The body of rules is managable, and the classes don't have an extensive but very narrow set of weird ability combinations coming with them. This said, the SW d20 has a few balance problems. And I'm not really a fan of how the VP/WP system was implemented, although I'm not the one to complain about the reduced importance of armor. I don't like its deadliness, though.The new SW d20 Saga Edition will go to back to hitpoints combined with a five step condition track, similar to SW d6. There will only be 5 classes, customizable wilth many different feat trees (which means they encompass all current classes).  The skills have been simplified. And all classes can be potential force users. It's a bit early to say whether I will like the new system, but it sounds interesting enough that I will have a look at it.Let's see whether this is nearer to the mechanics of the KotOR computer games. I liked them because they were very clear, although the game used quite a few "invented" abilities (feats) in order to plaster over some of the balance issues.</blockquote>
