I'm ready for a new Star Wars RPG

[Yora]

A Star Wars game that doesn't use funky dice will always be welcome.

Sadly it will likely include mentions of Disney Star Wars in the rulebook and I'm not sure how badly that would reduce the fun of reading and learning the rules.

I would like to see an official Star Wars rpg using Savage Worlds, Honor + Intrigue (Basic Action Games), or Black Star (Lakeside Games).

Even for Cortex Prime, I suspect we'd want different implementations for different eras or styles.

Aye, and which might be an advantage. Tweakable to enhance and emphasize what's appropriate for each era and style while maintaining an overall commonality.

Black Star looks pretty awesome. I recently bought it (it's definitely not Star Wars) and I love what the author has done with the PbtA engine. Though I think the game has too many skills (I think they're called 'abilities'), or too many overlapping skills.

Honestly what I would love...in addition to a purpose-built system that solved the Jedi/non-Jedi problem...is for it to be a low-crunch, rules-light game. I'd love to play it with kids ages 8-12 who love Star Wars.

I think you are thinking of Black Stars Rise. Black Star from Lakeside Games is not pbta. It is a rules light(?) game designed for space opera and has been called a Star Wars knock-off by some.

In Black Star, character abilities are Blasting, Brawling, Diplomacy, Discipline, Instinct, Intellect, Speed, Strength, Tools, Transportation which are rated 0-5. Furthermore, starting characters receive two archetypes from among the following: Diplomat, Expert, Fighter, Heavy, Mystic, Outlaw, Pilot, Scout, Soldier, Tech (The companion adds two additional archetypes: Fringer and Psychic) . The Archetypes are talents and starting characters receive an additional talent from each of their archetypes plus one additional archetype.
The pdfs for both the core rules and the companion are about $5 each on drivethrurpg. The print versions are available on lulu for about $9 each (if I recall correctly).

Black Star by Lakeside Games is exactly the game I'm talking about. I don't know what to tell ya, the PbtA influence seems pretty apparent to me, lol. I know it's not an official PbtA game but looks like an obvious spinoff to me. I'd be shocked if the author stated otherwise.
But now I'm going to google that other game.

The best two systems I’ve used for Star Wars were WEG Star Wars and Fate.

I'm of the opinion that the AGE System from Green Ronin would be a good fit. The Stunt system seems very cinematic and their magic system would adapt well to the Force, I think.

Is it a game about arkham horror? That is the only black stars rise I see when searching…
