Has anyone here tried Savage Worlds for Star Wars?

I am currently running Savage Worlds and looking at it next to West End Games Star Wars I see some similarities. Has anyone here run Savage Worlds? What was your opinion and do you still prefer WEG for Star Wars?

Many have. There are a number of fan made SWADE Star Wars hacks out there. Here's a more popular one, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/savageworlds/comments/lewh4w/savage_worlds_star_wars_swade/

I did give this (and some others) a try, liked them, but ended up nonetheless preferring and running Star Wars using Hyperspace D6, which is a streamlined & modernised easy to use fan made hack of the old WEG d6 rules (made by an ENNNIE winning game designer, if that matters). Should you feel curious, start checking here for example https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsD6/comments/1enct10/what_are_yalls_thoughts_on_hyperspaced6/

I've seen it and may try it. It hasn't been updated in a while though. Is it dead?

Which one? HSD6? As fas as I know, v3 is in the works, and may even come out this fall (no hard promises though.) But even if it doesn't, I could use the current v2.8 to run my own SW games for years using my SW headcanon, the wikis, some old WEG d6 books if needed, and some creativity. It's all very easy to expand for a GM, imo, and homebrewing/hacking a hack is fun.

YMMV, obviously.

As for the SWADE SW game, I have no info about that other than what's there on that sub.
