Someone resurrected an old thread on the Rancor Pit which contained the best comparison of D20 and D6 Star Wars RPG I've ever come up with. I had forgotten I had even written it. Since it amused me again, I include it here for others who might be so amused.
Yoda: ...a Jedi's strength flows from the game. But beware of the D20. Classes, leveling, min-maxing; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the D20 path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.
Luke: Vader... Is the D20 side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier to find, more limiting.
Luke: But how am I to know the D6 side from the D20?
Yoda: You will know... when you are having fun, enjoying yourself. A Jedi uses the game for flexibility and freedom, never for XP grind.
