Agree. I would think a universe as big as Star Wars would have room for in-world fantasy novels (set in barbaric pre-Republic times) and punk rockish music, and anything else we can think of. Surely over 25000 years of high tech society populated by trillions of people at a time, somebody made something like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. We often reskin modern references to have a Star Wars feel, it provides some grounding so we can relate to it.
