My 'similar energy' Star Wars concept has always been to follow the crew of a single rebel capital ship (maybe a Neb-B cruiser) through the OT-era, beginning with a mutiny, so the crew is a mix of Imperial officers-turned-rebels and new rebel recruits, with the drama that implies.

My own twist on it is for most of the series, a hero-ship Nebulon B is going to have to run away from Star Destroyers a lot, but you could make the show's Neb-B be the one we see in the Battle of Endor in RotJ in desperation going broadside to broadside with an ISD as the big series climax.

So you get to spend, like, 3-4 seasons establishing that the hero ship can Do Stuff, but Star Destroyers are big and scary and require running away, only to end up - after all of your character development - squaring off against one in a badass moment of valor.

Or...
A Star Destroyer glides amongst the glittering firmament, when suddenly two giant space logs swing down from each side and smash it. The Yubnub song swells and the yellow text begins to scroll into the distance.
