It has the intrigue and imperial structure similar to Dune, some Star Wars concepts (not too many) and some cool back ground. I am just not a big fan of Space Marines.

I use Star Wars as 2/5's and WH40K as another 2/5's of my space campaign...Sith vs. Chaos Space Marines and Jedi vs. Sisters of Battle..oh yeah...and PC Inquisitors...all BRP'ed up! If only the Demons of Copyright Infringement wouldn't utterly destroy my every molecule, I would so put this stuff up for all to see (and ridicule
)
As far as conversions go...they aren't that hard. I usually just cut and paste Wikipedia and add in the game stats where appropriate (but that is for personal use and no one sees those awful printouts but me)...the hard part is formatting (easy these days...just save as .rtf) and getting "correct" data from the lot of sources out there. Doing an "original work" is just a pain if it's for home use, you know?
