[had devoured classic Science fetion novels growing up, and was a fan of move serials when they entertained me afterschool on my folks’ small-screen TV. ‘But Star Wars! That's always been something else, Asa business journal~ Ist in Los Angeles, I had picked up some early rumblings about the film. “There were a few mentions in the Wollywood trades and in a new science fiction magazine named Starlog. What really did it for me— ‘and what became the fist in a barn full of treasured Star Wars memora- bilis-was a brochure sent to ‘exhibitors to entice them to rent the film for ther theaters. Wout! If the movie was anything like the huge eolor photos inthis oversized 28-page booklet, accompa- nied by a description of the film and its main character, I couldn't wait to see it. Then, three weeks before the general opening on May 25, 1977, 1 attended a press sreening on the backlot at Twentieth Century Fox. From the moment the Star Destryer passed overhead and kept going and doing, had 3 new passion in life What hooked me personally was other scene without words. Luke ‘Skywalker gets up from his aunt and uncle's dinner table in frustration, desperately wanting to leave this ‘dusty, barten planet—and the road- block to his future that it represents. He walks up a smal hill and cass his eyes toward the horizon to wateh the ‘win suns of Tatooine set as some of John Wiliams's most plaintive music Swells in the background. 1 could taste Luke's yearning, his need to leave home and establish himself as his own person. 1 so related to that. For Luke, the hero's journey was about to begin, 11 was already on my journey ... and at that point, | didn't know how either vas going to end. ‘The hero's journey? It was th ‘much more, as George Lucas deliber- ately set out to create a new mythos using many of the tenets of classic the-pan movies nd rythology—tenets that date back to before recorded history. There were few heroes in the late 70s, after ‘Vietnam and Watergate. Movies had gotten datk, the lines between good and evil blurred. Then along came 2 film that, subtly, tied into mythotogt- cal archetypes and spread through worldwide culture, That, and it had really co! special effects! The fact that George Lucas’ epic space fantasy is stil going strong after 25 years says something about the filmmaker, the films, and the audience. ‘The saga fs so ingrained in the world- wide popular culture that writers and artists feel secure using dialogue as punch lines without further explana~ tion. Star Wars helps give many of us a shared identity and a sense of ‘community. I's the dialogue, the characters their relationships, the visual effects, the musieYes, its all Saturday matinee, but it's the best Saturday matinee imaginable, ‘Star Wars has captured the hearts nd imaginations of millions of people ‘worldwide in large part because the saga celebrates heroism and the imi less potential ofthe individual. It engages us. It excites us. I inspires ts ‘And most ofall, it's fun. It's fun to ‘watch, fun to collect the merchandise, fun to read the books and comics, an fun to play the games, tke the incred= ibly inventive one you hold in your hands. For an entre generation, Star Wars has been a defining cinematic ‘moment, inspiring countless young, men and women into pursuing ‘reatve careers ofall types. The popularity of Star Wars is growing. The original Star Wars ‘generation=those of us who grew up with these films on the brain-seems te have passed on a Star Wars gene to subsequent generations. (The advent of movies an videocassette ‘didn't hurt much ether) 1t cant just be nostalgia that draws people to the saga. Afterall these years Star Warsi still cool. Whether Its Han Solo with his Elvis grin, Darh Vader's sharp but ominous black uth, the craftily worn look of the ‘spaceships, the eye-popping battles, of the lightsaber swordplay, Star Wars still feels hip. There's a timeless ‘element about the look of the films and the emotions they provoke that ‘other fils just don't seem to have. you've been a part of Star Wars fandom fora while, oF returned to it with the Special Editions or the start (of the Preque! films, then you know what a wonderful voyage it has been.

For me, {hs he coming full ice I say this because, in general terms, I've always huge Star Wars fan-1 saw the ‘move 38 times during the summer of 197, including the very frst showing, In specific terms, most of my career hasbeen tied to the Star Wars fran cise tall started a long time ago, In ait far, far away (From where Tm wing this). began my carer in the hobby game industry in 1986 at a company called West End Games. At the time, the company was mostly known forts nity simulation games, and was {ost starting to dabble in roleplaying {games Near the end of 1987, as part ofthe tenth anmiversaty of the release of he original Star Wars movie, West End Games published Star Wars: The Replaying Game. 1 was a member of the design team, serving as an editor and developer for the RPG. Right after that, L was drafted to codesign the ar Wars Sourcebook, and then | was promoted to Star Wars Line Director.

