I think the elf, dwarf, magic theme has been played to deathsince RPGs started. Vampires seems to be the new trend to change into different variants but looking back on my life I think sci-fi has dominated my preference.
Robotech, Star Wars, Star Trek and even a fair about of comic books went with sci-fi themes.
You can created whatever you want with a sci-fi setting. Think back to original Star Trek. You could even have worlds were elves, dwarves, and magic is "real".
SWG really started well but imploded. I'd personally think a SWG 2 could do well if they went the multiple skill trees/do whatever you want theme, added a ton a races, 2 sided faction warfare with maybe an underworld twist, and put the time and effort into it. I really enjoyed to original freeplay style games.
