[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 8084066, member: 6716779"] As a long time Star Wars player here's why. 1. Shifting rules. There's no continuity between the systems. I didn't bother with the new system because if the gimmick dice. Eventually the system is going to go out of print and no more gimmick dice. 2. Disney killing off legends. Well guess what the RPG is also legends. All my RPG stuff is legends material, see point 1. 3. Collapse of the Star Wars ecology. Obviously it still exists but not like the 90s. Not much in the way of new games, books, comics. There's some if course but yeah. 4. Fan support. Fan support is heavily leaning towards Legends to the extent there's entire fan produced RPG books and mods for games that are essentially full games. This crosses over onto YouTube. Fans if the RPGs seem to have settled on the new one or old D6. WotC stuff is kinda dead because it was terrible quality and SWSE is expensive and hard to get. SWSE is also to hard to tweak without a total rewrite vs cleaning up D6. I used a fan produced D6 variant for some one off games and my 5E players liked it. [/QUOTE]
