Well, wasn't Rogue One exactly that treatment? It was a visceral and brutal experience (especially when one compares it to fable tales of SW). I left the cinema quite unsettled by how gray everything was, the sacrifices and commitment to the cause.

I'd really love SW movies to be more like that, less bland and mentally lazy (AND NO MORE DEATHSTARS FFS)

Oh God yes. I was so pissed when the Force Awakens culminated with yet another, bigger Death Star.

Even if you feel the need to stick with the super weapon trope, the Empire has PLENTY of other nasty machines sitting around.
