I remember a couple from my d6 days:
1) "you (a male) awake to find yourself in a circular room, there's no windows. As you look around you notice something odd ... the whole room is pink. Pink pillows, pink walls, and even a luscious pink bed. Secondly you notice that you're tied up, sitting on a large pink cushion. Minutes later two stormtroopers walk in ..."
2) "There's chaos all around you, blaster bolts are flying past your head. Numerous ships are lifting off and fleeing the scene and jumping into hyperspace. A Wookie suddenly jumps into hyperspace ..."
3) (from #2 minutes later) "Your ship jumps into hyperspace ... You look out the window to your left and notice a mouse droid jumping into hyperspace ..."
4) (during a game, out of character)
B: Damnit, I've lost my dice again!"
GM: "Hey T, stand up for a minute." low and behold the missing dice! T: "Sorry ... my arse is a black hole"
From D20
1) I created an noble NPC who had a knack for getting into mischief. While on Tatooine, while away from the PCs, he managed to get into a betting debt, owing Jabba the Hutt some 10,000 credits. I did this to try and piss the PCs off (as well as actually make them Roleplay when they spoke to eachother) -- they got me back by making me roleplay an entire conversation between the noble and his father.
2) Same noble, same game, became known as "batha fadder" -- while chasing a space pirate the PCs went down a corridor and soon found themselves face-to-face with an E-Web. The noble recieved a critical hit and of course died instantly (cheers of joy soon followed)
3) Another NPC, this time a soldier, a very large black man named Bubba. Bubba became very attached to our Jedi player. Bubba was known to say "You have purdy eyes", "i really likes you, would you be my special friend"; and took every chance to touch the Jedi (now Bubba wasn't gay, he just really liked Jedi). [I threaten Jedi players now with Bubba ... and if they go too far, then the pink room will be their next destination]

Oh I forgot one from my d6 days -- had to be the funniest moment (IMO)
I was playing a Kid. As some of you may know the kid carries a sling shot. Well, you've got to have some ammo for the sling shot so I purchased some duristeel ball bearings. Anyway. The group I was with was being chased by some woman had her goons. When she caught up to us we got involved in blaster fight which soon turned into oen-on-one. And for whatever reason the woman chose me as her combatant. Naturally I didn't stand a chance, and when she knocked me down, and stood over me, there was only one thing I could do. I shoved a ball bearing (or two) striaght between her legs (where the sun dont shine).

I had a Kubaz who was a professional bug taster. His job was to wander arround the galaxy in quest of new delicasies to send home. Used to gross-out other members of the party with descriptions and critiques of the local insect population. "Mmmmm... crunchy. Might go well with a crushed berry sauce, once you remove the wings. Thorax is quite tasty, but the antenna are a bit bitter. Squiggles well going up the snout, but doesn't squirm very long." "Zzzzz Oooo, a blood drainer parasite. They always have the best juice sacks." This while disecting an M&M or candy bar with schlurping sounds. Only character I ever made who put points into beast riding.
I also had an Oortolan chef who was quite fun. He would run arround sampling restraunts and wild herbs, depending on the adventure. "+1d to survival rolls involving food, from foraging in the wild to locating a 5-star restraunt" came in handy. OK, I shamelessly abused it. He was also highly skilled with knives and carried a complete set in an apron arround his waist. Even in places with strict weapon laws, he was able to get by fully armed (for him). THe things he did with a mellon scooper. <shudder>
And the most obnoxious character I ever had was Salaicia, a Griffin Messenger with a Buffy-the-Vampire-slayer/Cordelia personality. Non-stop prattling valley-girl. I've been forbidden from ever using that accent at games again. (Not because I was good at it, just because people got that annoyed.

Just recently-this is in WoW, not SW- I created a paladin who rolls the dice to determine what god/godess he prays to.
This recently backfired.
I was roleplaying healing a disease, and I rolled a trickster god, who gave me "the big knife of healing.". I proceeded to stab someone into good health.

The only other instance of walking on water is Jesus.
Therefore, Jesus is a ninja.

I was running a Jedi Purge era game. One character was a Padiwan named Madrik who had escaped the Purge (played by a newbie to RP’ing). In the course of the game Madrik ended up having to fight in a gladiator pit. I figure it would be a challenging encounter for a low-ish level character, but with some clever application of the Force very doable without raising eyebrows.
Somehow the idea that he could use the Force escaped him. Three rounds of combat in he’s just about done for. Realizing the entire arc of my story is about to reach a premature end, with no way to salvage it, I look the player square in the eye and say, “You hear a disembodied voice in your head that says, ‘Use the Force, Madrik!’”
Same game ~8 sessions later, the group was on a space station that had been deserted for a few centuries. Something had messed up the central computer and all the systems and droids were malfunctioning. In reality I thought inserting a dungeon crawl sort of game into the arc would be fun, and this was my dungeon in space.
So they fight through some encounters and come to a logic puzzle. One of the players had actually taken a logic class with me, so he in particular attacked the problem with gusto, but it still took them upwards of an hour to find the solution (with some grudgingly accepted hints from me).
A few more encounters later they come to the last door, which is locked by a malfunctioning receptionist droid, another logic puzzle. My friend who was in the Logic class with me, looks at me, has his character pull his blaster and blow the droid away at point blank range.
I told them it would take six hours to burn through the last door. They didn’t mind.

