This is definitely not as good as some of their recent titles. They do have a pretty good new system for determining prices of droids, so you can create one of any class, any level etc, and they have a good way of pricing it. Other than that, its just not a very interesting book. I'd skip this and go with one of their others.

4.0 out of 5 stars These ARE the Droids your looking for..., February 19, 2010

Just wanted to be the first one to say that here :-).

On a serious note, this is a great lil addition to the Star Wars Saga Edition line. I found the droid creation and customization rules a great help in my homebrew Star Frontiers Saga Edition, and Gamma World Saga Edition games.

If your at all interested in Droids as Characters, or want to add more customization and flexibility to your existing droids in your campaign, then this book is well worth the purchase price.

For a long time I have been waiting for this, a product that finally lets you create and modify your droid character better...or outfit your droid if you are a droid owner. It also lets you GM's let your players handle their own droid NPC in a way that is less effective than having then handle the droid as if it were a second PC by requiring the PC spend actions to command the droid... All in all, a very useful product.
