> If Star Wars copyright had expired

Star Wars's copyright would have only expired if we were still under copyright law from before 1909. And even then, that would technically be only for the first movie. So the characters from that movie could be used, but not any characters in the later movies. You could have Han Solo, but not Lando. Obi-Wan, but not Yoda, etc.

And you'd likely also have to deal with trademark issues, which are separate from copyright.

And there is still plenty of Star Wars content out there and being made.
