I'd expect most of the equipment to remain the same, with some changes in terms of starfighters and star ships. Example: Y-Wings and Z-95 headhunters are present in EoTE, but X-Wings, A-Wings and B-Wings are not. Likely because the characters are far more likely to encounter these ships in EoTE games, whereas X-Wings are far newer and rarer than the venerable spacecraft here. If I am to guess, future books will be approximately 30 pages will be repeats of the base rules, likely 50 pages of gear will be very similar, about 27 pages for handling combat/conflict. Some of the starship rules will be repeated of course, but the selection of craft will be different. My best guess is that out of the 440+ pages the next two books will have, about 100-120 pages will be effectively reprints... so you can likely count on 320-340 pages of new material with each book.I remember buying the original 1st edition Greg Costikyan game from WEG, and while Jedi were do-able, they were really more like the Force Sensitives already present in the new game. Additionally, characters couldn't progress without having a master, which in the Empire period was nearly impossible. At least in the new game, Force-sensitive characters can spend their XP on advancing their force powers. I'd have to check, there's an off chance I may actually still have that original book buried someplace (and now I am dating myself)...To the credit of the original WEG Star Wars, we wouldn't have the Expanded Universe without it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I was impressed to see that the new game has largely been built on that material in terms of background and content. Wookiepedia will be your friend with this game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
