Yes, you need to sort. However, the kids will jumble it all back in together in no time unless you take the 'new' stuff away, which might cause other problems.
Star Wars isn't actually even the worst for that balkanisation of parts. Things like Ninjago or that horrible new series Monkie Kid are worse.
In most new-ish LEGO series, they use about six or seven simple strategies to reduce the value (for a casual user, not for headbangers who build hugely complex things and sell stuff they don't want via BrickLink) of what you buy without making it too apparent.

All this brick chat is reminding me of an annoyance.
Our next door neighbours offered us a load of free Lego as their grown up / teenage kids had left it behind. A bin bag full! Of course we readily agreed.
But, the vast bulk of it is star wars kit stuff that is just all weird shaped bricks and surfaces and antennae and whatnot.
Now that this lot is mixed in with our original, more basic, blocks it is really hard to find bits to just build castles and towers with.
I think I am going to have to have a massive sort out. The prospect is daunting.
