Editing Star Wars RPG (section)

==The Second Trilogy: Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars D20 System==

West End Games (RIP) lost the Star Wars license to [[Wizards of the Coast]], who then made [[Star Wars D20]].  As its name implies, it used the [[D20 Modern]] system as its basic engine, so gamers that enjoy AD&D 3rd edition should feel relatively at home with it, depending on edition. You see, Star Wars D20 had three editions, the first two being the initial release and a follow-up revision that did a lot of house-keeping on the rules and the like. The third, called Saga Edition, differed so greatly it might as well been a different game, with the only parts that looked like the previous two WotC games being inherited from the [[d20 System]] in general, or the WEG rules for a lot of the equipment. Somewhat like how the original Hummer H1 and H2 were civilianized version of the HMMVV (mostly), but the H3 was spare parts thrown together from GM's cast-offs bin.

Saga Edition is sorta like 4th Edition of D&D, and is actually based on the much earlier "Orcus" prototype that was also the source of [[Book of Nine Swords|Tome of Battle]]. The original and Revised Edition plays like D&D 3.0 since it is still spawned from [[D20 Modern]] and skipped a lot of the 3.0 to 3.5 changes.
