Quote from: Teazia;8260551e with the 1e Sourcebook and the Galaxy Guide 6 Tramp Freighters (1e) make a wonderful core set to play around with.  Maybe the non-rpg Star Wars Essential Atlas, which is highly regarded, could be an additional core book.  That is alot of game right there, I tell you what.

Are there any good adventures that would go with this setup?

I grew up with the 2nd edition revised and I really like it.

I have only ever owned 1st edition and the accompanying Sourcebook. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of those two books. I saw 2nd edition (I think it was 2nd anyway) but was unimpressed with the addition of subskills as it didn't seem very Star Wars to me to have a pilot need multiple versions of "Starship Pilot" to fly different ships, and other similar issues. It seemed like they were emulating other roleplaying games for gamers who wanted their Star Wars games to feel more like other games.

I haven't seen the D&D Star Wars or the most recent one so can't say whether they are good, bad, or ugly, but I have a hard time seeing how D&D mechanics would emulate the Star Wars movies without being cudgeled into submission or neutered with a rusty scissors.

The 4-adventure short series The Politics of Contraband and any number of adventures from the Star Wars Adventure Journal.

Star Wars D20 Revised.

I'm a committed Traveller fan - in either the Mongoose or Classic form - and still attest that Star Wars can easily be done using those rules.

However, I also have the WEG 1st edition Star Wars game which I also like for having quick and easy character templates as well as more loosey-goosey dicepool system (with exploding wild die) does capture the spirit of the movies quite well. The ease of use is quite an important selling point to me.

Well, they had a writeup of Luke Skywalker (as well as Earl Dumarest, my favorite science fiction hero) in the back of one of those Classic Traveller supplements, I forget which one, so it seems reasonable you could do Star Wars with it.
