Here are some ideas.

[Greetings I'm John]

Use normal chess pieces on the swm miniature map and liberate them from a simple 8x8 game.  Many have a game of chess and the pieces already so why not toss them into the game of star wars!

Here are some possible examples:

Pawn

Costs 2 points (not sure?)

Hp:10

Defense: 15

Attack: 0

Damage: 0

SA

This character may move only one square each turn.

Capture (this character may move onto a square occupied by a enemy,  in doing so that character is now captured and removed from the game)

If a allied character is defeated you may make a save,  upon a successful save of 11 or greater this character may replaces all of it's SA with the defeated character's SAs, current force points, attack,  and damage as the character defeated.)

I'm a chess piece!  (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character)

Knight

Costs (6?)

Hp: 50

Defense 15

Attack: 0

Damage: 0

SA
This character may move three squares a turn as a knight would on a chessboard by traditional rules.
Capture (this character may move onto a square occupied by a enemy, in doing so that character is now captured and removed from the game)

I'm a chess piece! (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character) 

If a allied character with a force rating is defeated you may make a save, upon a successful save of 11 or greater this character may replaces all of it's SA with the defeated character's SAs, force points, attack, and damage as the character defeated.)

Rook (very different than the original)

(costs 6? I don't know)

Hp: 100

Defense: 22

Attack: 0

Damage: 0

SA

This character may move only one square each turn.

Castle (allied non-chess characters may move into the square that this character occupies and be removed from the map.  That character can then later leave the Castle and rejoin the map)

I'm a chess piece! (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character)

Again just tossing out some ideas. There maybe some limits and/or differences between captures and defeats. And the chess pieces may not have to be removed for the swm game to end but I don't know.

Bishop
Costs 5? maybe more?
Hp:20
Defense:12
Attack:0
Damage:0

SA
This character may move in a diagonal pattern like a bishop can in a game of chess to the max of 7 spaces. Ignores rough terrain and movement penalties )
Capture (this character may move onto a square occupied by a enemy, in doing so that character is now captured and removed from the game)
I'm a chess piece! (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character)
If a allied character with a speed of more 8 or more is defeated you may make a save, upon a successful save of 11 or greater this character may replaces all of it's SA with the defeated character's SAs, force points, attack, and damage as the character defeated. The character upon a successful save loses the "I'm a chess piece! special ability etc and movement is changed to the defeated character as with similar effects mentioned above. Though the character it's HP and defense is not changed.
I'm a chess piece! (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character)

Queen
costs: 22?
Hp: 80
Defense: 20
Attack: 0
Damage: 0
SA
This character may move only three square each turn.
I'm a chess piece! (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character)
If a allied character is defeated you may replaces all of the character's SA with the defeated character's SAs, force points, attack, and damage as the character defeated. No save needed. You decide.)

King
Cost: 45
Hp: 160
Defense: 24
Attack: 0
Defense: 0

This character may only move two squares per turn.
If this character is captured by a character with "I'm a chess piece" and not defeated all other chess pieces with the active special ability "I'm just a chess piece" of the King's team are captured.
If a allied character is defeated you may replace all of the character's SA with the defeated character's SAs, force points, attack, and damage as the character defeated with a successful save of 11.)
I'm a chess piece! (If this character is defeated instead of being captured the opposing character that defeated the pawn suffers a -12 defense penalty on the next allied attack against the character)

There are many other rule concerns to get this to work out well because it is complex. I suppose multiple pawns and other characters could try to make a save when a character is defeated. I think these pieces would work out best on games of over 100 points. But it would be very complex to program something that is balanced into a program like VASSAL.

Here are a few other possibly fun customs:

Disney Executive
Cost: 60 points ?? maybe more maybe less
Hp: 10
Defense: 10
Attack: 0
Damage: 0

SA
At the start of the match choose a unique character with a force rating that character gains Marty Stu, Gary Sue, Larry Stu, or Mary Sue however you want to call it. This character gains +4 attack and +4 defense and upon a successful save of 11 takes no damage from any and all attacks. They also have unlimited force points but you ought to make it look like that's not the case.
If this character is captured the match is over.
....not finished. might change.

later I may post some rough drafts for stats for Donald Trump, Bannon, some from the crew of Spaceballs the movie. Adding chess pieces as well to this game has the potential to make it far more interesting. I hope God Almighty blesses you and this site. Praise Yah!

There are also unorthodox chess pieces that could be added to the game of star wars miniatures as well. So not even the sky is the limit.

[Greetings I'm John]

Here is a interesting concept for a swm miniature. Though not sure. I tried to make the fictitious stats less polarizing or mocking as others have done and more simply fun. But I don't know.

The Donald, real TV Star (rough draft) [Fringe]
Cost: 75??
HP: 50
Defense: 14
Attack: 10+
Damage:10
SA
Donald's Apprentices 40 (If you roll a 20,19,or 18, and 17 for a initiative add up to 40 points of living unique rare characters to your squad at the starting location of the map. If you roll a 17,16, 15, or 14 for a initiative add 40 points of common and uncommon living non-unique characters to your squad at the starting location of the map. These characters are then considered unique.)
(If the Donald the real TV Star is taken out of the match, defeated, captured, etc so are all of characters added because of Donald's Apprentices)
Hall of Fame Wrestling Takedown (This character can only do damage to a adjacent enemy. On a roll of 1 Donald takes 10 damage. On a roll of 20 or 19 the defending character is fainted. On a success attack the defending character will be considered fainted not defeated. Wrestling tackle replaces attacks)
You're fired! (Every time they're are more than 15 characters in play as a result of Donald's Apprentices you must fire one before the initiative of the each round. That character is removed from the map.)
If it gets bad enough Oprah I'll run for president! (If you roll the first initiative roll of 1 of either teams in the match you may add ten points of chess pieces to your squad at the starting location. After this occurs all adjacent allies can take damage for an attack against the real TV Star for the rest of the match. )
Rapport 2 (Characters named Steve Bannon cost 2 less when in the same squad as this character)

1 Schwartz Point (works kind of like the force)
