Looking for Star Wars Saga Edition game

I am a huge fan of star wars but the dice for the Edge of the Empire and Age of Rebellion systems confuse me I am used to a d20 type system. I was hoping that someone could point me towards someone who runs Star Wars Saga Edition or a Gm may state that they would be interested in running a game.
The dice system is the way it is to express a more player interactive design. Failures cancel success, threat cancels advantage. What is left over is the result. Players declare what the advantage left over is used for, the GM states what caused the threats. There is a list of what these can all be used for. It is made this way so there is less hard design work that goes into a session, less maps needed, and more free form play occurring and story. All with GM consent to the actual result, of course. So if you are looking for spare parts, and succeed with advantage, you could have found a superior stock instead of a scrap stock you thought. But succeeding with Threat means you found some parts, but they are low quality or broken.
I understand that but I know that in real life I can't afford to get the dice for the system which means I am required to use standard dice and try to follow the chart in the Edge of the Empire book for results.(Yes there are dice at the table but no one likes to share dice.)
If everyone else is not willing to share, or 12 dollars for dice is too much, you may want to to rethink who you play with. other option is to use a dice roller app on either a phone or the computer ( just google search some). Just select the dice you need to roll, and they show the results. If Gm wont accept that either, walk away from the group.
That is what I ended up doing then I did some looking and found Saga Edition which doesn't seem that horrible but is REALLY outdated it seems.

Saga was a previous incarnation, just like the old, old, OLD D6 Star Wars system. I like the EotE so far the best of the ones ive played. Only major hint I can give: Dump as much XP into stats at character creation as you can (as its the only time you can), even taking extra obligation if you need to, to get another 2 to a 3. AGI is king stat ( all ranged combat, piloting, and some others ). Also, avoid driods unless you know the GM will be very free with cash. Droids start with less in stats than anything else, and cant afford to raise them as high with the XP they begin with. But a droid can get 6 cybernetics, no matter what his Brawn. So droids with plenty of money can balance the stat discrepancy out and even come out slightly ahead, unlike a fleshy who has to chop limbs off to get the same.

SAGA is not outdated. It is the best incarnation of the D20 system there is. In fact, I happen to think that if D&D 4E had gone SAGA's route it would have been far more successful. But That's Just My Opinion. YMMV. I am not running a SAGA game at the moment, but I hope to in the future, once I've figured out how this Roll20 interface works!
Renegade thanks for showing me your game I am actually working up a story now roughly 800 words in the last 30 minutes x.x Hopefully it will be acceptable.
