The old argument for confirmation rolls on criticals was that it didn't make sense for a 1st level character and a 20th level character to get criticals at exactly the same rate. The Star Wars system addresses this by making criticals by higher level characters more devastating, since they get bonus damage based off of their level.D&D, though, has a number of ways to artificially boost one's damage output, plus ways to increase threat range. In addition, D&D weapons have ways to make different types distinct yet somewhat balance by playing with threat ranges and crit multipliers. All of these things would need to be addressed in a new D&D edition, and I think this move away from "realism" (too use the term loosely) wouldn't neccessarily be received favorably.Another reason I think the SWSE is a system designed to cater to the needs of it's own genre, not a testbed for 4E.</blockquote>
