Awesome. I have a bunch of ideas for a star wars campaign when we get there. I'll try and keep them episodic.

THere's also this, which I'm thinking of getting (since Damon has the Starships book):

Threats of the Galaxy: A Compendium of Creatures and Villains

Nice. I'll definitely get the KotOR book, though I'm sure I won't be the only one. I have been on a space/scifi kick for a while, so i've got everything from a campaign kick-off to various other adventures in mind. I know our schedules have become busy; but I'd be ready to run/play this anytime!

I'm guessing he's figuring out a way to shoehorn beholders into the setting!

Too bad there isn't a promotion where I can trade in my old starwars books for Saga edition.

At $40, it's hard to justify making that purchase twice. But KotOR!

Only $26.37 on Amazon.

Personally, I think it's well worth purchasing; this is easily the best d20 version of the game (hell, I'd say the best version, period, any system) and it played very well when we did our playtest for my SCIFI review last year -- thus one of the big reasons why we're excited about the possibility of a KOTOR campaign.

Hm... hadn't thought of the on-liners! This changes things substantially.
