Something everyone needs to pick up is the "star wars galactic phrase book & Travel guide." It's a book that lists common expressions in several star wars languages like hutt, ewok, wookie,droids, etc. It doesn't have much swearing, but I'm sure you can get something out of it.
"Keepuna!" Shoot in huttese.
"Smeeleeya whao toupee upee" Smile when you say that. 
make a series of short buzzes with your tongue: Lower the voltage. You are damaging my molecules (droid).
It's just a lot of fun.
They even translate some of what R2-D2 says:
C3PO: They're heading in this direction!
R2D2: Ok, Ok, but listen.
C3PO: What are we going to do? We'll be sent to the spice mines of Kessel.
R2D2: Enjoy the trip! I've got to get moving. Adios!

It's copy write was 2001. It isn't anything WEG related but it's still funny to read. It costs something like $8 american and $12 canadian. The author's name is Ben Burtt.

ISBN? International Serial Book Number, it's the number that is used by Libraries and Book Stores to order from, and is the perfect way of ensuring that you don't order the wrong book, as often there will be different versions with the same author and title (Eg.: Hoyle's Guide to Poker came out in the 19th Century, and updated versions of it are published today.).
The things you learn working in a Library. |

Like Son of Fire I love to use the Farscape swearing, Frell, drak, etc. I always say to my players keep it like the movies. What was it from Galactica, Frak?

Crap, I can’t remember what BSG swears where like.
But at least I know that some people are on the same page as me in this area of SW at least.
No debate for once.

Shoot, Sorry Ray, I'm in the process of moving into the dorms up at my college and I've packed away most of my non-rpg books already somewhere. Give till this weekend and hopefully I will be able to find that book again.

I was thinking “Sithspit”…from the Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast game.

Oh, here's another way you could get away with something. Have the characters on some remote world and when the group does something stupid have the locals call them a name that doesn't quite make sense. It'll make the characters wonder and the locals may or may not explain that the name is of some holovid character that screws up all the time. For example, a name for us would be like Gommer Pile, or whatever. You could also have some kids walk up to the group and ooo and ahh over them like they're some sort of super hero's like in the movies. Even Star Wars hero's have hero's they look up to ya know. Plus it makes it more realistic I think.

Wow. You guys make my crew look like nothing. We're always letting loose the swears. Our GM just kind of passes it off as a character thing.
GM - "The Imps begin to shoot erratically in your direction and you get shot in the kneecap by a loose blaster bolt."
Dendo Kast - *Drops to the ground* "Aw, f**k. That f**ker shot my leg out!"

There's quite a lot of SW swears. Emperor's Black Bones, Sith Spawn, Sith Spit, Poodo, Blast! just to name a few. I used to have a list of some of the swears used a few years back. Actually, I might be able to check and see if I still have it somewhere.
Edit: Forgot to add Stang to the list.
