I didn't see a separate thread and thought I had got the scoop which I posted in industry.

Apparently, they will have a basic book and supplements will focus on individual events (e..g, Civil War) that can sit next to the graphic novel.

I will pick up the Beginner Box from Paizo, but yeesh..sounds like a really boring (for my tastes/needs) new product schedule from both WOTC & Paizo.

And no mention of a FFG SW RPG? ..just minis and cards is all I have heard about.
