[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8625944, member: 4348"] I never got into straight D20 Star Wars, but did get Star Wars Saga Edition. Fun little game. I also loved D20's implementation in Knights of the Old Republic (computer game), which had it's own book in Saga Edition. For controversial editions though, the most controversial I've seen has to do with White Wolf's reboot/end game late last century and early this century. Another controversial one is the precursor to the Gensys system FFG uses now. Replacing everything about the game system for Warhammer in their WHFRPG 3e was VERY controversial. Add in that it was almost double what the books were previously, and required special dice and you got those that were fervent believers and those that absolutely despised what they had done. Going full circle, they use a similar idea to that with their Star Wars Edge of Empire RPG books (and ensuing Age of Rebellion, Force and Destiny). There isn't as much pushback against it though, for several reasons. I think that first, there were those that did not enjoy D20 Star Wars and were wanting something, anything, different from it. Secondly, it's more clear that this Star Wars RPG has NO connections to prior Star Wars RPGs (unlike WHFRPG 3e which was explicitly connected to earlier WHFRPG editions). Because it is a different and unconnected RPG, it's okay that it's a more narrative RPG vs. the other ones that came previously. I've played them all. [/QUOTE]
