Star Wars is pretty much out of steam, and has been for a fair few years. I think even the hardcore fans are sick of the same characters over and over and over again. There's only a finite amount of characters and aliens in all 7 movies and can only be remade so many times. (The wells a bit deeper with the clone wars series)
Everywhere I go Star Wars is now one of the slowest moving lines. The well isn't just dry, I think it's dust, until Disney starts making new movies.

What I'd like to see is Hasbro cut Star Wars in half (So they still have a presence, and still get worthwhile stuff out), and have the energies of the Star Wars team rededicated to Star Trek.
I think that combination would benefit both. You have a team that's accustomed to making 3"-4" toys with actor likenesses, they already know how to do vehicles for that scale (Not that trek has many vehicles suitable. Just shuttles. Maybe a Millinium Falcon sized Runabout). Star Wars really needs a rest so it can rebuild itself, AND I don't think Star Trek has what it takes anymore to be a giant sized line. A smaller kid friendly but collector oriented line for both, with the same team working both, I think is what they need to survive.

Hasbro owns Galoob, right? I WANNA SEE NEW TREK MICROMACHINES!
