Message: <blockquote data-quote="wingsandsword" data-source="post: 5202684" data-attributes="member: 14159">Not really.  Not Star Wars.Back in the 1990's, before there were prequels, the D6 Star Wars game was pretty dang big and successful just off comics and novels.  The original Star Wars RPG itself was first released in 1989, when the last Star Wars project was the Ewok movies, and there were not even any new comic books or novels coming out, and more Star Wars movies was some distant legend that one day Lucas might come back and do more.  Much of the modern "expanded universe" of Star Wars is based off what was originally written for the RPG.Star Wars is a large enough, iconic enough property that it can sell without being tied to a movie that came out within the last year or two, or even a torrent of other licensed properties.  It has done that before.Anyway, don't forget that between the old D6 RPG and the two prior editions of d20 SWRPG, there are dozens and dozens of books that have been made long before SWSE.  Adventures, catalogs of star systems, lists and lists of starships, sourcebooks detailing myriad worlds and companions to lots of novels.  Yeah, it might require some conversion, but that's not too hard, and are you really playing Star Wars for new crunch, or to run around in the Galaxy Far, Far Away.  Star Wars to me was always a "fluff" first game.  Heck, the non-RPG sourcebooks like the New Essential Chronology or the Essential Atlas are very valuable references for the SW GM, and they are still in print.</blockquote>
