FFG: Star Wars RPG 30th Anniversary Edition
Get ready for a Nostagia Bomb – it’s the return of the classic Star Wars Roleplaying Game: 30th Anniversary Edition!
First published in 1987 by West End Games, the Star Wars RPG was a game changer for fans. Not only could you enjoy the rich tapestry of Star Wars, now you could run your OWN adventures. 30 years later, Fantasy Flight Games is bringing the classic back in a new Hardcover set!
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of the Star Wars™: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition!
The Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition faithfully recreates Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game and The Star Wars Sourcebook as high-quality, hardbound tomes that feature all the original game rules, information, and graphic design. These are printed on higher quality paper than the original versions and shrinkwrapped together in a stylized slipcase that features the original cover art on a clean black background.
Every bit as playable now as it was in 1987, Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game offers fast d6-based action along with unique takes on the ideas of roleplaying, designing adventures, running adventures, and the nature of the Force. The rulebook also introduces a full-length adventure, “Rebel Breakout,” and The Star Wars Sourcebook provides you with a wealth of information that you could use to populate additional adventures, including detailed descriptions of starfighters, capital ships, droids, aliens, blasters, lightsabers, and combat vehicles like the AT-AT and AT-ST.

That’s right folks – this is a basically a reprint of the classic system, but now in a much fancier format. These books weren’t just important for the RPG players, they also helped to keep the canon of Star Wars alive. The source book helped to codify the aliens races like the Twi’lek, Rodian, and the Quarren. Also Timothy Zahn, a major contributor to the Star Wars Universe and writer of the Thrawn Trilogy, used this same source material for reference. But the influence of this game doesn’t stop there – Pablo Hidalgo has cited this book as inspiration for the writers’ bible that was developed for the Lucasfilm Story Group! And the list goes on…
The Star Wars RPG and Source book were a major part of what kept Star Wars going and improving in a time when it didn’t look like we would be getting any more movies. It kept the fans of RPGs playing in the Star Wars universe and inspired countless stories in a galaxy far, far away. Now, FFG is bringing it back and I really want to get my hands on a copy!