Guy has been playing this foppish dilitante/cat burglar for over a year. He is the profligate prodigal son. After 17 adventures within a few day's travel of their main city, they go abroad. Being well connected, he is able to land the party in the hands of a most hospitable lord with ease that surprizes even him.
During drinks after dinner:
"So, I understahd you'd like to marry my daughter?"
Player is drinking his soda manages to both snarf and spray the table. "Excuse me!?!"
"Forgive me for being so blunt. I find it saves time and embarrasment in these matters. Your father's letter was most clear when he suggested the marriage. After dinner tonight, I so no reason to object so long as she agrees."
"Excuse me for just a momment. I need to make a call..."
One guy played an astromech with points in beast riding. We never did figure out why...
"I want to hack into the bank."
"Uh, sure. Roll it" Yeah right! this is going to need a 35.
"22+ a 6" "And a 6" "And a 6" "and a 5. 45"
"Hello, system administrator. How may I help you?"
They went on to liquidate most of the large account holder's assets (anyone with more than 60k credits) in swamp land and junk stocks. And they helped themselves to 481 credits necessary to complete their current mission. Just for fun, since they were there. These are the same people who used the ship's tractor beam to create crop circles on a planet with only industrial era/steam technology, just for fun.
For atmospheric effect, a tavern had a lighting system that rotated color spectrum every 30 seconds. When the lights shifted to ultra violet, the Defel in the party lit up like a rainbow. Caused gasps and shrieks throughout the bar.
One guy was using a Pringles tube for a dice carrier. We'd been gaming for over an hour & debating getting some snacks when he reaches over, opens the tube on the table, and starts munching. We stare at him. "What? It's been sitting on the table all evening. No one noticed?"

I'll fly a starship across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, but I will remain, and I'll be back again...

You'd be surprised. Those little freaks are like a Swiss army Knife of +2 everything. It'd probably use claws secreted in the treads to dig into the beasts skin, causing it to hold on and the beast to move.
That, or magnetism. Magnetism can solve anything.

This one can be summed up in three sentences...
"Excuse me, pilot? You seem to be trying to use the shields deflect the planet. It isn't working."

Polymorph Other is a fun spell.
This one group of wizards in a crowded city set traps on their belt pouches. Anyone attempting to open the pouch without the correct password was changed into a tramp/hobo type dog. Magic Mouth adds "whoever steals from _____ is nothing but a common cur." Not knowing about this, one of the more obnoxious players (a bard) in an oversized group stole the pouch, then, while away from the rest of the party, opened it. When he went to find the ship the party had sailed in on, some of the crew and dock workers kicked him & tried to drive the nuisance animal away. Finally he got through to the wizard and did doggie-pawing to explain who he was.
"Well, you cas polymorph self earlier, didn't you?"
nod
"well, you know you can change shape up to 3 times with that spell, right?"
paw smacks self in head.
In the middle of combat, one of the opposing mages casts polymorph other and turns one of the party into a rat.
"I ask ___ to change me back."
"Um, how exactly are you going to to that? you have the vocal aparatus of a rat."
"Uhhh...."
we happened to have a rat puppet there that night. I tossed it at him.
"Here, you can communicate using this"
Puppets are fun. Folkmanies boot posterior.

I have now bookmarked this thread... give me a few days to wrack by brains, and I can probably add a couple of extra pages... 
Largely due to:
Koohii posted:
"Uh, sure. Roll it" Yeah right! this is going to need a 35.
"22+ a 6" "And a 6" "And a 6" "and a 5. 45"
I hear ya, bro.
One that happened just an hour or two ago:
Playing through the culmination of a 2-year story arc (real world,) we're trapped inside the head of one of our main characters as he faces all of the dead allies & villains that he's ever encountered while fighting for dominance of his body between himself (as he used to be,) himself (as he is no, vengeful and bitter,) an Alias brought to life, a massive dosage of Imperial Brainswashing (personified,) and the life force/memories of a crystaline warrior now vying for dominance. (We're D6, mind you, and have been through most of the WEG supplememnts.) As the scene shifts from Charnge (a made up world in the Unknown Regions) to the Game Chambers of Questal to the Rebel safe world under seige from the Charron and more, we arrive at the players least favoirte destination of all time: the swamp-world of Trinta, from 'Domain of Evil.' After a brief confrontation with his personal demons (represented by the individuals responsible for killing each of the PCs that has died since his character began) a veritable army begins to rise out of the swampy waters: a corpse army consisting of betrayed comrades from Elrood, abandoned friends from Demophon, and scores of others in a host of accusations and anger...
...and as I begin to narrate this epic culminating conflict, I'm being drowned out by 'The Old Bamboo' musical number from Chitty-chitty-bang-bang that the PC's little sister is watching in the same room.  
Anyway... many, many more stories to come...

Wow.... I see not everyone plays Star Wars as I do! Hehehe. Really interesting to see what some people feel fits into a Star Wars adventure. It might still be the same universe and system, but by God! This is a completely different game you're playing, from the one I do.
More power to you, bro.

Well, you could call this particular scenario a 'divergance' from our standard gameplay format... kind of the 'Crisis On Infinite Earths' of our little RPG. But yeah, we've done some crazy things...
