With Fantasy Flight Games transferring control of the Star Wars RPG lines to Edge Studio, we find ourselves in some all-too-familiar territory. Back in 1999, with the premiere of The Phantom Menace, West End Games lost the RPG rights, leading to a hiatus at a time when there was plenty of new content being created. Similarly, the d20-based RPG from Wizards of the Coast ran steadily for ten years, but came to an end when the Saga Edition line was finished in 2010. At that time, the Clone Wars movie had been released to theaters, and the animated series based on it was exploring that time period. Fantasy Flight Games would bring out its own RPG in 2012-13, but after eight years of it, we once again do not have a game in print--in spite of the fact that the live-action TV series are about to explode with new content.
All of this has me looking at my Star Wars shelves, thinking about adventures and campaigns, and wondering just which rules I want to use. For that reason I've been digging into resources for the old d6 System, and decided to share a list here for anyone who might be interested. I will continue to update this list as I find new things.
