Unlike D&D, this game has a form of point buy system.

Check out the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Revised & Expanded p23-36 This has everything you will need to build a new character. If you have any epecific questions, feel free to ask.

A New Player Handout by Cheshire can be found here. You and your friends may find it to be of use.

Yeah, I've given that to people who have never roleplayed before in any system, and they showed up at the table with perfect beginning characters.

I had never seen that player handout; thanks for posting it. Very well done, Cheshire!

Ok, after reading the player handout, I'm going to rephraze what I said before.

Take a look at the player handout and print a copy of that for your player(s). It has everything a new player needs to put together stats for a human character.

The R&E book, GG4, GG12, and Alien Anthology all have additional races that a character can use.

If you want the full character creation rules or need to clarify something from the player handout, check out the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Revised & Expanded p23-36.

Good luck!

That's part n parcel of starting characters though.. They don't all start with everything they need.

Yep, having a few things the character can't do well (to start) gives them something to improve in, and allows for some goals to be set for what they'd like to learn next.

Exactly. Take my guy (current spec force infiltrator) for instance. They start with hide/sneak/search and command under Perception. BUT i felt someone like that should also be good at forgery and conning, skills i had to learn in game.
