Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook, Saga Edition  
The Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook, Saga Edition is the ultimate guide for the entire Star Wars universe. Based on all six movies of the Star Wars saga from The Phantom Menace(Episode I)- Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) and also includes the new movie Episode III-Revenge of the Sith. This book is for both PCs and Gamemasters alike with character creation, equipment, force powers, skills, feats, a gm section, and everything else to help both PCs and Gamemasters get everything they need for a great time with Star Wars. The Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook runs through three different eras in the Star Wars universe: Rise of the Empire (Episodes I-III), The Rebellion (Episodes IV-VI), and The New Jedi Order(Based on the books and comics). The book is good to have everything you need to start your first adventures, sessions, and campaigns in the game and will also help with the sourcebooks coming with the next months. For fans of the RPG and the Star Wars universe this is a definite must buy.

More source needed  
I love the game but.....The rule book is not really laid out well. Character creation is the same as any game using the D20 system but the character creation process doesn't flow. The layout of the book causes one to constantly flip back and forth between sections. I also found fields on the included character sheet, such as Initiative that I can't find described in the book in a way that makes me think it should be on the character sheet. The powers, skills and talents section are pretty descriptive. Where I think the book was lacking was in source material. The available equipment, armor and weapons was a pretty short list and excluded items such as the sword. The choice of races is pretty limited. Some races such as Gammorean have so many limitations a player character would be suicidal to select them. To get around the limited gear, I got out KOTOR and KOTOR II fired up some saved games and went to a few merchants to build up my options. With only 4 types of armor in the core rules, PC's don't have many options. As big as the Star Wars universe is, there isn't much source. I suggest getting involved in an online gaming community. All in all a good buy but don't expect to be wowed.

Really useful little book!  
I bought a copy of this book & gave it to my friends for Christmas. We use it quite frequently when we game & we always have a blast. It's got stats for various races, ships, etc. Quite a thorough little book & I'd really recommend it if you're into playing Star Wars campaigns.

Great game, not just a great Star Wars game  
Star Wars Saga is the best in the series. I wish it were a little longer, providing more options and powers, but WotC has created out a superb product in Saga. Not just the best of Star Wars, but one of the best RPG's I've ever played.

The Jedi are still a little overpowered, but the other classes hold their own more effectively then ever.

The single best Star Wars RPG approach ever  
I think the authors really hit the nail in the head with this. It is the best Star Wars RPG I've ever. Almost every single aspect of the movies was adequately modeled in the rules, which remained, surpringly, simple.
