I set up some Star Wars conversions for a game I ran when trying to
learn
SG2.  Sorry, but I can't find the files right now.  The things I
remember I
did:

Jedi figures get a high armor rating (d12) to to account for their shot
deflection ability and fight as PA troopers (cause fear, double die
roll) in
close combat.  Plus they count as an EW team for searching out hidden
units
and as snipers for hiding (if operating alone instead of as team
leaders).

Stormtrooper were:  Armor d8, move d6, blasters were FP2, Impact d10,
Support weapon was autoblaster FP d10, Impact d12.

Rebel troops were:  Armor d4 for most (those high in the force might be
d6),
move d8, shipboard blaster pistols (like those used to defend Tantive
IV)
were FP d2, Impact d8, close only while regular blast rifles were the
same
as stormtrooper models.  Support weapons were generally autoblasters
(line
troops)  or sniper blasters (for the commando teams--done as sniper
lasers).

No vehicles were used--I was trying to keep it simple.
