Almost.
First, does anyone want to reprise their role from Scum & Villainy? Get caught up in the Rebellion for whatever reason and fly dangerous missions in exchange for a fair share of any loot?

If you've got a character idea, sure, we can stat them up. Although I'm not 100% sure just how up-to-date my PDF is, the basic rules for what I'm running can be found here:
http://www.headonastick.com/starwarsbuskit.pdf
Characters have five Traits: Physical, Combat, Knowledge, Wits, and Spirit.
For ship-to-ship combat, the following 3 Traits govern these important actions:
Combat governs your chance to hit with all weapons, vehicular or handheld. You roll Combat for initiative in personal combat. Tactics are also part of the Combat Trait.
Knowledge is important for repairing broken things, customizing ships and equipment, demolitions work, slicing security systems, medicine, and astrogation.
Wits is the Trait used for piloting spacecraft. It is also used in space combat as a sort of initiative; instead of rolling Combat, you roll Wits and the highest-rolling pilot chooses who they wish to be lining up an attack on. Wits is also used for stealth and observation.
That said, when you need to roll Physical or Spirit, it is normally a situation where you don't want to screw up.
OK, so those 5 Traits all start at d6. You will have FIVE "raises" to assign to them.
A Specialization is a skill-like area of expertise within a Trait. When you perform an action that would benefit from your Specialization, you roll two Trait dice instead of one. A good example would be "Pilot" under Wits, or "Toughness" under Physical. You do not get any free Specializations; if you want one, it will cost one of your Trait raises.
Finally, Aspects are elements of your character that may not fall into the simple categories of traits or specializations. They add a bonus die when performing actions that would fall under the realm of the aspect in question. As an example, you might not want to Specialize in Pilot, but you could take "Great Pilot" or "Top Gun" as an Aspect. Or you could take "Hates the Empire", or "Easy-Going", or "Crack Shot", or "Brawler", or "Hunts Like Panther".
You may choose:
ONE Aspect at d10;
or
TWO Aspects at d8;
or
ONE Aspect at d8 and TWO at d6.
Oh... I forgot. Like Spycraft's Action Dice, and WEG d6's Character Points, I use "Wild Dice". You get a number equal to your Spirit die type. (a d10 Spirit would get 10d6 Wild Dice). Wild Dice are d6s that you can spend at will. They can open-end
once, producing a range from 1-12, obviously weighted towards 1-6. You can spend as many as you want on a roll, they can be rolled one at a time or many at once. I find they work best for preventing a bad roll at a critical juncture (like when you've been shot, or roll a 1 trying to dodge an asteroid) rather than trying to bolster a mildly successful result.
You could call it luck or the Force, if you like.
