Which edition?

[Volar the Healer]

When WotC's game came out, we tried it with a small thrill of excitement. The art was pretty good. Whoever wrote the Naboo mini-campaign did an excellent job! But it wasn't enough to overcome the shortcomings of the d20 system. By the end of the campaign the first two things I heard was: Is that all? My character can't develop except in these narrow confines? -and- Could we play it again? This time with WEG rules?

Even in the first rule book they knew their system was too limited. There was a comment about that in the book! "Don't think of character classes as limiting the players..." But that's exactly what it did.

Am I the only one that noticed the ciminal classes get more skill points/skills/feats than the noble classes? In WotC's game the dark side IS stronger.

yeah, i agree, when it comes to fluid gameplay WEG kicks WoTC. In fact, i like every aspect of WEG more than Wizards crap

[Son of Fire]

WEG = cinematic
WOTC = problematic

I’m so clever I made it rhyme.

WEG's rules were always made well enough to allow more experienced characters to do stuff out of the movies, and yet was flexible enough to allow in-experienced characters to have moments of amazing feats.

Yeah, I'll admit I've got a few WoTC books in my collection, but only for reference.

I did a lot of gaming with the 2nd Edition WEG rules but after buying the "3rd" edition rules in late 96 I haven't looked back.

[Crell Damar]

yeah, revised and expanded is leet

Second Edition, Revised and Expanded. It's really the edition that truely introduced me to SW RPG so I kinda have to go with it. Looking at it compared to WotC's stuff (god converting their stuff can sometimes give me a headache, but it's worth it to have it in a more proper SW RPG format), I just don't think I could have gotten into SW RPGing at all had I been introduced to it through them.

Satr Wars 1st edition. That's me all the way. With a few mods from 2nd, like wild die and Die capping for different scales. Other than that, I just feel first is more open and unlimitted in use, especially where the force is concerned. I also liked the way damage was figured in first edition better, with 2xStrength to incapacitate, and 3xStrength to mortally wound. And for me, the vehicle speed codes in dice instead of fixed movement made chases seem more dramatic, more cinimatic, and hey, that's what it's all about right? Sure, movement points works fine for miniatures.

Chello!

2R&E all the way!!!!

I like the look and think that it has the best layout of the different editions.

I go with 2nd R&E, for the rules upgrade. But somehow the old 2nd blue book holds a special place in my heart. It was the first RPG book I ever held that had a good mechanic system inside.

I would say 2nd edition, although I still use some things from 1st.

This may be strange to say, but I used to have the 2nd R&E manual from WEG, but lost it a few years ago; however, I really don't miss it. I still have the 1st and 2nd, and those have been more than enough.

Big blue will always be a book that I most connect with, but the rules update in R&E makes it more important.

It's not a choice, but if you use the new D6 core rules as applied to Star Wars, that update seems to be really signifigant too. It changes some fundamentals of the jedi and expands on several other areas. Overall, it looks good. Anyone really into Star Wars D6 should seriously consider picking up a d6 core book, space obviously most useful.

I have played all three editions over the years, but prefer 2nd R&E. Predomintly for the clarifications of some skills, force powers, and the die scale rather than capping...
