We do. It's called Star Trek. Kidding, kind of.
Star Wars is sci-fantasy, not true sci-fi. Jedi are an integral piece of that. Like if Lord of the Rings had no Gandalf, it'd just be Arthurian romance.
Anyway, I don't have an issue with Andor, Mandolorian, etc. Just not interested in watching. My wife and kids watch everything, so my household is doing its part.
But don't you think it could be so much richer of a fantasy universe if they weren't so beholden to the story of one Jedi and his pals and family? I think one of the reasons - if not the main reason - that A Song of Ice and Fire is such a successful fantasy universe is that it's not just a story about dragons vs. icemen. The dragons might very well be your favorite part, the White Walkers might very well be your favorite part, but when the universe they inhabit is fleshed out and expanded, it makes those parts all the sweeter.
The Star Wars Universe is a friggin' galaxy, but it seems so preposterously small when you can't go from one episode to the next, or one film to the next, without every protagonist bumping into every other protagonist. It's actually something I really enjoyed about the Netflix Marvel series, hit or miss though they were; outside of an occasional dialogue reference, they let the characters breathe and exist on their own, at least relative to the "main" MCU if not each other.
