[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 6054266, member: 14159"] I ran WEG d6 Star Wars for several years, it's still my favorite system to run Star Wars with. Now, that being said, force users can be more powerful, but only if the players are powergaming and realize certain powers and combos of powers are very powerful. It's my favorite because it's fairly rules light, very flexible in terms of character creation, and generally does a good job of conveying the atmosphere and feel of Star Wars. For lower-powered games it's outright wonderful. Some issues crop up with higher powered games or longrunning campaigns, IME, but it's still a great system overall. Of course, the fact that no support for it was released after 1998 is an issue. There is nothing official for the prequels, or for any EU materials set after the Corellian Trilogy (18 ABY, and that's pretty sparse, most game support materials taper off after the Jedi Academy novels). If you want anything at all for the Yuuzhan Vong, or Legacy Era, or Prequels, you'll have to homebrew it or find it yourself. There actually is one sourcebook for the Old Republic, the Tales of the Jedi Companion, based on one short-lived comic book series that had been released at that point, predating the KOTOR games by several years.
