Once you get to the point where Jedi begin to outpace your other characters you need to provide the group with equally divergent challenges. Jedi should be fighting the Sith BBEG while the non-Jedi should be fighting the Sith's equally evil Imperial compatriots. Han Solo shouldn't be fighting Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker shouldn't be the one mowing down Stormtroopers.In terms of challenge, Stormtroopers are the Kobolds of Star Wars. Once characters get to a certain point they no longer provide an adequate challenge. It's pretty simple to level up NPCs (especially in WEG D6) or just give them a little better armor and weapons. The WotC versions of the game do a much better job providing stats for basic foes and heroes. The D6 core rulebooks doesn't have stats for anything but low level Stormtroopers and Imperial Army troopers. In either case customizing foes is pretty simple since they use all the same mechanics as PCs do. In terms of splat books Saga Edition has the best coverage. Its books cover all eras from Tales of the Jedi through the Clone Wars, the Rebellion, and on to the Legacy era. While it's out of print lots of FLGSes have the books in stock and Amazon Marketplace and eBay cover what they don't have. No matter which edition you want to play Target has been clearing out their minis at about half price. I think Saga also tends to have the most cinematic feel in that it bes recreates the movies.I do really enjoy the D6 version as that's the system I cut my teeth on. The handfuls of dice can be annoying but there's ways around them.</blockquote>
