Our group has decided it's time to make the Kessel run. They want to free slaves and get as much "stuff"as possible. I want to make it as non solo as possible, so any suggestions? Also, I thought I saw some hard rules for the run somewhere.

Perhaps in the old WEG books? http://www.d6holocron.com/

If they want to try and cut through the maelstrom, be ready with some crazy stuff to throw at them.

Shall we stat the space octopus (apparently a summa-verminoth?) or just make it an environmental hazard? One eye on the thing is at least a Sil 2. Despair on a piloting check causes a critical roll? HP, Armor equivalent to larger Star Destroyers? Melee attacks, with tractor quality?

Picking back up on this, I found this on the interwebz... (copied from my Facebook post from earlier.)

I found d6 stats. How would they translate to you?
Size Capital
Dex 3D
Perception 1D
Strength 5D

Tentacles STR+2D
Electric discharge 4D ion
Move 5

So, in Sun of Fortune, I did a modular encounter in the back for the Corellian Shuffle, which sort of outlines ONE way of handling smuggling runs like that. Other products might have a different approach or a better one (maybe in Fly Casual?) But that should give you a few places to look for inspiration.
