Hey, everyone!
So I recently got my hands on a copy of FATE Core, and I've long wanted to run a Star Wars game focusing on the exploits of a rag-tag bunch of misfits who are just about to complete their starfighter training. So, the way I see it, we should see if these two great tastes taste great together, together! Will it be chocolate and peanut butter? Or will it be lobster and creme brulee? Who knows! Help me find out; you're my only hope.
My Bona Fides
I've been playing and running games for about 20 years now, focusing mainly on D&D (and d20 variants, including all 3 WotC SW versions, Saga preferred), MERPS, and Ars Magica (back in the day). I have made short diversions into d6 Star Wars, Shadowrun, and GURPS (mainly as a player in those). I like trying out new systems, just to see what makes them tick. I haven't been able to try out FATE yet, either as a player or as a GM, and it's a bit hard to find good examples of play, so in the interest of learning and teaching this [relatively] new system, I've decided to just bite the bullet and run a game in it. That's where you come in!
The Setting
http://starwars.com/play/online-activities/crawl-creator/index.jsp?cs=2hv853m2ex
The players will take the part of starfighter trainees, just on the cusp of completing their training and being assigned to a real squadron, in the heady days of the Rebellion just after their victory over the first Death Star. Characters should be at least competent starfighter pilots,* and should plan on fitting into standard Rebel and Imperial fighter cockpits (e.g., no Herglics!). Since this is the midst of the Rebellion, Jedi characters are right out. Force sensitivity isn't, necessarily, but it's also a good way to get the IMPERIAL INQUISITORS really interested in tracking you down.
So, before I go too far down the rabbit hole of posting rule specifics (e.g., which skills we're using from FATE, how we're handling vehicle piloting, etc.), I want to see if there is enough interest. I'm looking for 4-5 active players, willing to put it all on the line to take down the Empire and secure a safe, peaceful future for the Galaxy.**
* And, as the FATE rules mention, FATE characters are generally competent people who get stuff done. Bumbling apprentices and pacifist droids need not apply!
** Well, until the Vong show up and render everything you did meaningless, at any rate.

WHAT IS THIS FATE THING, ANYWAY?
The main cool thing about FATE, for me, is Aspects. These are, to put it in as few words as possible, Things You Might Capitalize When Talking About Your Character. Like, Han Solo? He's a Roguish Flyboy, he's got a Secret Heart of Gold, and he's Massively In-Debt to Jabba the Hutt.
Aspects come up in play pretty often, if they're good (and there's a lot of discussion around what makes good Aspects out there). You can use them to benefit you, when you're doing something appropriate to one of them. For instance, Han Solo needs to pull off a tricky maneuver, so he could sped a Fate point to get a bonus because he's a Roguish Flyboy. Or, maybe he could spend one to make the adminstrator of this Cloud City someone he knows from way back, because he's been dealing with crime syndicates a lot (hence being Massively in Debt). And I, as the GM, could give Han Solo a Fate point to make things more difficult for him, like, "Well, you're Massively in Debt to Jabba the Hutt, so it would make sense that some bounty hunters track you down and hold you at gunpoint as you try to leave the cantina in Jabba's hometown; sucks to be you!"
This back-and-forth Fate point economy is one of the driving forces of the game.

Well, there's kind of an issue with droids having behavioural limiters and all that jazz, plus left-over combat droid hatred from the recently-ish concluded Clone Wars, and I don't know if they'd require special handling in the FATE rules, but if you're willing to work through that stuff, then so am I!

Idea: the droid is the pilot for a highly-experimental drone, that flies with the other fighters but exists to dodge around and jam enemy sensors/communication. No problems with behavioral limiters, but still provides a useful function in the dogfight, and better than anyone else could in some ways since there would be no need for life support and such.
Hm - highly experimental, super-specialized hardware seems like the sort of thing the Rebellion would be going out and stealing from the Empire, rather than something a rookie graduating starfighter class would be dealing in. How about keeping that as a long-term goal?

