I love rules lite games.  Some are just elegantly simple.  A set of rules that does more with less will impress me. 

I also like Star Wars.  What nerd doesn't?

So I am always on the hunt for a good way to combine those.  Like recently I found Swords and Six Siders, and a spin off game called Lasers and Six Siders.  It turns out L&SS is more of a general sci-fi game that does have psychics, but they don't use a precognitive power to block gunshots with a sword. 

Right now I would give it a three way toss up between Mini-Six Bare Bones, Pundit's own d20 Star Adventurer, or Tiny-D6 Frontiers with house rules to add precognition as another Psychic power set. 

Or do you guys have a suggestion?

Yeah, good luck buying that one.

May I suggest a free and legal alternative?

Star Wars D6 is not rules lite.

Mini-6 D6 "Imperium and Rebellion."

Quote from: Mini-6It is a dark time across the galaxy. Forces of the Grand Imperium have crushed the last vestiges of the once great Galactic Commonwealth. As tyranny spreads a few brave and desperate souls have dared to stand against the Sovereign's power. Rebels attempting to show the galaxy that freedom can be claimed if people are willing to stand up for what they believe in. Th e future is uncertain, but it will be forged by the spirit of heroes.

Me, sad to say. I'd like to like Star Wars. As a kid I loved it, but for whatever reason I've gong increasingly cold on Star Wars over the years.

That aside, I know Solar Blades and Cosmic Spells has a following.

You can look at the character sheet and figure out what it means in two seconds. You literally roll the number of dice stated to hit a target number. That is it. How much "lighter" do you need it to be?

For a rules lite game? Reduce it to 15 pages, and get rid of the rules we never used anyway.

Bullshit.

I managed to get a bar full of drunks to create characters and start playing in less than 15 minutes using that game. d6 WEG Star Wars RPG is an elegant, easy to use system and a damn sight more rules lite than any piece of crap Star Wars game that came out of WotC or FFG.

Paladin by Clinton R. Nixon is a great rules lite (28 pages) game and while not straight up Star Wars, SW was a big inspiration.  Here's the author's own description:

QuotePaladin is a variable-setting role-playing game in which you play holy warriors: men and women given extraordinary gifts by a benevolent supernatural force, gifts that they use to fight back evil while trying to maintain their own purity. This archetype is found from myth to pseudo-history to modern movies: Knights Templar fighting the heathen hordes and their sorcerers, Shaolin Monks keeping back English invaders in the Boxer Rebellion, Buffy and pals kicking vampire ass, or Star Wars' Jedi against the Empire and the Dark Side of the Force.

Might be worth a quick read.

Dunno if it's worth the read but it's CC By SA, here's the archived pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20170209211922/http://crngames.com/files/other/paladin.pdf

Best rules lite Star Wars is Risus.

Just found my old copy of SW 1E. Been while since I read through it. It is much liter than I remembered. I must have been thinking of the Revised version (Millennium Falcon cover.)

Yeah the d6 version isn't lite. If you like pages of equipment, skills, powers, and ships, and rules for strafing because its somehow a TTRPG with tank controls, use D6. Which I do at times, but people who say its 'rules lite' are not remembering the whole thing.

Despite supposedly feeling like it should have a lite game somewhere, every single Star Wars RPG has been extensively rules heavy. d6, d20, and FFG all being thick.

WEG 1E is rules light. It may not be today's version of rules light, but it is. Character gen is 2 pages. The core rules of the game are 6 pages. You throw some d6s and add them up and maybe add a one or two to the total. The game is very cinematic, if it is important to know when someone acts before someone else, the total of their roll is used. The higher amount happens first. The equipment list is very generic. There are enough ships and NPCs for a game. If you want to expand, you can add The Sourcebook. All you need is the core book. Most groups used the core book and the sourcebook and had years of gaming enjoyment.

While Star Adventurer is a great rule set for a Star Wars style game, it is missing one thing for me, NPCs. Even a few sample ones and suggestions on making more would have been helpful. If I wanted to do Star Wars with an OSR, I would use White Star before Star Adventurer. White Star I would also consider rules light since it is based on White Box: FMAG, which is a clone of the original 3 books for OD&D.
