Star Wars: Edge of the Empire – Shadows of a Black Sun is a new Free RPG Day Adventure from Fantasy Flight Games. Within the Star Wars community, few things, short of the Disney purchase of Lucas Films and the impending release of Star Wars VII, have had more buzz than the release of the new RPG by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). Back in 2011 when FFG obtained the license after Wizards of the Coast dropped it, I was skeptical. I personally went through a long phase of my life with various versions of the Star Wars role playing game – from d6 to d20 – over several campaigns. However, thanks to the prequels, my Star Wars fandom was severely diminished and I stopped running Star Wars games all together, selling everything I had.
