The second edition rule set for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, crafted by Bill Smith and released by West End Games, saw publication in October of 1992. Within its pages are the rules of play, guidance for both game masters and players, details on the setting, character templates, advice for crafting scenarios, and several ideas to spark adventures.
This edition took the place of the initial rulebook edition, and in turn, was itself updated and expanded into a later edition four years subsequently.
