Would anyone watch a Starwars movie about some random drunk guy sitting in a bar while the "main story" was happening somewhere else?

They actually made a game like that: Star Wars Galaxies. Only instead of being a drunk guy at a bar you were the drunk guy dancing or playing an instrument in the bar (the game had dancer/musician classes ... *sigh*). Meanwhile Han and Luke and the rest were all busy having their own adventures, and the most involvement you could have in those adventures was getting very loosely-related quests from them.
It was actually pretty sweet though: although the game failed for other reasons, I really liked how it basically said "you are a nobody, have fun becoming a somebody in our giant sandbox". It's too bad that modern games all have to pretend the world is filled with a million unique chosen ones.
