Since we get posts on here from time to time about how the Star Wars Saga Roleplaying game is going the way of the dodo, I would like to provide a linkable thread that demonstrates that the game is very much alive.

Books already in print since summer 2007:
Saga Edition Core Rulebook (Now in its second printing of a Second Edition)
Starships of the Galaxy (OoP and sold out in all online sources; Still available in hobby shops)
Threats of the Galaxy
Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) Campaign Guide
The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide
Scum and Villainy
The Clone Wars Campaign Guide
Legacy Campaign Guide
Jedi Academy Training Manual

Books currently in production:
Rebellion Era Campaign Guide
Galaxy at War Campaign Guide
Scavenger's Guide to Droids
Galaxy of Intrigue

Books rumored or expected to be among the products planned:
New Republic/New Jedi Order Campaign Guide

From what I've seen, everyone seems very satisfied with the rate at which Saga books are coming out.

Here's the list of SW RCR books released over a 4 year period (20):

[Original] Core Rulebook
Living Force Campaign Guide
Secrets of Naboo
Secrets of Tatooine
The Dark Side Sourcebook
Rebellion Era Sourcebook
Alien Anthology
Starships of the Galaxy
New Jedi Order Sourcebook
Tempest Feud
RCR
Power of the Jedi Sourcebook
Arms and Equipment Guide
Coruscant and the Core Worlds
Ultimate Alien Anthology
Hero's Guide
Galactic Campaign Guide
Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds
Ultimate Adversaries

I would say Saga is at about the same release schedule and there's no signs of slowing down.

Dark Horse Comics also has a line of SW stories they're publishing at monthly intervals, as well as a quarterly title and numerous one shot annuals each year.
I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

I was wondering at first "what do comics have to do with the roleplaying game?", but then I realized that I never actually put "RPG" in the title.

Some friends up at out local game room say that 4th Edition SW is the bomb. It "fixed" some stuff in Saga.

I'd like to play but all the tables are filled. Very popular game 'round these parts.

The Second Edition Saga book "fixed" Saga. It wasn't broken. It was just the early iteration of a new format. Every new system has bugs. "4th Edition Saga" is just a homebrew version of Star Wars using a mix of Saga and 4th Edition rules.

Though I don't think Saga was in need of "fixing", I do think it could benefit from some 4e mechanics, so I would like a link to the Saga 4e rules if you have one, please.
