How to get through my unique writers block?

I can’t seem to get past writers block. The problem seems to be that I am looking at star wars as the mark of expectation. Star Wars has been my imaginative escape for years and is one of the reasons I am the kind of person I am today. I feel like I can’t continue on with my story idea because it just can’t compare to the bliss, freedom, and epicness of star wars. I wish there were no concerns with copyrights because I would love to write star wars. It would ideally be very expanded universe, probably in a different timeline than anything that is popular right now. I don’t want to do this because its lazy and I wouldn’t have to come up with my own material. I want to do this because its like that one perfect story idea that is begging to be written. It has all the freedom and comfort and familiarity to work with. And the concept behind star wars is genius. The flexibility of it is amazing. Since the universe is so open it almost represents to me the complete fiction literary freedom that a writer is supposed to feel about their own ideas. I don’t know why I can’t seem to feel this way about my own ideas. I just keep going back to star wars. Help me put things into perspective and get this excited about my own idea. I just can’t stop thinking of the finesse of star wars. Example… the light and dark side of the force. It’s amazing how it makes evil such a tangible thing that isn’t so grey, and yet is so awesome at the same time. I feel like I could never do that without ripping off star wars badly. To reiterate and to clear up any confusion I just want to get over this. I want to be excited about my own ideas again and just know that I am cut out for writing.
