My children have a selection of Lego like Star Wars characters that came in Kinder Surprise eggs. I suspect they are about 28mm tall albeit a little portly and you get the chocolate and a plastic egg thrown in free. :D

Played Star Wars with my son using LOTR rules slightly modded. Made all shooting stuff more effective. Seemed to work okay. We haven't quite worked out force powers yet.

Col Bagshot and I used Lotr as a core for our Legends of the Force rules. jedi/sith/force powers all sorted.

Ian has the current version post play testing last month. I will get round to posting the battle reports up when I've got rid of this nurgle's rot. Shoot him a pm.

Cheers

Are the Wizards of the Coast rules not an option? They seem ideal for playing with kids, since the figures are durable and the rules are (based on the one game I had) basically simplified D20, minus all the roleplaying aspects.

I think the game is normally played on a grid, but converting distances from squares to inches should work fine, and if you don't like the plastic pre paints you cold use different figures and just the rules & profiles.

I've used them with my daughter. The fact that the values are on the cards greatly reduces the mount of remembering.

We did avoid most of the special powers though, as they distort things quite quickly.

You need FUBAR by my good mate Craig, They are FREE very easy to play and they have star wars supplements.
