A series without Force-user main characters?

What would you think of the idea of a SW series/show (either animated or live action) where none of the main characters were Force users?

No Jedi, Sith, Nightsisters, Grey Knights, Force-Adepts, none of that.

Not that Force users couldn't pop up now and again - or even be recurring characters, in story arcs or recurring across different eps and stories - but not as part of the central, regular cast. Have the main people all be "normal" non Force-sensitive or non Force-using folks.

Either Imperial Navy, or underworld / bounty hunter / smuggler types, or Mercs or some other military group or whatever.

Would you watch it?

 

That'd be great. I would like to see either a series based on bounty hunters or smugglers or both. Perhaps the occasional force user turns up but they are kept rare.

 

How about... non-Force users battling Force-users.

Thoughts?

 

If there's no Jedi, I don't think I'll be interested..

 

If the non-force user was a bounty hunter, then I reckon it'd be awesome.

 

I wouldn't mind, it'd definitely be a nice change of pace.

 

I certainly won't mind such a series. I mentioned in the new animated series thread that a Dark Times series could potentially focus on a young Han Solo as a protagonist, so having the main characters be smugglers, bounty hunters, or other shady types is definitely not out of the question, particularly as most of the Jedi are either dead or in hiding. Of course, you'll need to have at least a few Force-users as regularly occurring characters, or else it won't truly feel like Star Wars... Force users are to me the best part of the SW universe.

Yes, bring in Mandalorians vs. Jedi*! Really digging that possibility after seeing Pre Vizsla battle Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Maul. Or at least a bounty hunter or two like Boba Fett or Cad Bane who could stand toe-to-toe with Jedi thanks to the technology incorporated into their person...

*Another point to check off for a potential Dark Times series; resolve the New Mandalorian issue completely and bring in the Mandalorian Protectors, so we can perhaps see some Mandos vs. Jedi battles.

 

Yes, please. For me, Force users are just some kind of background noise, anyway. I don't mind them much, but I wouldn't miss them, either.

 

Would be very interesting, but there is little chance of that happening. Jedi are one of the few exclusively Star Wars elements. They are a big draw.

 

Star Wars is mainly about Force-users but a show with 'normals' in the focus would be a nice change of pace (and it could probably make the lead characters easier to relate to, at least for some watchers).

A show without Force-users in the lead has been done before (Droids & Ewoks) so it's not like it couldn't work, perhaps especially in today's world.
