Help With Stats and their Range

[jaz0nj4ckal]

I just found Star Wars D6, and glancing through the 2^ndEdition Revised book; however, I am a little lost. I am coming from AD&D 2^ndand GURPS 3^rd, so the dice pool is a new concept to me; however, Iam having a hard time visualizing my character due to the STAT ranges. Inoticed some creatures, which I always envisioned as being super strong “Rippingarms out of their sockets” only have a MAX Strength of 7D.
Any pointers from veteran Star Wars D6 to build a rich and fun game?
