Observe
A Star Wars Roleplaying Game Supplement by Messrs Rodney Thompson, Sterling Hershey, John Jackson Miller, and Abel G. Peña.
Based on the KOTOR era.
How can it go wrong?
Edit: At the behest of certain other users, I feel the need to do this:

This is too good to be true... what's the catch? 
I mean, it's Star Wars. They have to leave us something to complain about.

I guess the Catuman's out of the bag on this one. I was wondering how long I was going to have to keep quiet.
What can I say, of course, except that you shouldn't be disappointed.
Take care,
Abel

Jim Carrey paid $25m to make animal noises . . .or the Dantooinian woman and her droid lover and Bindo's destiny tale. Latter for me.

My utilisation of complex locution to ask what's more pathetic, fans who worship their
movie actors, or the actors who couldn't give a damn, is more a reflection of my own
superincumbent mental actuity than any circumscribed lexicon. Don't you agree?

Unfortunately I won't be getting this (I don't play the RPG), but it makes me exceptionally happy to hear about it. More information about the setting is most appreciated. 
(Stats for Jedi Revan, Alek, the Exile, and the Covenant, please.  )

First off: everyone involved in this project sucks.
Secondly: I hate you all.
//cry
Why couldn't this have been released for the GOOD version of the SWRPG? 
I really, really, really, really, really, really, really dislike most everything of Saga other than combining WP/VP.

Word.
I wonder if we can expect the canonical name or face of the Exile. Highly unlikely, though.
