I was always tempted to buy them, had a friend who had a couple sourcebooks for reading. Tried playing it once in college. Ugh. So many D6's, and my friends wanted to be Jedi and were rolling something like 20d6, which is crazy.

I don't remember much about it other than the dice. I remember wanting to be a non-combatant because people not involved in the Civil War interest me. A gambler, I think, who was only going to obey whatever the flip of the coin decided (much like Two-Face). However, a stray turbolaser blast blew open the deck of the ship I was in and killed me within five minutes of us actually starting to play after hours of character creation. I think we retconned it out, but I don't remember actually playing after that point, only observing.

I never played the WotC, but I imagine with my D&D 3e and 4e experience it would be a little easier.
