Great RPG, lots of fun

I am a veteren D&D player and friend recently introduced me to SWRPG.Overall SWRPG is a very good game but is slightly similer to 3rd edition D&D with blasters instead of swords and the force instead of magic.However there are many deeper changes that really make it feel like Star Wars and both RPG veterans and new players will have a lot of fun with it.
The game has a lot of pros and a few cons

+ The main book contains a lot of info and you dont need to buy any others, however for someone looking to expand their game there are many upgrade books sold.
+ The combat system is very solid and is easy for new people to understand while not being too simple either.
+ Charecter creation isn't that difficult as it can be in some games
+ If you have a good GM (Game Master) the game really comes alive)

- The space combat system is very clunky.
- The selection of ships and vehicles are limited to those that were well detailed in the movies.
(both of these can be fixed however with 2 books "Starships of the Galaxy" provides not only a space combat system and more ships but a ship creation system and "Arms and Equipment" gives many new vehicles along with nice new weapons and armor. I highly recomend both.)

Star Wars RPG is a very good hobby and seeing as you need this book to play I highly recomend you buy it:)

PS. You might want to make sure there are people who interested in playing SWRPG in your neighborhood as this game requires multiple players and your cat will have a bit of a hard time with it.

Clarification

Just to clarify my review. I reviewed the OTHER D20 Star Wars RPG Core Rule book Amazon has for sale (which is listed at around $55 Canadian and is the first version of the rules). Which is why I put up my review to warn people to not buy the older version of the rules for a price which is more than the price Amazon is selling the second edition of the rules for (which at the time of this review is set at $39.17 Canadian). But for some reason my review is showing up for both books.

Just in case THIS review shows up for both versions of the books as well I should clarify things. If the book cover is the snazzy one where the half of the young version of Anakin Skywalker's face is on the front cover and the other half of the face is on the back with Darth Vader's face then that's the first edition of the rules.If the book has the less snazzy picture of teenaged Anakin and Portman and a few other shots from Attack of the Clones (first edition came out before Attack of the Clones so contained no pictures from that movie) then that's the second edition of the rules.

Sorry if I have confused anyone with my previous review. I was expecting my review of a book to stay on tht specific book and not be attached to another book as well or at least if it did then have it noted that it was a review for a different version.

Warning This is An Old Version

Just a warning to anyone who is looking at buying this supplement. This is the first version of the D20 Star Wars game. There has been a revised 2nd version of this rules system (which appears to be sellingfor much less than this version to boot).So I strongly suggest that you look for the Revised version of the rules instead.
