It might very well be deeper when you:
A: Include material from the books
B: Assume a lot of stuff
But I don't read the books. And, if I were, to be fair one would have to include Perfect Works and Xenosaga in my appreciation of Xenogears, and I do not (though Perfect Works is very awesome and does add tons of depth to the game's continuity). I judge the Star Wars movies as movies and I judge the Xenogears game as the game.
Now, perhaps in the literary domain Star Wars is a psychological space-drama. But the movies are not. They are not deep, nor are they complex. There are very few hidden meanings or twists, and little character development. I'm not an idiot, when that stuff is present I definitely notice it. It's not in the Star Wars movies, which have roughly the same amount of development and depth of character as Super Mario Bros.
