I really loved reading this book. As someone relatively new to tabletop gaming, but obsessed with Star Wars, this was really fun to delve into. Right off the bat, I noticed a few things that really intrigued me. Firstly, the use of a wide varying style in terms of the artwork felt like a really cool choice, and made it exciting (although some didn’t read the descriptions too well, I noticed). This was also written between Episodes II and III, as they don’t include the races or events from RotS. I found it strange that there was such a huge number of primative races.

Some races were stacked in terms of statistics: ikotchi, givin, sludir, krevaki, balosars, and whiphids.

Several Highlights jumped out at me:
-Adarian sonic boom
-Anomid curiosity +4 knowledge on species
-Anx anatomical awareness
-I love the baragwin
-Cerean magnetic blades
-Feeorin stronger with age!
-Koorivar rolling with extra money is really cool
-Love myneyrsh technophobia
-Neti shape changing is cool
-Southern nikto all the way
-Ortolans loving food is great
-Didn’t know quermians were telepathic
-Snivvians are interesting, between their history and multi classing
-Thakwaash multiple personalities is interesting
-Toong anxiety is so funny
-Love the woostid holocron database
-Troiken sounds like hell
-Loved the zabrak homeworld
-Big game hunters ignore damage reduction is so cool, as is bodyguards blanket protection

Great Star Wars rpg book about space aliens!

Good collection of races for the game, though this book is created for the previous version of the game, and therefore needs somewhat extensive revision for SW Sagas (4th ed.). I found myself wishing and pining for an updated version of this book, because there isn't a comprehensive listing of SW races for the 4th ed.
