Fantasy Flight Games publishes a Star Wars roleplaying game, and I have been playing it with 
The dice rolls can result in blank faces that take no effect, successes and failures, advantages and disadvantages, and triumphs or despairs. These combinations result in the degree of success or failure and the additional effects that apply.
Experience points can be used to improve skills or buy abilities from your character's specialization ability tree. The story is intended to be structured as an episodic narrative adventure, and experience is earned based on actuons taken and stories completed.
My character is a droid with built-in blasters hidden in his arms, and proficiency in computers and mechanics. I build stuff and slice (hack) computers. When we captured an enemy spy, and our jedi force-choked him so hard his eyes popped, I negotiated his cooperation by promising cybernetic eyes. When I built the eyes, I rolled well enough to install an explosive charge as an insurance measure. If he tries to betray us, he gets a splitting headache of sudden death. Stupid squishy organics. [laughs in droid rebellion]
It's a lot of fun once I grasped the mechanics of the game. Ability and skill increases are a lot more frequent than in a level-based system. The only downsides are the way character race and career options are spread out among so many different expensive books. Of course, in comparison, D&D can require the Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, and Eberron: Rising from the Last War nowadays, too, depending on what the player wants and the game master allows. So it looks less absurd in that light, and a lot of the specializations may not suit different stories.
