FFG reprints West End Star Wars RPG

Nostalgia, yes. But this is great and they're just doing the one release, nothing else. Love WEG version of star wars, even though it's not modern at all. I remember it capturing star wars feel quite nice years ago... I tracked down a good condition revised and expanded edition a few years ago so I PROBABLY won't buy this....

This is a REALLY cool release. That RPG was actually very important- a lot of what SW is today actually comes from it and not Lucas/Lucasfilm. WEG filled in A LOT of blanks. Like alien race names. Before this, Greedo was just a hapless, murdered alien. WEG called him a Rodian.

Lucasfilm actually started using the RPG as a reference in developing the EU and a lot that stuff is now canon, even after the EUpocalypse.

I'll be reviewing it at MM...I think that the game is really good but it's been 25 years since I played it...I don't think the game really matters, this is more of a historical release.

Now if they'd just partner up with WEG to reprint Assault on Hoth...

I'm not sure which edition of this it is. Probably the original 1987 edition. Definitely a cool release.

I found a second edition core book and the Star Wars sourcebook at a Half Price Books for like 10 bucks. Still haven't played, but I've loved perusing both books.

I have zero desire to own or play this but I am *SO* happy that it exists.

I paid for ReUp SWRPG through Lulu a while back and it's a really good read. Hoping FFG bringing WEG SW back into the spotlight generates enough interest that I'll get to play the game instead of read it.

I might buy this anyway; I want for it to sell well enough that FFG makes new D6 SWRPG material a thing.

Same here, ReUp is amazing.

I'm always glad old games are brought back on a new, slighty revised release. Were it on me all games would be. All of them.
