What are the Touchstones of Traveller?

Magic is an area of research for Imperial Research Stations and there is at least one world where it occurs...
Thieves' World

... which means it's MgT2 also, right?

Not in any official way.
And, as a fan of FFE/Edge Star Wars (EotE/AoR/F&D), I'm glad Mongoose didn't get the SW license. (Matthew tried.)
I've considered using SW dice with Traveller. Att/3 = dice from att, skill level is ised full. Any modifiers add blue/black.

Might have been too big a franchise to swallow; also, spacecraft design makes no logical sense.

spacecraft design makes no logical sense.

Star Wars spacecraft design goes off the deep end of gee whiz Sci-Fantasy rather than even attempting to have anything to do with rules and/or realism. Star Wars spacecraft are the equivalent of a fantasy football kitbash extravaganza done with a "damn the realism, full throttle ahead!" mentality where all that matters is the Rule Of Cool.

... because they're the RPG-game implementation of CINIEMATIC PROPS AND SETS, not the prouctss of a consistent "set of engineering principles".
