Because Valve wants autonomy and has never worked on an third party existing IP. Why would they start now?
They have the pull as being a top notch developer so any game they make will automatically have some pull with the public and press. They do not need the headache on dealing with Disney. They would most likely sell millions on any new IP or using an existing IP they have (a new Left 4 Dead game?)
Also, while I believe they had slightly changed their "horizontal" company structure.. I still believe they operate based on what their employees want to make and they could go through 14 failed projects before finding one everybody wants to work on....something that Valve would never be able to do with a Star Wars license. You think EA was bad with the lack of games...having Valve try to make one would be 100 times worst.
