Your posts have given me a lot to think about for any Star Wars game I might run. Culling hacking (or slicing, ugh) from Star Wars is a good move. You’re removing Shadowrun’s Hacker Problem and it feels un-starwarzy to me.

My (unasked for) Thoughts: No Wheels. Just a flavor thing, but nobody drives a car in SW. Extremely limited out of system communications. Only big powers like the Empire and the Republic have the means. No Cell Phones, not even for droids. Droids are complicated. Protocol droids can speak 5 million languages, but can’t walk properly? Yeah, we’ve been dealing with this for like a thousand years.
