The ''Star Wars Roleplaying Game'' is a tabletop role-playing game set in the ''Star Wars'' universe, written and published for the first time by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) as of August 2012. It is constituted by three different standalone games, each one conceived to play a particular type of character: * ''Star Wars: Edge of the Empire'' (for playing smugglers, bounty hunters, pirates etc.) * ''Star Wars: Age of Rebellion'' (for playing rebel soldiers and freedom fighters against the evil Galactic Empire) * ''Star Wars: Force and Destiny'' (for playing the last Jedi Knights under the Empire's rule) == History of the game == In the 2000s, Wizards of the Coast owned the license for all ''Star Wars'' Fantasy Flight initially drew criticism for releasing a beta version, making people pay twice, and for the extra expense of the unusual custom dice. But reviews after launch were enthusiastic about the dice, with Game Informer saying "''In practice, this system offers tremendous flexibility to allow the players to participate in the storytelling process, rather than just waiting for the GM to respond after a die roll. The players talk together about how to interpret a roll of the dice, and shape the results to make the most exciting story. It also speaks strongly to the cinematic nature of the Star Wars universe; characters in the movies often succeed or fail along with potent side effects."''〔(Top of the Table: ''Star Wars Edge of the Empire'' review ) - Game Informer, July 2013〕 and Penny Arcade saying "''This dice system is designed to facilitate awesome story telling and it worked great!''"〔(''Star Wars Edge of the Empire'' review ) - Penny Arcade, December 2012〕 Releases' timeline (at least in the United States.
