Star Wars Game Master Screen Review  
I've been playing Star Wars RPG games since 1990's I have 4 different Game Master screens in my collection. The art on this one is excellently done. The narrow, but long layout is a bit different from what I am used to. It folds out into a four panel cover, though a taller 3 panel one would be fine too. Perhaps the idea was to let GMs still see over the screen too.
I really wish it would have told you what tables were included in this thing. Being a GM for years I bought it just because.
I have modified mine with post-it notes. I expanded the weapon explosion template (even the core rulebook doesn't have an illustration of thermal or frag grenades). I also included a few more charts that I thought would benefit me more than those included in the screen. I just covered up the stuff I don't normally use. But since it's on post-it notes it's easy to look behind. It's on a great quality glossy card stock.
A great screen for Game Masters who don't want the players seeing their game notes or dice, but giving them nice art work to look at. The charts inside are so-so.

Great Screen  
This game screen is great. Nice finish...missing a few tables that would have been nice but overall a very good product.

Hum... nice, but the picture could be better  
I don't understand. Wizards of the Coast had months to do this properly, sure the material of the screen is great, the horizontal format is great too, and all the tables that were chosen. But why didn't they do a decent art for it? The main focal point of the screen is some 10 year old drawing that represents a nobody in terms of Star Wars universe... that's a big mistake, but, the overall result is pretty good, except for that minor thing.

GM Screen for the Star Wars RPG  
The Gamemaster Screen for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game is the ultimate tool for all Gamemaster's telling the adventures to their PCs. With stats for attacks, ranges, actions, force powers, force points, experience points awards, attitude steps, deceptions, DCs, and other great stats to help the GM from constantly having to look through the books to play through the adventures he or she sets for his or her PCs. This is a good buy for GMs that would like to have all the stats he or she needs at a glance and also to keep some or all of their dice rolls a secret to the PCs. A great buy for players of the Star Wars RPG.

Saga Gamescreen  
This installment of the Star Wars GM Screen has great photos and art work but still delivers the information needed to run a game session with minimul book, rule checking.
