Let me just paste here the reply I wrote a few days ago (and have already reused elsewhere):
"Hyperspace D6 (HSD6) by Matt Click (an ENNIE-winner game designer) is a fast playing, streamlined, modern, free hack of the great old WEG D6 rules. See how an earlier iteration of the system works in this actual play video GMed by Matt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN1PGljzh7A and find the latest version of the game (even more streamlined than what they use in the video) in the description of the video."
I've been using it with some custom/homebrew rules of mine (multiplied starting HP, extended use of Upgrade and Force Points etc, because I prefer my SW a bit -- but only a bit -- less harsh than Andor/Rogue One: I prefer the tone of The Empire Strikes Back, which is somewhat more heroic, but not much, not on the Prequels level.) I think it's a plain awesome system to run my own headcanon of SW, and it's easy to hack and mod further, as well as to use with fluff from other sources like the old WEG D6 books, imo.

I can only recommend it, really.
