these days,
the fanbase can make it's own miniatures at better quality and cheaper cost than the established players
so,
you might have more success making some kickstarters and finding some sculptors etc who'd tackle that subject matter,
and then devise a way to either 3D lazer ablative print
sculpt and mold, with polyvinyl or pewter etc.
That is to say, Star Wars Miniatures should learn more
from the Heroclix/NECA experience,
during the gap era between Topps selling it off
and the players acquiring it and making it again.
For comparison, Heroclix increased after it became what it is now, and the playerbase expanded 6 fold,
with an increase in prize support and new sets funded by the 'chase convention rares".
If there was serious interest from the fanbase,
and a market cap around 10 000 players (world-wide)...
earlybird seeders would be found easily...
the problem would be in acquisition of stuff from Disney-yutani and from WotC...
It's a long shot to convince FFG to see margin and utility in
continuing the Star Wars Miniatures stuff,
yet - I'd completely support anything on Get Up (or, if physical signatures are needed, that also etc).
Especially if the content was Jedee, aliens, robots/droids and clone-wars era related
Hopefully Knight Models "won't" make SWMini's stuff in their pewter or resin lines,
and there might be a few ways to make the models you're looking for elsewise.
Good luck;
thanks for having the daring to make a great inquiry with FFG,
and welcome to Bloomilk
