Anyone else hope the Galaxys Edge GP is Maxis testing the waters?

Having played the original Star Wars RPG (by West End Games) I'd love to be able to revisit some of those characters and play them in a Sims type game. I doubt I could ever properly do justice to the Great Wunna Wunna Hunt, but it would be fun to recreate 'Drin, Crik, and the rest that I can't quite remember their names (it was 30 years ago..)
