the Adaptable Talent feat from GoI is pretty nice. at first I thought it was prone to abuse, but now I see it's not.
I find it very useful for item creation talents; it makes perfect sense to swap your Dark Scourge for the Sith Alchemy of this feat as you expect to be working in a lab and not fighting Jedi for the day.
I think it plays well with the Wealth talent as well; though I wouldn't allow a player to choose Wealth as the talent for this feat since I would argue that to gain its credit benefit, you need to have the talent at the moment you gain a level, and this is an etheric moment outside gameplay (so no time to rest 6 hours), however, it's nice to have a utility talent filling the position of your Wealth talent during adventures.

however, my inquieries go much farther than this.

and here's why: I'm inclined to believe, by the wording of the rules, that you cannot choose a Force talent for the talent of this feat (not unless you have levels in any the Force disciple, Jedi Master, or Sith Lord prestige classess, see below).

that's because Adaptable talent says you ''choose one talent that you meet the prerequisites for, from a class you possess.''
while the Force Sensitivity feat says ''whenever you gain a new talent, you have the option of selecting a Force talent instead.''
chapter VI: the Force on the SECR says ''any time a character with the Force Sensitivity feat would normally gain a talent (such as from gaining an odd-numbered level in a heroic class), he or she may instead select a Force talent (...)''.
so, Adaptable Talent does not make you gain a talent, instead it's a feat, and you pick its talent just as you pick a weapon group for Weapon Focus. the parenthesis Force Talents in the SECR seems to imply you could gain talents in other ways but it doesn't really make a point for rules discussion. however, if you had a level in any of the aforementioned prestige classes (the third-tier Force classes) you could reasonably be able to select any Force talent as the class description specifies that the talents you get to choose from within that class include ''any Force talent tree (...)''.

on the flip side, if one could argue that you most definitely 'gain' the talent you chose from this feat at the moment you have swapped it with one of your current ones, and therefore be eligible to 'instead select a Force talent' at the time you 'would normally gain a talent', then you could reasonably be able to select just any talent and then choose any Force talent which you meet the prerequisites to use instead of the talent you selected for the feat... as Viceroy Gunray would put it: That is an Outrage!!
and on a sidenote, even though Force Sensitivity gives you Use the Force as a class skill and access to Force talent, that doesn't mean Force talents are class talents (you'll never see a Force talent that works with 'your class level').
another sidenote is that the Stolen Form talent says that you gain the benefit of the talent and are considered to have it in regards to prerequisites, but it's clear in its distintion that you do not 'gain' the talent

So finally, please regard any input and tell me wether you think otherwise or if you support my claim, or if you don't use this feat in your games at all. all your input is greatly appreciated!!!

StevenO has pretty much summed up my opinion as well.

I’d say anything that has a persistent effect across encounters is questionable for adaptable talent.  Like attract minion.  I don’t think that attract minion, wealth, and the like are completely out of the questions, but I’d want both a good explanation from the player and dramatic circumstances that call for the talent.  And I would certainly not the character adapting to and from attract minion every session.  One option for wealth in particular might be to have the character stick with the wealth talent and be unable to adapt it for a period of time, like until the character levels again or something.

I'd probably forbid this feat's use (either as a selection or for the replacement) for just about everything that you can "use once per level or even less and then forget about," unless you're going to give up the benefits you gained with the talent.  This would mean that Wealth is actually fine IF you (and the party) lose the benefits/equipment that you gained with those credits.  In a similiar fashion any of the Imbue X type talents that let you power something which only you can use would need to lose those properties if you "lose" the talent that granted them.  Attract Minion may not be so bad because when you have the talent you can "have" the minion but if you don't have the talent active then the minion is no where to be found and NOT doing anything of value on your behalf.
