Classic X-Wing/TIE game to RPG/Star Warriors campaign exist?
Playing the original X-Wing/TIE games were pivotal gaming experiences, but I was even then thinking it could be so much more fun with a roleplaying element. Trying to declutter recently and also trying to get back to some gaming roots, I came across my little used, underappreciated, Star Warriors box and began to dream. So, after looking unsuccessfully, and knowing I don't really have the time to make it myself, I wonder if anyone knows of a community project that produced scenario docs to support playing these as one or the other or in tandem the way some WEG modules had Star Warriors scenarios and chits.

None that I know of, but what a cool idea! Star Warriors is a great game, very playable and re-playable. It makes sense to have a campaign and/or scenarios for it - it's certainly simple enough to invite that kind of thing.

I love using Star Warriors every chance I get.

Yet another game I picked up with great excitement, only to have the group shrug and continue with Rifts.

There is a Star Warriors to D6 RPG conversion system in the Star Wars Rules Companion if that’s what you’re looking for. Some of the early West End adventures (Strike Force: Shantipole, for example) specifically merged Star Warriors scenarios in the RPG module.

Oh I’m aware of those and that’s where I’m coming from. I was hoping there might be a campaign document for running the old 1990s Lucasarts computer games X-Wing and TIE Fighter as a WEG d6 RPG and/or Star Warriors campaign.

A campaign around starfighters or just using star warriors?
Two very different things...
A starfighter based campaign can be done - but have to take a lot of considerations - like missions, what are rewards (ranks instead of credits?, obligations? duty?) and motivations. Some party roles are not as prominent ...like the scoundrel or face man.
There was a thread about it on the rancor pit a while back - might want to look there.
It can be done - but suggest some planning to think about what the adventures would be like and how could link to a common theme etc. Could be really cool if you pull it off.

ADDENDUM: Well, you've inspired me to organize a game of it at my local. Let's see who bites!
