Solid thoughts.

On the Commoner question, the easy answer is to just import the Commoner and Noble classes from 3.X.

For Fighters, I've heard good thing about the weapon skills(?) from Book of the Nine Swords, a late 3.5 product that supposedly prefigured the 4e Powers. Alternatively, you could import some Talent trees from d20M/Star Wars Saga.