I am also super interested.
Ahah! When you put it like that, I think I can see how it fits in a bit better. Less, "hush hush super secret project" and more "squadron mechanics threw this together off-the-clock." I can dig that!
So, it looks like we've got four interested parties, which meets my "get this off the ground" criteria, which is awesome considering how short a time since I out this up.
I'll give people a little longer to see if someone else wants to hop in, but y'all should plan on starting char gen soon. Thanks for volunteering for this experiment with me!

I host a podcast about movies.
Since FATE is a toolkit for running a game, and does not have an assumed setting like most RPGs, the first part of running a FATE game is tailoring it to the game you want to run. It has several steps to go through when creating the game, so let's do them together! The key point to keep in mind is that characters in FATE games should be:
So, as the GM, it's my job to put your characters in situations where those traits come to the fore, and you help out by choosing character who can meet those challenges. So let's get down to creating this game.
THE SETTING
Most of the work here is already done for us, because our setting is STAR WARS - specifically, STAR WARS during the Rebellion right after the Rebel victory at Yavin IV and the destruction of the first Death Star. The players will be taking on the role of characters who are part of a Rebel training squadron at a hidden Rebel training facility who are just about to graduate. Since this is FATE, the characters should already be decent pilots at this point, and we'll explore a bit more about that when we get to the character creation stage. Key points to think about here is how devastatingly angry the Emperor is with his new battlestation wrecked, and how the Rebellion has suddenly just established itself as a legitimate threat the Empire.
THE SCALE
Next, we determine how epic in scope vs. how personal our game is going to be. My thoughts here are, well, it's Star Wars - space opera at its finest. While I'm not slave to the canon (otherwise I wouldn't be running a game set during the films), I'd like to focus on the parts of the Rebellion where the movie main characters don't show up all that often, and therefore on something a little more local in scope. For those of you who have played it before, think of the Tapani sector. Well, to start, at least. Here, I'd really like your opinions on what kind of game you'd like to see.
THE BIG ISSUES
Here is where we first encounter the creation of Aspects, when we lay out the two (plus or minus) main things that will be driving the action in our game. These two Aspects are important, because they'll probably exist in some form for the entire game, and they're available as invocations and compels for everyone. Before we get much further, let's talk about what that means.
Aspects: Invocations and Compels: A Sidebar
Invoking and compelling are the two ways in which you use an Aspect, when it isn't serving as a general roleplaying guideline. When you invoke an Aspect, you are stating that some part of that Aspect will help you out here, and you can either improve a dice roll (+2 to a roll, or reroll entirely) or state some story-based factor that the character realistically would have no control over (e.g., that you actually have a hydrospanner with you, or that you know the somewhat-shady administrator of the backwater Tibanna gas mining facility from back in the day). Invoking costs you a Fate point (most of the time).
Similarly, compelling happens when someone (usually me, as the GM) decides that, hey - your character is in a situation that won't go well or will probably get worse because of their Aspects. This usually comes in the form of, "You have ____ aspect and are in ____ situation, so it makes sense that, unfortunately, ____ would happen to you. Damn your luck," or "You have ____ aspect and it makes sense that you would do _____ action, which doesn't work out." For the Han Solo example, that might be: "You have the Massively In-Debt to Jabba the Hutt aspect and are in a cantina in Mos Eisley, so it makes sense that, unfortunately, one of Jabba's goons would shake you down for all the money you just got paid. Damn your luck." When one of your Aspects is compelled, you have a choice - you can accept the complication, and get a Fate point; or, you can pay a Fate point to avoid the complication entirely. Taking the second option is a tough choice, because accepting Compels is generally how you regenerate your store of Fate points, which let you do more cool things later on - and, it generally drives the story in an interesting direction, if we're all doing it right.
So, the big issues are Aspects which apply to everyone - NPCs and PCs alike - and serve as the fundamental driving forces of the adventure. They come in two flavors: Current (things which are happening now), and Impending (things that are about to happen). Lots of games like to use one of each - something Current to keep things moving while fighting to prevent the Impending issue. I think, for this game, that we might want to focus a little bit more on the short-term, and use two Current issues, but I'll open this up to group discussion - they should tie in with the scale we select.
The first current issue seems to be pretty obviously "The Empire."

