do to even unlock the possibility (and no one knew what their unique unlock was). And they couldn't easily go into cities...bounty hunters would be alerted that there was a sighting.
You could build cities with your guild and your own houses, store all your gear there. Your city could grow and you could have shops in it that people could stop by, or you could build a transport center in your city and people could use it to travel around the planet.
Your faction was based on what you did, not a pre-destined thing you chose in your character creation. Some people stayed neutral, and others went down one path or another.
It was honestly, still to this day, the best game I've ever played.

There are multiple private servers still operating for it with updates and changes.

Some have even a few hundred concurrent online users at a time.
wow, im almost glad i wasnt old enough to play that when it came out, because it looks like a game that would have taken over my life completely lol. that is insane and ive never even heard of it before
Its actually still available through private servers. The graphics aren't terrible considering it's age, but it's definitely not up to modern standards.
