thanks for all the great feedback!
It helps a lot but I prefer to keep things in canon. I know that sounds really anal, but I like the idea of my characters not doing galaxy changing events but rather accomplishing some small scale missions.
I think that's an appealing playstyle, personally. However, it's important to realize that it diverges significantly from th tone of the movies and even the majority of the novels and other tie-ins. Star Wars is in original form is melodramatic, baroque, grand, swashbuckling. I like the idea of a small mercenary unit or a squad of X-wing pilots adventuring, but it's a Star Wars variant, like running DC Adventures game based around the exploits of the Gotham City Police is a variant on DC superheroes.
