I might look into the D20 Star Wars RPG as well, we'll see. Never really done much with it, but I'm totally game to try it.
EDIT: Also, I'd like to discuss character classes and such, get an idea of what everyone's thinking. I've posted a thread to the game's forum, but we can talk about that here if it's easier.

I totally forgot. I have played D20 Star Wars Saga edition. It's alright, but I feel like it's really hard to care much unless you're kinda' into Star Wars already. And it's got some issues where Jedi feel incredibly underwhelming at most levels, especially because anyone can become Force sensitive and do the strong Jedi things while being in a class with a bunch of other benefits. Plus the general D20 issues about dead levels and the fact that it uses a dual-HP system that makes crits very lethal, so it's unlikely that PCs live in the long term. I feel like most of what it does well as a system is better accomplished by other systems, so there's little reason to play it unless you really want to be in Star Wars. And it's got a huge focus on expanded universe content, so you have to be into more than just the movies to really get a lot out of it.
I've got no idea about the other D20 Star Wars systems.

this is literally the only reason I have any interest in Star Wars RPG

i'm actually in a dnd group at the moment so maybe another time, though we're playing over tabletop simulator.
my character is basically a paladin, a fighter/favored soul of st. cuthbert. and as far as personality and how i play the character etc its basically judge dredd.

I love me some Pathfinder. It's been ages since I've been able to play in a game, since I'm the only one of my friends who ever really ran the system much. (We still play somewhat unfrequently, but mostly new World of Darkness, some Warhammer 40K Roleplay stuff, and a semiweekly AD&D game.)
I've played several systems. Besides the ones I mentioned above, I'm at least passingly familiar with Burning Empires, Burning Wheel 3rd edition, Mouseguard, Torchbearer (these four are related), Shadowrun's most recent edition, D&D 4th edition, and D&D 3rd/3.5. Plus some experience with a couple of WoD-related vampire LARP systems. And a friend just got Harnmaster, so we're going to be experimenting with that soon, I think. And I've looked at some other weird, niche systems as well, but I'm not really terribly familiar with any of them.
I kinda' like looking at systems and how they work.
