And the worst part is that the Gleep Glops are the best part of Star Wars

I want to see more of them, constantly

Gimme the adventures of that Wolfman from the Mos Eisley Cantina or that big green rabbit guy

More random stories about jizz musicians or some shit like that, completely unconnected to larger plots and grand destinies pls. Make the universe feel bigger & more alive! They don't even all have to be gleep glorps (more are always appreciated though), but having a few dope puppet creatures makes anything better

I've actually had a very similar star wars ttrpg campaign idea that's been on the backburner for a long time now; the party is a mediocre jizz band touring the outer rim who owe a lot of money to the hutts. Hijinks ensue etc

Some of my favorite SW novels back in the day were the "Tales From Mos Eisley Cantina" and "Tales From Jabba's Palace" books. Basically every chapter just takes one of the random background characters from those scenes and tells their whole story. Really interesting way to get a lot of back story about characters that never seem to get any other real love.

Also, the story of the rancor trainer is really heartbreaking (seriously). Good stuff.

I get that make-up and cgi are expensive

But christ almighty, it's Disney

More money than I can fathom and they won't even try

It's even worse than that. The Acolyte has twin human characters both played by the same actress, and there are several scenes where it's obvious that they use a double facing away from the camera, even for dialogue. They really go out of their way to avoid having the adult twins both in frame, face visible to the camera at any given time. The Parent Trap had this figured out in 1998, but I guess that's a lost art to Disney!

The two characters somehow look more unique as children than adults
