At first glance, it kinda looks like one of Spooky's layouts with some added ramps/wireforms.

I think it has more to do with the theme, than actual interest in the pin. The theme surrounds probably the most influential, most groundbreaking(for it's time), most long-standingly popular, most legendary, and of course most profitable(which is why Disney bought it) pieces of Intellectual Property in the past 50 years. Few could argue that there is a movie franchise with anywhere near as a diverse and incredibly huge, incredibly devoted fan-base as Star Wars. I think it's like number three on the list of things most recognized on Planet Earth, across language and cultural borders(behind Coca-Cola and something else, if my memory serves me). Star Wars also has the broadest scope and most likely has the largest amount of toys, books, games, comics, memorabilia, and licensed products for any movie franchise, let alone any kind of IP in general.

Just about everyone here has some sort of connection to Star Wars. Whether it be in their childhood memories or a recent discovery, it's a huge part of the American pop culture fabric. Which means, to a certain extent, everyone has a vested interest and therefore their own idea as to what they'd like to see in this new pin.

That's why the topic is so popular.

Jury's out until I play one with somewhat complete code. Perhaps at the inaugural GSPF?
