Same. I got my start on RPGs playing Palladium's Robotech, and it's only possible to like Palladium's rules if you've never played anything else, and thus have nothing else to compare it to.
I have no plans to port any of Palladium's rule systems over, but some of their concepts make for useful crossover fodder. Frankly, I think karumi-jutsu makes more sense in the SWU than it does in Ninjas & Superspies.

Yes. It certainly shouldn't happen automatically, but there is mention in the EU of Jedi being trained in parkour-style movement techniques, as well. A combination of the two should allow a Force user who isn't wounded or otherwise unable to take the appropriate action to survive falls from great height.
