Does she play RPG?
Yeah, it's kind of funny actually. About the time our PbP was starting to wind down, some friends of hers from work invited her to try out their D&D 3.5 group. It was on a night I couldn't attend, but she's connected well with these few people at work, so she decided to hang out with them, and had a lot of fun with it. Since then, that group has switched nights, so now I play with them when I can, and the GM for that group loves trying out all sorts of different things, so if there's times when the whole D&D group can't meet up, we've been playing around with other RPG systems, like some Mutants thing, and now he's wanting to try Star Wars.
And then I talked her into playing in the Dawn of Defiance campaign that Lackey started a couple months ago. She's not super-interested in the technical/strategy side of things, and only moderately interested in the combat, but she definitely enjoys the creative/story-telling/role-playing aspects. So, she's learning.

I'd love to chime in on this but I am still very inexperienced with this system. I got a great story (actually two that kind of span two seperate eras) that if I could just figure out the bloody system without thinking in terms of my old paradigms, which is ie: unlearn what you have learned, I could work it out.
Its ironic to competely eschew DnD but to have to work with this system.
What in particular are you having trouble with? Personally, I'd never really played either D&D or SWRPG until the last year or so. The way I look at it, the SW system is basically just miniatures, but with D20 rolls outside of the combat scenarios for skill checks and things like that. If you're having specific trouble with anything, start up a thread, and we can try to walk you through it.
