Lightyear would have been awesome if that's how it was made -- a totally tubular and gnarly space adventure. Include some old school star wars references for the millennial+ dads, and maybe play off some of the trends of the day.
It's shocking how little the movie leaned on Star Wars references, considering the IP is owned by Disney. The Rookie was the big Star Trek reference but I don't recall many throw backs to SW. Ironically, this movie would have benefitted tremendously from a Star Wars type scroll (and perhaps naming it Episode 4 or 5, but I digress)
You hit the nail on the head.
