While the Star Wars we have is mostly deficient in this regard, I think Lucas originally meant to do better. Very early on in Star Wars media history, I saw the claim that the intent was for the trilogy of trilogies to be: How the War Started; The War; How We Rebuilt Peace. To show more of the social processes, and not just the thrilling battle scenes.

If this was the actual intent at one point, it failed almost immediately by starting with the battle. And indeed, the franchise mostly stuck with thrilling battles until quite recently, with Andor.

I have long felt that JMS was aware of that failed promise, and structured Babylon 5 to try and actually fit that structure. And while certainly flawed, I think it came much closer. It definitely had the element of "You're never done saving the world."
