Yes, but my question is this: How do you think the new SW RPG stacks up against the old one by West End? I own both and everyone I've met who owns both had agreed with me: that the d20 system isn't very suited to Star Wars, but might have been better had they taken their time.
I disagree, the D20 system works very well for the Star War universe. I read the core rules for it and was very impressed on what they had done. From what I have seen it is better then the old West End stuff. Of course I never really liked the old WE game, especially the 2nd Edition, too comic book everytime I played it I was constantly reminded of the show "Droids" and that ruined it for me. The new D20 is a more "grittier" system, a more "real" space operaish feeling to it.
To be truthful I have yet to find any of the mistakes everyone seems to hammering on. I think it is a very well put together game, the art work is good (excellant in places) and system seems to flow smoothly. I don't see any problem. In fact I was even more disappointed that Dune had been cancelled after I read SW, the D20 would have been a good system for that game as well.
