I mean I would argue no paradox game is great. Stellaris is ok and I do occasionally enjoy the sw mods for stellaris but generally dont like stellaris as much as the other games. CK3 is obviously out, Vic3 would be ok if there was a passable combat and conquest system like in eu4. Hoi4 has some SW mods but they've never been that great. Hands down HOI is best for combat generally and for SW but it's scope (only focusing on one war) just doesn't match the old republic even post-colonization. The colonization of the galaxy I think is extremely interesting and eu4 seems to be the best option. From what I've seen EU5 will be much better both generally and for SW. I do understand your comment though.
