3.0 out of 5 stars Bottom Line -- It's not bad, September 1, 2007

This review is from: The Star Wars Rebel Alliance Sourcebook (Paperback)

I bought this book a few months ago, figuring it would make a perfect addition to my old-school WEG Star Wars RPG collection (1st edition of course, the ONLY edition worth buying, in my opinion).

Anyway, the book was, sadly, slightly disappointing. It mostly deals with military unit types, like rebel commandos and the like, along with military structure/rankings, equipment (none of which is particularly interesting or creative), and the like.

It definitely doesn't ring with the "magic" of Star Wars the way you might be hoping, but it's not terrible either. I gave it a 3 out of 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite RPG books EVER, June 28, 2011

This review is from: The Star Wars Rebel Alliance Sourcebook (Paperback)

This book has basically everything you could ever want to know about the Rebel Alliance; its heroes, its organization, its weapons, ships, and equipment. This is a HUGE help when GMing the old West End RPG (still one of the greatest RPG's of all time). Even if you aren't a gamer, this one is a must-read for fans of the original trilogy.
