What is the story on those 3 different titles in FFG? Are they covering different time periods in the canonical history? Same game system otherwise?

All three titles are set in the Rebellion era and are stand-alone system books. The Edge of the Empire book focuses more on character archetypes and stories set in the Outer Rim that might not directly deal with the Empire, the Age of Rebellion features character archetypes that are more directly opposed to the Empire, and the Force and Destiny book contains lots of Force-using archetypes (the other two books contain only limited Force-using archetypes).

It's the same system (and there's a fair amount of duplication of material in each book as a result), and very similar mechanically to the FFG Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying game, if you've seen or played that one.

Cypher System Material

More for Cypher System here:

Species: http://defa.wikidot.com/cypher-species. This is a WIP and I wish to add more (especially if there are requests.
Also here on ENWorld: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?471652-Species-for-the-Cypher-System

Concepts: http://defa.wikidot.com/cypher-concepts. This one helps a player (or GM) build iconic concepts/archeypes/classes from previous iterations.

Force Flavor: http://defa.wikidot.com/cypher-force-flavor. Creating Jedi just did not seem right without a Force flavour focusing on their specific suit of abilities.

The above threads are also coalated on ENWorld in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?467531-Star-Wars-amp-The-Cypher-System

For anyone that likes story-telling, narrative play, improvisation and very flexible character development, I recommend the FFG star wars systems. The system is quite heavy-weight but I think it's very rewarding if the group of players can all get into it.

There was an unofficial 47-page RQ Star Wars rules-supplement PDF produced by the authors of RuneQuest 6th edition, Pete Nash and Lawrence Whitaker, to demonstrate how you could adapt a setting to that edition. I don't have a link, because the document was taken down, but I'm sure there are still copies floating around online.

There is also Star Wars : Fate Edition, by Ryan Danks. I'm a big fan and my tabletop group uses the ideas in there often.

I like the idea of using other systems for the Star Wars setting.
Too bad a lot of folks give the lightsaber super powers. I personally think it's just an oddball weapon that Jedi like, and most (not all) of it's capabilities are due to the wielder, not the weapon.
(Of course, fanboyism often makes homebrew Katanas in games hit like a freaking melee version of antitank weapons, which is also insane, so anytime a weapon has larger than average stats, you really have to think twice about it. Was the weapon really that totally awesome, or maybe it had something to do with the protagonist/antagonist using it.)
