Wizards Snags Star Wars RPG License

The Wizards of the Coast has signed an exclusive agreement with Lucas Licensing to publish role-playing games, tabletop games, and accessories based on the popular Star Wars universe and the three Star Wars prequels, which started with Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

"The Star Wars saga has long been a great foundation for role-playing, and we are very proud to be partnered with the people who are renowned for the best role-playing products in the world,'' said Howard Roffman, president of Lucas Licensing Ltd.

Star Wars fans will have to wait until next fall to see the first game based on the new licensing agreement.
