Actually the System built for West End Starwars actually was pushed as a 
generic system.  They called it the D6 system.  Men in Black and a few other 
games used it.  Of course West End also had the Master lock( I think that 
was the name of the system).  Which they used for a whole slew of games(Tank 
Girl, Species, and of course the totally Awesome Shatterzone).

Honestly I never like West Ends system.  I always thought that character 
Generation was really weak.  It always seemed like they really wanted you to 
use there Archtypes, and not to come up with unique characters. IMHO. That 
and some of the later books took a lot of liberties with the expanded 
universe.
