[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 5071262, member: 20741"] [I][B]How bloody ironic.[/B][/I] I actually,[B] just this week[/B] began working on my brand new Star Wars: Saga Edition campaign. I actually bought a few SW:SE books two days ago -- for the first time. Now, I find out that the game system I am about to invest in is going the way of the dodo. But is it that big a deal? Not really. The Saga books are well done and aren't going away anytime soon. WotC never backed up SW:SE with adventures (exception: DoD, released online). The loss of new miniatures, however, is a bummer. I am now going to have to buy up what's out there at a faster rate than I imagined was required. There is more than enough rules and fluff in the books released to date to support my campaign. And kudos to the D20 radio crowd and Order 66. They've provided better hype and support than WotC has, to be honest. Quality podcast too. Highly recommended. As for the future: there will be a new license at some point. If I was Lucasarts, I'd wait until after the MMO is out and build up a following - and then play off of that. That is, assuming of course, that the live action TV series doesn't change all of that interest in Star Wars FAST. Lucasarts supposedly has the live action Star Wars TV series coming out sometime in the next two years. Problem is, this has been delayed already. They announced a long time that the TV series is to be set during the Dark Times and early Rebellion era. No [I]KotoR/Tales of the Jedi[/I] for George Lucas. But that isn't necessarily so. It may prove to be what the series does - and then again, it may not. Hell, the TV series [B]may not happen at all[/B]. We simply don't know until it's actually out there. Lucas has been talking about this tv series for so long, I'm beginning to doubt it will happen in the manner he has been saying it will, [B]or at all[/B]. Let's face it - if he was DAMNED serious about it - it would have happened by now. Anyways, I hope this causes a bunch of books that I need to become available used -- for cheap :) I also would like to see a Star Wars RPG game licensed, eventually, by a company that will make it their #1 game and their #1 priority. Let's face it - WotC has never treated Star Wars in that fashion -- and never would have. Above all - the new game needs published adventures. I dont really understand why they were not created and sold for Star Wars, other than the fact the damn game didn't seem to sell that well at all. It's not as if there was something ELSE for GMs to use or re-purpose. Apart from the one adventure WotC did create (and some older D6 based adventures from West End), there simple was not much print material out there to use. At all. [/QUOTE]