Scale: This could easily focus more on the progress of the war, and the expansion of the Rebellion, two things the movies pretty much ignored. Local-ish, certainly.
Example...
Of course, I changed all the names and likenesses, so they had no idea what they were doing at first. Once they figured out they had decimated the Rebellion's command staff, they betrayed the ISB Agent in an epic space battle, stole his Interdictor, and scouted out Korriban in prep for a daring rescue next week.
My thoughts on stuff...
THE SETTING - The Empire is on the warpath following the destruction of the first Death Star. The Rebel fleet is fighting a series of rearguard actions, trying to stay out of the way of the overwhelming Imperial forces. It's also a time of establishing more allies, bringing in better tech, and daring raids. Every military engagement is vitally important, as it either further establishes the Rebellion's military legitimacy... or results in the loss of incredibly valuable war materials.
THE SCALE - I don't know much about the Tapani sector (yay!), but to me, I don't know how things get much bigger than starfighter battles. Except, maybe, really big starfighter battles. There could be some interpersonal conflict.
THE BIG ISSUES - I might spice up "The Empire" a bit to something like "The Empire Wants Us All Dead, Including You, Yes You, Specifically". But even so... how would I Invoke that? Probably to do something specifically against the Empire, like shooting at a TIE fighter... but if that's the case, when would I not? Something like "All Out War" has a similar problem.
What if we turned it around a bit? "Known Rebel Agents" or "Known Rebel Starfighter Pilots"? Or maybe just "Members of the Rebellion"? We could Invoke it when trying to leverage our status, you could Compel it any time things got even a little bit hairy.
As for an Impending Issue... maybe "The Rebellion is on the Run" or "Looking for Allies", depending on what you want to focus on?
Yeah - that part comes when we turn it into a real aspect, which we'll do after character creation. I like the direction of your thoughts, though, and was already thinking about something like, "The Empire is Everywhere" or maybe "The Empire's Hunters are Everywhere." Food for thought.
As far as scale goes, I think the Fate SRD gives a pretty good example of what a small focus is. Their main example game is a swords-and-sorcery adventure where the "heroes" spend their time as swords for hire for local barons, petty lords, and town mayors, rather than a Final Fantasy-esque or LOTR "Epic Quest to Save the World (TM)." So, in this case, a tighter focus might be "We need to bring [System] into the Rebellion," rather than "We, personally, will be taking down the Emperor, Vader, and Death Star II."
That ties in pretty well with ...
... and ...
As far as sticking with canon goes, I'm not a slave to the canon by any means; if I was, I'd just go watch the movies!
That being said, I prefer to run Star Wars that take place in something that's recognizably the Star Wars universe; there's a point where, well, to steal your examples
I think there'll probably be a bit less of an issue compared to the recent game you quote since you'll all be on the Rebellion's side, and therefore not likely to go off murdering the Heroes of Yavin just for kicks.
EDIT: I guess, summarizing my views, in my preferred world, the stuff that happens on-screen in the movies will still be able to happen. Anything else - games, comics, books, whatever - is completely fine to contradict the hell out of it.
* This really goes for just about any published setting for me.

