Well, one could argue that Star Wars-like battles are completely unrealistic, because in the future aiming systems will become so good that it will be nearly impossible to miss, so a battle might as well take place like it does in Eve, where the only thing that counts is the strength of your weapons vs. strength of their shields. It's not like you can do a quick evasive maneuver in a super carrier like that - although I am pretty sure that fighter battles still have them moving around since it's on a much smaller scale.
Very true, however would we want to watch Star Wars with no human element? Why are there pilots at all, should just be a bunch of R2D2s built into drone ships :P
I feel the same about playing a game, I want to have some influence besides my stat column being bigger.
Obviously the game must be fun to get the kind of following it has, I guess I was just expecting something else.