For a number of reasons. Let me explain, The ist reason for a revision relates, tothe release of Episode Ml: Attack of the Clones. The new movie provides & whale lot of impetus for releasing a new edition. Not only does the Aim feature some new characters, situa~ tions, aliens, gear, planets, and other ‘material never seen before that's just ‘egiing to be incuded in our core rulebook, but the time tight tore Taunch the RPG to’a potentially new and larger audience, Our previous edition hit the shelves in the wake of the huge push forthe ‘new Dunctons & Dracons® game, and while it wasn’t exactly lost in the shuf- A, it didn't receive the attention it deserved, The excitement generated hy the new film gives usa second oppor tunity to launch the RPG with as much fanfare as we and the collective Siar Wars marketing machine can muster Im other words, the time was right, and We were presented with an opportunity wwe just had to take adhantage of The second reason fora revision is ‘your feedback. We've gathered feed: back from 2s many people who bought {and played the previous eliion as we could, Using that data as a base, we retooled the game system from the ground up to incorporate everyone's suggestions. In many ways, our fans demanded this revision, We heard what you had to say, and we responded enthusiastically to improve the game and the product. The third reason—our dedication to continuous product improvement. ‘We've reworked the game to update errata, larity rules, and make the game even betier than it as. A roe- playing game isa living document that ‘evolves ait splayed, The audience has as much influence on the way an RPG develops as the designers who ‘rcated it, and the Star Wars RPG is no exception.

We've improved the Force skill and Feats, We've redesigned the starship and vehicles rules. We've polished up the classes and some of the combat rules.

Typically, the gaine consists of adventures that resemble episodes in the movie saga. One adventure might play out iia single game session; another might stretch across several evenings of pla. A session can last as long as youTe comfortable playing, fom as short as one hour to 2s long, as 2 twelve-hour marathon, Most groups get together and. play for two to four hours at atime. The game ean be Stopped at anytime and restarted when the players get back together. Each adventure consists of Intertelated scenes. A scene ‘might feature some kindof challenge or roleplaying encounter, oF it could revolve around combat. When there's no combat going on, play is much more casual The GM describes the scene and asks the players what ther charac ters do. When combat breaks out, game play becomes more structured and the action take place in rounds, What Characters Can Do ‘Acharacter can try to do anything you can imagine, jst so Jong asi fits the scene the GM describes. Depending on the situation, your character might want to: Usten at a door Use computer terminal Explore a location Converse with an alien Bargain with a merchant Inimidate a thug Talk to an ally Pilot a vehicle Search for a due Bluff an oficial Repair an item Swing across a turboift shaft Move Duck behind a bulkhead ‘Attack an opponent 290000000000000 Characters accomplish things by making skill check, ability ‘heck, or attack rolls. While the rues for making these rll follow the core mechanic, each type of rolls used for a slightly different purpose. Skill Checks To make a sil check, roll a 20 and add your character's Skill modifier for that particular ski. Compare the result to the Difficulty Class (DC) for the task at hand. The DC may tae determined by the ski's description, set by the GM, or «stablished by another character's check result, Unopposed Checks: An unopposed sil cheek’s success depends only on your character's action. For example, climbing 4 chain to get out of a repulsorit repair pit depends only an your character's sill and luck, so the Climb check i compared to a target number provided by the skis description or set by the Game= ‘master. IF your result is equal to or higher than the DC, the attempt succeeds. Opposed Checks: An opposed check occurs when ‘another character actively attempts {o prevent your charae- ter fom succeeding at a given task The DC for an opposed check isthe check result ofthe character opposing your action. The opponent’ check ‘might be made using the same skill you are using or a ferent ski, a defined in the description ofthe sil you are using. The character with the higher result succeeds at the action being performed, while the character with the lower result fails. In the case of ate, rll the checks again ‘until one character achieves a higher result than the othe, For example, if your character tres to hide from an ‘opponent, aur Hide check is opposed by the opponent's Spot check. If your result higher, your character suceess- fully hides, and your opponent falls to spot him. 1 your result is lower, Your opponent spots you, and your attempt te hide fails. Abiliky checks are used when a character doesnt have any ranks in a particular skill and tres to use that skill untrained. Note that some skils can't be used untrained For example, f your character wants to bluff a couple of Imperial officers but doesnt have any ranks in the Bluff stil, the GM calls for a Charisma check (Charisma isthe ability associated with the Blu ski) Ability checks ate ako used to determine success when no skill applies. Tiying to mave a heavy cargo container, for ‘example, requites a Strength check To make an ability check, roll @ d20 and add your charac- ters modifier for the appropriate ability. IF the result fs equal tor greater than the DC of the task, the check succeeds. Attack Rolls To attack an opponent, roll a 20 and add your characters attack bonus. Ifthe result equals or exceeds the opponents Defense, the attack succeeds. (On a successful attack, you roll to determine how much damage your attack deals to the opponent. Roll the type of dice indicated for the weapon used and add any modifiers that apply Far example, if your character uses a blaster, @ sucessful attack deals 3d6 points of damage to the opponent. If your charaeter uses a lightsaber, a successful attack deals 248 points of damage plus your Strength bonus. Damage reduces vitality points fis. When all ofa charac ters vitality points are gone, any additional damage reduces wound points ‘cities hit (a potent result on an attack) bypasses any vitality points a character might possess and strikes Airetly at that character's wound points. An attack may cause a critical Hit if the attack rolls a natural 20 (or, for certain weapons, a 19 or a 20), That result represents the ‘threat of a critical hit. Then the attacker makes a second attack roll to confirm the critical hit. If this second attack roll succeeds, then the critical hit fs confirmed and damage' applied to the target’s wound points, See Chapters Seven and Bight for more details. Impartant! There are two types of attacks in the game. A ranged attack uses a weapon that attacks opponents at 2 ‘tance, such as a blaster ot a howcastet.

