So we just had our first big finale in the Fire Across the Galaxy campaign with the Battle of Hoth, and it was so much fun! We also raised $200 for charity during the weekend at the convention we were running out of. Also none of our players were brave enough to try and stay to delay Darth Vader as he marched through Echo base. *le sigh* But all in all it was a great weekend for Star Wars 
The Battle of Hoth
As a Player in this I can attest it was a blast!
From swinging under an AT-AT to charged an Armored Transport on the Back of a Tauntaun while wielding a Missile Launcher, my Gand was SUPER-Heroic and good times were had by all!
GM's did a great job, especially for a first try at a large-scale, multi-group interactive event!

I hope you did Mass Combat rules with it. I'm building something similar and those rules just SING for things like this.
Actually we didn't.
GM's had set up several phases of battle, each phase was 45 minutes of real time so we had limited amount of time in which to make decisions, kinda dded to the rushed tension feel of a battle.
It's been two days since we played and we're still talking about it...lots of players re-invigorated about their characters and the storyline.
Several post-battle inspirational speeches were written and posted to the group...been a lot of fun to read, write and comment on...8)

No we made out own custom rules to accommodate multiple tables of players as this was at a local convention. This is also part of an larger living campaign So there were many things to account for for the future of the campaign. However if you are planning something for just a single group the mass battle rules might work better
