I really enjoyed the Saga Edition rules, not only did they presage some 4E rules but I think the system did a bit better than WEG's D6 system in terms of Star Wars feeling. WEG's system was clunky in too many areas (in my opinion) to really do justice to the high adventure of Star Wars. Every round required rolling several handfuls of dice which slowed the action down a lot. Saga Edition to me took the good things about WEG's system and put it behind a D20 mechanic.
I think I'd like to see Green Ronin get ahold of the license. The Mutants and Masterminds system would be awesome for Star Wars. Thanks to non-mutant (non-Jedi) abilities and powers a normal human of a particular power level can hold their own against a superhuman of the same level. It could prove to be one of the better Star Wars adaptations even. Han Solo needs to remain relevant next to Luke Skywalker for everyone to have fun.
Green Ronin looks like they're interested in picking up licensed properties, they already picked up a DC license an Dragon Age. Adding Star Wars to their portfolio wouldn't be out of character. Besides my love for the MM and True20 systems GR also seems to have their heads on straight when it comes to distribution. They have well laid out digest size books (their pocket guides) and offer PDF editions of their books.
