I don't see a SWRPG connection.
SW had very different mechanics.
I have, however, used a SW-like mechanic with CT in the past (then the DGP CT came to my attention, and shortly thereafter MT came out) of Roll Skill D6's and total, add attribute, vs 5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50 (Trivial/Very Easy/Easy/Moderate/Hard/Very Hard/Heroic/Very Heroic/Epic/Very Epic)
While it worked, I can't say it worked well. I changed the 8+ be easy, and 11+ to be hard...

i know this has come up before but why do you think a task system is a good thing ? i've never seen the need for it .
the ref sets the roll required based on 8+ dms for skills and anything the ref decides ; the player tries to make it , the ref describes the outcome . if the player really feels the roll set is not reasonable , he explains why , the ref listens then makes a decision . thats what refs are for .
task systems box you in .

The problem is in CT the 8+ rule is only for combat.
Virtually every single skill has its own target number and skill level/attribute variables.

A task system is a good thing because:
1) it provides a consistant roll mechanic for all actions (or almost all).
2) it streamlines the GM's job of categorizing player actions for how difficult they are
3) it regularizes modifiers to "significant" (affects difficulty), or not significant (doesn't afect difficulty).
4) it usually provides a shorthand notation for extant rules.
5) it provides a rule for unusual situations and their effects. Like hasty or cautious tasks.
6) it reduces rules redundancy in the skills section.
7) it takes the math of (EG: CT) the engine and puts it into human readable labels. Not a benefit for some, but crucial to others.
EG: Cold Starting a PP: Routine, Engineering & Edu, 10minutes (x 3d-mods in part of the DGPCT/MT task system). Due to the centralized task rules, I know that if you want to do it fqast, it becomes hard, E&E, 5m. If you want to crash implode start it, I can readily extrapolate Form, E&E, 2m, Haz, Fateful.
