Star Wars is good stuff, but it really depends on the builder. As the old
saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or something like that.
Anyway, I'm in SW for the parts, cuz they have a great selection. I'm not
for theme abandonment, more for a equalization between themes.

The line is already ancient by recent standards, and I fear that it will get
the same treatment as other themes.  Star Wars Lego brought me (and a lot of
other AFOLs) out of a very long dark age.  I am not in favour of treating the
SW line the same as Rock Raiders or Slizers (a year or two, then *poof* gone).

Sure, the star wars models were pretty innovative, but I would like to see
more of a balance between space and SW. After Star Wars isn't exactly space,
and I would like to see the Lego product line diversified, cuz it really
hasn't been lately.

I'm all for producing a classic space legend.  That would be great.  However,
I have to admit that the re-introduction of the Galaxy Explorer would
drastically diminish the likelyhood of me springing for a Blockade Runner
set.  I would like to make my collection SW-complete, but my wallet is already
spread too thin with the sets currently in production.

Well, a Space Legend would definitely empty my wallet as well, I'm always
short on funds :) But, I would definitely pick myself up a few new models as
well, maybe for the minifigs, and new parts. (you just gotta have those
imperial officers, thay make good militia for my Lego project)

Just my two brickz...
