Getting back on topic (can't believe I'm the one getting back on topic) but I'd bring out some new computer games.  First person shooters based in the SL era, Amaris coup and Liberation, and the SWs.  Then a giant online game version of the Liberation shooter!  If it stuck to cannon it would take years to playout.

As a common Star League trooper ala MW3?

That's a pretty interesting idea actually. There's plenty of source material to make for some pretty interesting missions.

Not that blasphemous or strange. There was a Crysis engine mod that allowed gamers to play as a Star League trooper. I can't remember if the mod every got off the ground outside of a Beta, but it was a pretty neat idea.

I'd rather see this FPS from multiple perspectives and characters with individual storylines across a campaign setting. You start off as a member of the First Lord's Jump Infantry retinue trying to disable turrets and set charges above the throne room after Richard's assassination. Next you're a Hegemony militiaman trying to survive an Amaris assault on your barracks during the opening stages of the Coup, and make it into the world's wilderness. Then you're fighting as a RWR marine trying to seize one of the SLDF WarShips undergoing repairs in orbit. After that you play a SLDF regular invading the RWR during Kerensky's 2772 campaign. During the fight you get to call in artillery to obliterate entrenched enemy positions.

Since FPSs and ‘Mech games are visually the same you could probably also fit in the odd ‘Mech or Aerospace Fighter mission.

Could be a pretty awesome game.
