In D20, you have to wait to go up a level before you improve, no matter what skills you use or actions you undertake. Plus it's heavily geared towards combat. In BRP, you improve the skills you use, and the system allows for a role-play element to the story to become more central. I know Star Wars is action based, and BRP is rather gritty. But play-testing has gone to show how BRP is rather suited to the setting.

Is moving from the WEG D6 system to BRP difficult? I don't own much in the way of SW WEG products, just Shadows of the Empire and the Imperial Sourcebook. My own experience with porting to BRP has been relatively smooth (with the exception of Shadowrun). If you have the mods you used, I would be interested in seeing them. I am always on the lookout for system port rules into BRP and D6 seems a bit flaky to me.
Also, I completely agree on the combat oriented aspects of D20...combat is something that should either be avoided or made as quick as possible to reduce the chances of PC death...not somthing that should be spread out over 40 combat rounds (which WoTC seems to bragging about in some other forums...sheesh).
