Every year I and my son and some friends attend Gary Con, a convention held in honor of Gary Gygax, in his hometown where he helped create D&D.
As usual, there's some d6 games being held. This year Bill Slavicsek will be hosting a game. If I can't get into the game, I'll at least try to stop by right before or after the event to get him to sign my book.
Here is the description of the game. In case that link doesn't show everything if you're not signed in to TableTop Games, I'lll copy the basic description below.
Star Wars D6: Betrayal at Bespin
In this modified Star Wars D6 RPG, Bill Slavicsek (one of the original architects of the WEG Star Wars and D20 Star Wars RPGs) presents an exciting Star Wars adventure set during the time of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka that takes the characters back to Cloud City to find out what's happening here since the earlier events of The Empire Strikes Back. Characters will be provided.

In the game right now. I thanked Bill from all of us here and he was very gracious!
We're currently battling stormtroopers on Bespin.

He said he has nothing to publish as it's just a couple pages of notes (it was the last game he was working on for the con). Later on I'll post his modified rules he used for the game (which he gave permission for, as long as credit was given and nobody publishes them).

Now we're confronting a Chevin (Bill couldn't remember the name, even though he made it up) crimelord, his Gamorrean henchmen, and his keeper has a pet acklay.

You're most welcome. He was also kind enough to sign my 2R&E rulebook.
I'm sharing this thread with Bill; I'm hoping he can view it without making an account here.

I take it even non force sensitives can have the force attribute in this game? IF so, what then do they USE that attribute for?

Not 100% sure, but (for instance) I had 2 Force, and thus even though I had no Force powers or abilities, it at least gave me 2 Force points.