Assuming you do have room, let me chime in here and read the spoiler. If not, I'll be content to watch from the sidelines:
Scale: I have heard about the Tapani sector but don't know too much about it either. Which makes it fit very well with what I think we're trying to establish here. Starfighter battles like in the movies are for the big climax moments. Our group of rebels would be more focused on events in our own sector of space rather than the galaxy at large. I suppose most of the rebels would be locals (My character would be, anyway), and any movie-like raging starship battles of awesomeness would be a large plot oriented thing where rebels from all over are gathered for a fleet engagement. I don't think, right after the Battle of Yavin, there is much of a Rebel Fleet anyway. IIRC, Sectors in Star Wars are pretty big anyway, so I don't think we'd lose the splendor of space opera in keeping within the sector.
Issues: Not 100% on how these big aspects get invoked exactly, but I think I understand the gist of it. If "The Empire" is the big thing, is it not quite a broad subject to invoke against? I like what JDarksun is saying there about the aspect being more about the Rebels rather than the Empire.
As far as the empire as a current issue, if I may be so bold, that hops into immediacy if we aren't on a planet that originally belonged to humanity. The worst victims of the empire seemed to be "aliens" - how about we are near humans ala the zabrak?
I host a podcast about movies.
(Hey, he said no Herglics...
That makes five players, which is about as many as I think I want to start with!
I really like the direction all are going with your thoughts on the issues, and they align pretty closely with my own first guess at the direction for the game, so we'll call that a win. So, for now, we'll call the big issues "The Empire Is Everywhere" and "The Rebellion Needs Allies;" they're both current issues. We can revise these later after we go through character creation if need be.
And, since my off-the-cuff reference to the Tapani Sector has seemed to somehow magically Forcefully gain traction, let's plan on using that area for the game's major operations (...eventually
The next step in creating the game is ...
IMPORTANT FACES AND PLACES
Well, since we'll be dealing with the Tapani sector, a name immediately jumps out at me: Grand Admiral Octavian Grant, a Tapani native, nobleman, military genius, and major proponent of the Empire's humanocentric policies (hating, especially, droids). That aligns pretty well with some of the signals I'm getting from the crowd,* so let's mark him down as an important NPC. Since he's a key player, we will need to come up with some aspects for him. Given what I know about him, and how I think I'll end up using him, I think his first aspect is Born Better than You. For now, that's probably enough.
There're probably some additional faces in the training squadron that deserve write-ups, like the squadron mechanic whose brainchild @Captain Carrot's character is, but we'll hold off on defining them for now until after character creation, since that should give us some good fodder for designing them.
The Tapani Sector itself is going to be an important place, and I have a couple more in mind for later on, but they don't need aspects at this point. It's enough to just note them down. Another important location is the current Rebel training facility where you are all undergoing your training. In my head, it's a bit understaffed, very under-provisioned, and not known for its scintillating nightlife. If anyone has anything in particularly they'd like to specify about the base, I'm all ears - but let's not spend a lot of time and effort on it; you're all about to graduate and be reassigned, after all.
CREATING THE CHARACTERS
Now, we get to the point where we actually create your characters. Woohoo! Fate uses a character creation scheme unlike most RPGs, in that it is collaborative - it is, in fact, part of playing the game of Fate. And, you'll notice that character ideas you've been floating have already been adjusting the direction of game creation, which is actually kinda cool for me.
The first step in creating your characters is to identify two things:
These are going to form the two most important aspects of your character, the parts that really get down to the fundamentals of who that character is. I recommend reading the section of the SRD on these things here for a good description. Going back to the Han Solo example, his high concept might Roguish Flyboy, and his trouble is pretty plainly Massively In-Debt to Jabba the Hutt.
Remember that if you can't quite get the words on the aspects right right now, that's okay. Just get the idea written down, bounce it off of the gallery, and we can refine it later. Let's have at it!

Trouble: It's Not Easy Being Gray. Said droid faces some discrimination, ranging from outright hostility and unequal treatment to wariness and discomfort. This may extend, to some extent, to members of the Rebellion.
Digging It's Not Easy Being Gray, though.
As a more general note, although this is a starfighter squadron-focused game, everyone should anticipate needing to get out and walk around from time-to-time, either as pre-battle scouting, or perhaps liaising with the locals.