Your starocter may have a different attack bonus for each type of atack, The Combat Round Most ofthe time, game play is relaxed and casual, The GM. sets the scene, and players take turns describing what their Characters are doing. When the situation call ori, the GM ‘asthe players make die rols (skill checks o ability check} to determine the results of their characters" actions. But when a scene involves combat or the imminent threat of combat, a structured sequence of combat round is used to gover play. Ina combat round, cach character gets to do something. Around represents 6 Second in the game work, regardless oF how long it takes the players to compte the round. At the start of a battle, each player makes an initiative ‘heck for his or her character, and the Gamemaster makes. itttive checks for the opponents. The character with the tighest result acts first, followed by the other characters in oer (fom highest reslt to lowest result). This order of ply fs used in every round until the battle ends, When your ‘um in the order comes up, you perform all the actions you ae ented to inthe current round. ‘There are four types of actions: attack ations, move ‘actions, Fll-round actions, and free actions.

Equivalent actions inciude Sing, dein or loading weapon, opening 2 doo, and ting up an em. You can move and attack in ihe oder, jn round, Or you can perform two move actions in 2 round, ‘using a second move action in place of an attack action, Full-Round Actions ‘Afull-round action consumes all of your effort in a tound, Attacking more than once ff you are of sufficient level to do so) oF using a skill o feat that requires a full round to accomplish f considered a fullsound action Free Actions Free actions consume almost no time or effort.

He's exchanging words with the bartender, e's tal, but perhaps a bit thin when compared to other ookices you may have seen. He's got a boweaster slung ‘aos his back, and he's nursing a huge mug of some Foamy liquid. Panny (Var‘en): My character sits n a corner booth, hs ‘ack tothe wall as he nonchalantly studies the erowd. He's ot dark eyes and an intense gaze, and he looks strong and capable. He's wearing bits and pieces of light body armor. IF hehas any weapons—and you're sure he docs—they'te either hidden under the rable or in the booth’s darker shadows. rian (Das): You also see a young male Tw'ek-you know, the guys with the head-tals, ike Bib Fortunasiting atone ofthe tables in the middle of the room.

The ‘ertender yells “Hey, no blasters im here!” He ducks behind the bat. jst time, as one of the thugs casually fires a ‘aster bot in his direction There are four thugs—two Humans, Rodian, and a Gamortean. The Gamorean wields avbyoblade, and the other three ate armed with blaster isis The Gamorrean grunts something foul and gestures ‘owatd the table where the senator i siting "Fo the Separatists!" shouts one of the humans with a ‘seer as he prepares to target Senator Treen.

Sig-Lan, what are you going to do? {Bheis (Sia-Lan):I leap out of the booth and postion myself between the senator and the thugs as my first move action.

Michele (BM): The thugs act next. The two humans each take a shot atthe Jee who's standing between them and the senator. The Roulan thug takes a shot at Deel, and the Gamorrean rushes forward to slic atthe Jed with his vibroblade. {Chris (Sia-Lan):I'm going to use deflect (defense) to protect myself from the blaster shots. Michale (GM): Sure. That costs you a move action in the next round, but it increases your Defense by + Michele makes the attack ros for the vo thugs. The first one gets an 11. The second one gets 17.

Michele rolls 346 damage for the successful blaster pistol attack. The total is 11. Sia-Lan has 12 visality ‘points, so the attack reduces her vitality points to 1. The rest ofthe round continues, with Michele finishing up the thug’s actions, then Vor'en, Rorworr, and the sena- tor acing in turn, Each round plays out in this order until ‘one side or the ther is defeated or fles.
