I'm starting to think that it's time for FFG to develop a game of ground combat with a larger scale than Imperial Assault. A scale that could have AT-ATs, AT-STs, T-47 snowspeeders, troop platoons, "artillery" in the form of a recon unit that can call in orbital strikes, hero units, somewhat reliable air support (Y-wings, TIE Bombers, TIE Fighters, X-wings...), etc.
Something as a cross between Flames of War and Dropship Commander. Probably could easily tie into Rogue One as well. I use Flame of Wars for its ability to have incredible objectives AND its ability to incorporate "hero units" into all aspects of the game (including air support), I say Dropship Commander for its initial simplicity and for its terrain being cardboard based.
Runewars is a great start to a system that might lend itself to a game like this, at least at my first glance of it.
Just don't forget the objectives, campaign, and easy to set up cardboard terrain (building, etc).
Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work!
