Tell me about Star Wars: Edge of the Empire

Ironically, several of the devs had ties to the WEG edition....

I did not know that! Interesting.

I saw some discussion about trying to find the dice.

Amazon still sells the dice sets. They're currently $18 per set.

If you are someone who prefers to not use Amazon, Noble Knight Games also sells them.

There's also a free roller app.

The roller app for Star Wars isn't free - it's still $5.
Also note that the Genesys dice roller has the same odds and is free.

The Genesys app doesn't have Force dice though. But unless you're playing Force users, the group can probably get by with a single one of those to generate force points at the start of a session.

Or a d12 and the conversion table from the rulebook.

The Star Wars RPG community site has a whole bunch of useful resources, including links to various dice rollers and other apps (although nothing beats the tactile sensation and clicky-clack of real dice).

There's also a small fan-led effort to redo the career specialization to better adapt them to later sensibilities in the system, as some of the earlier stuff is less interesting than what comes later (as tends to happen over the lifetime of a system).

Here's a link to the project, if anyone is interested.

Plus blowing on your phone for luck, as opossed to dice, is just weird.

Everyone knows that only works on SNES cartridges.

In theory, I think this is great. Clean up the talent trees and all that.

They did mess up the Ambassador one though since they want it to be closer to what Leia odes — who despite being called ambassador in the first movie, is very much more in the Commander career rather than a Diplomat. Which is even pointed out in the books.
