I have been running Iron Gods set on Golarion, but with a lot of added Star Wars flavor. The crashed ships were all from the Star Wars universe. They were from the Outbound Flight mission that, in my story, was successful in leaving the galaxy for the Unknown Regions and beyond. I have reskinned robots as various types of droids. I have also incorporated the Star Wars Saga Edition Force mechanics. One of the PCs becoming Force Sensitive after meeting a new Jedi and being exposed to a Jedi holocron.
A few years ago I attempted to convert the Savage Tide AP from Dungeon Magazine, but only ran part of the first adventure before my players decided it wasn't Star Wars enough.

I've never played Star Wars but it seems to me Skulls and Shackles would work very well if you wanted a game more like Solo, which doesn't involve the central Empire vs. Rebellion conflict as much. Just treat the ports and islands as different planets.
One thing I'm curious about is how do you handle undead? They seem to be very much outside anything found in Star Wars.

Before I started it in Pathfinder I seriously considered doing Jade Regent as a Star Warsy Starfinder game with a bunch of plucky shipmate low-lifes drawn into a mission to get a destined empress to her eventual destination.
Jumping from planet to planet doing jobs for gas money. I kind of regret I didn't do that actually.
What about Serpents Skull?
I'm running SS right now, and making it Star Wars-y is possible, but it would require a lot of work. Although, to be fair, Serpent's Skull requires a lot of work to run anyway...
I think at most you could take the outline of the plot and adapt it - something like "crash on deserted planet, find discovery of lost civilisation, repair distress beacon to get rescued, then follow the clues to this lost planet to recover some ancient tech to swing the balance of the Rebel/Empire war (or the Old Republic equivalent)."
Everything else would probably need to change, though: the factions would need to be made Star Wars rather than Golarion specific, book 2 wouldn't work at all, exploration of the lost city would need a complete overhaul to allow for space ships and tech, the denizens of the city would need to change, etc.
It would be a fun exercise, but if you were hoping to just lift an existing AP and reskin it, I'd look elsewhere.
Skull and Shackles would seem like an easier fit for smugglers/Hutts against Imperials.
Hope its not too presumptuous, but a better question might be "how do I Star Wars a certain adventure path." I think most of them could work. Depends on what sort of campaign you are going for. Reign of Winter and Mummy's Mask might be the biggest stretches.
Also, have you looked at the Star Finder APs? They might require less conversion work then a Pathfinder one.
Against the Aeon Throne might work especially well.
Looks cool but really I’m just trying to use up APs that I already own. I was all on for a while and have quite a stack.Also, have you looked at the Star Finder APs? They might require less conversion work then a Pathfinder one.

Ah. You are kind of stuck. How important is space combat to you?
Otherwise, I might go with what Shadram suggests.
Now, when you say "Old Republic" do your players mean the BioWare game or the Prequel trilogy?