I host a podcast about movies.
Here, we'll be taking advantage of one of the neater rules of Fate, sometimes called the Bronze Rule of Fate or the Fate Fractal, which is essentially this: Anything in Fate can be treated as a character. That is, anything - like the environment, tools and equipment, or even the game itself - can get character stats like aspects, skills, and stunts. We've already seen this in action: while defining what kind of game we'd like to play, we've added two aspects to the game itself (the "big issues").
So, how will we be handling starships?
The Fate rules provide some example vehicle rules, for things like incidental vehicles - where they really just serve as a chance to roll a Drive check and are otherwise pretty much ignored - all the way up to full constructs. I think, given that we're playing a starfighter-focused game, I'd like the rules to reflect that focus, and we'll be using something a little more towards the weighty end. So here's my current write-up from the rules post:
Starfighters and Vehicles:
Let's go through what each item means.
Permissions are things you need to do to access the extra - the narrative justification that allows you to take an extra in the first place. For the most part, you establish permission to take an extra with one of your character’s aspects, which describes what makes your character qualified or able to have it. You can also just agree it makes sense for someone to have an extra and call it good. For us, everyone will be using starfighters, so there's already permission for everyone to make use of this extra.
Costs are things you have to spend from your character build resources to use the extra. So, if we were introducing a new skill - like the Slicing skill, also listed above - you would need to pay out a skill choice in order to make use of the extra. Here, we are dealing with vehicles, so apart from the obvious cost - you should probably take Pilot as a skill! - you might also spend various aspects and stunts to make better use of them.
Aspects are aspects you gain access to by employing the extra. A-wings, for instance, might have the Ridiculously Maneuverable aspect, and when piloting an A-wing, you could invoke that aspect if you needed to do something related to zipping around. Unlike character aspects, these don't have to have positive and negative points-of-view on them (though the can, obviously!), and can instead be completely positive or completely negative, as the situation dictates.
Stunts are somewhat similar to aspects in that you gain access to them by employing the extra, but they tend to be more limited in scope. They're the "special moves" of the Fate game, and we'll discuss them a bit more when we get to this part of character creation.
When it comes to taking damage, "normal" vehicles in Fate can take consequences (which are like long-term hitpoints with added bite) but don't have stress (which are a type of hit points that refresh between scenes). In D&D terms, stress boxes are like your normal hit points - they come back on their own relatively quickly, especially with a couple wands of lesser vigor - but consequences are like "broken arm," which require a lot more to remove. Normal vehicles have 1 consequence box, cool vehicles have 2, and super awesome military vehicles can have 3.
But, that's in the normal rules. We're going to be doing starfighter combat routinely, which requires a bit more rules support. So, what I think we'll do is take the normal character HP rules and repurpose them.
Now, normally, vehicles don't get stress boxes, but I think that they work really well for shields (for those vehicles which have them). So, we'll file the serial numbers off and include that. Physical stress I'm not so certain of that making sense, so we'll leave it alone for now. And we'll leave the default consequences largely alone until we get a better handle on how they work out in play - but changing the number available is a good way to show a more fragile vessel or a sturdier fighter.
I think we'll also play a bit with weapon and armor values (which are essentially bonus damage or DR, in D&D parlance). More on that later.
So, taking all of this into account, what does that leave us with? How about a couple examples:

Name: Khrussk? Kras? Kron? Slyssk?
High Concept: Big Gun Hunter. As with most Trandoshan, Slyssk is obsessed with acquiring Jagganath points. But unlike his brethren that focus on more... terrestrial concerns, Slyssk believes he has found the perfect combination: starfighter pilot for the Rebellion. Not only will Slyssk pit himself against some of the most powerful forces in the galaxy, he would more likely be killed than captured if anything went wrong. He can't lose!
Trouble: Loose Cannon. Hailing from a society built around aggression and violence, most sentients see Trandoshans in general as needlessly confrontational. Slyssk is no exception, often going out of his way to pick fights and take the most dangerous missions. He also has a nasty habit of playing fast and loose with the rules, especially if it means taking dangerous opponents.
probably something related to violent outbursts, a short temper, or general bloodlust. Needs work and a fancy title.
But... ballpark OK?
As for your trouble, definitely need some more fleshing out, but Loose Cannon might keep the ... puns ... going.
But yeah - definitely in the ballpark.
