And while I applaud the creators of Saga for a good system, I can't say I find it a good fit for the SW universe. The problem comes when you have "mixed" parties of characters. Take the Phantom Menace; you have Amidala (4th level?) Anakin (first, if even), Obi-Wan (6th), Jar-Jar (1st) and Qui-Gon (14th+) on an "adventuring group" together. The level disparity from the talented kid to the Jedi Master is so vast that, in game, anything that would challenge Qui-Gon would KILL the others and anything geared for them would be slaughtered by Qui-Gon. The same could be said of the OT with Han/Chewie being high-level/experienced, Leia moderately competent, and Luke fresh off the farm hanging out with Jedi Master Obi-Wan again. As much as I hate to say it, a level-less system (similar to WEG's d6, but with a better reigned-in Force mechanic) would probably be better to handling the wide variety of skills and experience levels that a typical SW group would possess. And lets not get into Call of Chuthulu d20...EDIT: ... or Rokugan...</blockquote>
