Our game, by contrast, had a lot of Force stuff in it. That definitely explained a lot of the slowdown. I definitely felt that non-Force characters were able to resolve more quickly. Don't get me wrong---we had a lot of fun with SWD6 over the campaign, but it definitely had its issues. One of them was just the sheer tediousness of adding up pools of six to eight die pools over and over. It also has defense rolls and round-by-round initiative, both of which I now totally believe are recipes for the slows.
