			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-619" title="star-wars-saga-edition" src="http://kotor.griffcrier.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/star-wars-saga-edition-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> Wizards of the Coast has <a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75862/22320337/Wizards_of_the_Coast_announcement">announced its not renewing its </a><em><a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75862/22320337/Wizards_of_the_Coast_announcement">Star Wars </a></em><a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75862/22320337/Wizards_of_the_Coast_announcement">license for role-playing and miniatures games</a>. As a result the last release for <em>Star Wars: Saga Edition </em>will be <em>The Unknown Regions </em>later this spring.  Former lead developer Rodney Thompson posted his thoughts on the end of the line to his blog: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/wotc_rodney/blog/2010/01/29/so_long,_and_thanks_for_all_the_mon_calamari">So Long, And Thanks For All The Mon Calamari</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nuketown.com/games/news/thoughts-on-the-end-of-star-wars-saga-edition">As I wrote over on </a><em><a href="http://www.nuketown.com/games/news/thoughts-on-the-end-of-star-wars-saga-edition">Nuketown, </a></em><a href="http://www.nuketown.com/games/news/thoughts-on-the-end-of-star-wars-saga-edition">it&#8217;s a sad day for </a><em><a href="http://www.nuketown.com/games/news/thoughts-on-the-end-of-star-wars-saga-edition">Star Wars</a>. </em>But there&#8217;s a silver lining too &#8212; Rodney gave us a great game with campaign books for almost every era you might want to run in (with the sole exception of <em>The New Jedi Order</em>) as well as supplements like <em>Scum and Villainy </em>and <em>Galaxy of Intrigue </em>that offer plenty of genre-specific options as well as tools to make the GMs job easier.  The game&#8217;s going out on top, without any of the end-of-edition crap books that we saw with<em> D&amp;D</em> 3.x and<em> D&amp;D 2nd Edition</em>.</p>
<p>For our part, <em><a href="http://kotor.griffcrier.com">Shadows of the Force</a> </em>will likely run for another year or two as we progress through the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War. Beyond that, I don&#8217;t know &#8212; we&#8217;ve discussed running a &#8220;Dark Times&#8221; legacy campaign focusing on the descendants of our original KOTOR heroes during the time of the Sith Triumvirate, but it&#8217;s nice to know that I could just as easily run a Rebellion Era or Clone Wars game.</p>
