 Is there too many wars lately?
Then, when the war is finally over, we get a new weapon set in the same cutscene (Galanoth/E ones, but the War for Battleon that got the new town was just a bunch of monsters in a row...) from a previous war.
The thing is that wars have little meaning since we have no way of failing and if we are taking to long the staff just pulls out some sort of deus ex machina to finish it up.
Too many, and too many, is too often, so less time between wars, means less time for the staff to think of new enemies and stuff, I think that the staff should make it less often and add a monster or 2 each war, so they'll have about 3-4 weeks for thinking and coding.

Personally, I love "Star Wars" because I've always wanted to be stuck in a industrial waste chute with a hot princess and a one-eyed creature.

The love story is an important aspect of the Saga, because it results in the births of Luke and Leia, and I believe results in the redemption of Anakin Skywalker.
I firmly believe that Anakin's love for Padmé is what turned him back; he was seeing the product of that love fried to a crisp and could not allow that to happen.
Some might say he was thinking of his love for Padmé, which leads back to the romance, but I believe that Anakin overcame the dark side maybe more as a result of his love for his children.

 Death to Star Wars - A Love Story | Gamers With Jobs
But as the years have worn upon Star WarsÂ’ already threadbare, though entertaining, story, the franchise has become a veneer losing what originally defined the tale and keeping only the gadgets and conceits of the mostly fan-constructed universe.
Star Wars became less a story and more a set of rules that both writers and consumers understood from the start; it saved time in not having to reinvent the wheel and gave story-tellers the chance to get right down to the work of telling their stories.
For me, to be a Star Wars story requires some tie to those events, some expansion of that tale, some connectivity to Vader, the Emperor, the Death Star, Obi-Wan and so on.
