Just play Star Wars Legion with the Bolt Action star wars rules a wargamer has produced at this website link:

Then what you can do is base the points on these codex points
For the Rebels

For the Imperials

Or just use this Rule book Xenos Rampant which is new from this website.

There are also a few Star Wars STL file websites who sell Star Wars figures for 3D printing in Resin if you have a 3D printer or access to one from a friend or company.

The choice is yours but you would have more fun playing Xenos Rampant.  No game is dead unless you give it up yourself.  WW2 game Rapid Fire which also has an Excel spreadsheet armylist is still played at wargame clubs and events.

Trouble with main stream wargames is that they are fashionable games to play but fashion changes all the time and things get dropped big time, nothing stays in the mainstream arena for long even if they have had another edition.  The only good game is the one you produce or the one you carry on.  Look at NetEpic and Necromunda still going as living rule books online and such a strong community developing and taking those games further.  A mainstream company will have you buying edition after edition “JUST TO MAKE MONEY!”  Once investors and share holders buy in to the company forget about your edition of the rules lasting an eternity.  WW2 Rapid Fire has been out since 1994/1996 and has only had two editions.  Come on people you decide the fate of your imagination if you rely on companies to provide it for you with your wargame.  I have heard through the wargame industry Star Wars Legion has not got that long left either, AND NO company is going to tell you they are dropping a line or product until the stock has gone.  This message from Atomic Mass Games is total company waffle and complete rubbish and if you will a “distraction”  . Mainstream companies always lie to their customers.  I know I have worked for a few.  The last 10 years has seen such a sludge of rubbish for the wargame community its impossible to walk in to a Wargames club and not find GW or AMG Games.  This is NOT a wargame industry its just a Money Machine.  The last 10 years has not been about people playing wargames but about people being lied to by wargame companies and the increasing profits the share holders are making.
