Rise of the Separatists

        I find it a little odd the way that Fantasy Flight are handling different Era's within their Star Wars RPG. Just putting out a sourcebook for them, whereas I feel that they would be better treated as separate games.
        Playing within the Old Republic, or The Clone Wars, are very different in play style to playing within the Imperial era. Playing as Jedi the guardians of peace, or as a fringer alongside a generally more benevolent Republic, rather than the oppressive Empire hunting down the last of the Jedi, and crushing all criminal activity.
        But, anyway, here's their latest book, Rise of the Separatists, dealing with the Clone Wars.

"For generations, the Jedi Knights have been guardians of peace and justice in the Republic. But now they face a challenge like never before. With the Battle of Geonosis, the Clone Wars have begun. Battles rage across the galaxy as the Jedi and the Grand Army of the Republic fight back against the sinister agents and indefatigable droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Meanwhile, the diplomats and representatives of the Galactic Senate work for peace and forge political alliances. Amid the chaos, looters, salvagers, and other fringers profit from the detritus of war, or simply try to survive.
