Hi, curious if there are online groups to play this? That is, if there aren't many local meet ups, can you play this game online?

Tons. You looking for Play By Post or Skype-type games?

I am looking for both. Can you point me in the right direction?

I am looking for some groups as well. Not many play SW RPGs at my local hobby shop. Any online groups would be awesome.

We are running a few games over on the d20radio boards (d20radio.com/forums). These forums themselves could be set up to run a PbP...there's a great BBCode-friendly dice roller on Orokos.

I would post in the main Edge of the Empire board if you're interested in Skyping.

The FFG SWRPG Google+ community is also another good place to look.
