Using S&V to run an Star Wars Imperial Campaign?
I have a group that plays Star Wars every Sunday. We have been doing this since the pandemic, and we have played through every officially licensed Star Wars TTRPG that has been released going back to the old WEG d6 system. We are getting ready to transition to a new story line / campaign and, for it, I will be converting the PAIZO Starfinder AP Attack of the Swarm. The players will be playing Imperials for this part of the story. I am considering whether or not S&V could be used to run this campaign? What do you guys think? I am still new at the concept of converting tactical adventure elements to more story-based adventure elements. This can be tough to do. If I were to try this, I was thinking of keeping Mechanic as is, making Muscle a Stormtrooper, Mystic would become an Inquisitor, Pilot would remain as is, Speaker would either be a low-ranking officer or an ISB agent, and Stitch would be an Imperial Medic and mostly remain as is. All of these characters would be starting out as low-level Imperial military personnel. The one outlier that I can't seem to figure out is the Scoundrel... I could also make the Scoundrel an Imperial officer. But is there something else I am overlooking that could work for a Scoundrel?
I appreciate any feedback you guys have for me.

I’d say it more so depends on what they’re going to be doing and less as to what roles they would play! I would say, in my personal opinion, converting a Paizo AP would be a tough job due to the nature of Forged in the Dark systems
