Editorial Review:
New options for scoundrel characters from the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. Learn what it takes to be a smuggler, or how to build up a criminal empire that can rival the Hutt clans. Take your ship on the dangerous Kessel run, or chase down a bounty and claim your reward. Watch out for the long arm of Imperial law, though, or you may find yourself on a one-way trip to the spice mines. This book provides extensive information on life on the fringe in the Star Wars universe. More than just information for players, this book gives Gamemasters a wide variety of information on bounty hunters, crime syndicates, smugglers, pirates, and criminals of all stripes throughout the Star Wars setting. Covering everything from vile Hutt gangsters to smooth-talking con artists, Scum and Villainy gives both players and Gamemasters everything they need to fit right in at Mos Eisley spaceport. Scum and Villainy brings the Saga Edition rules to the fringes of society, introducing new rules and information on smugglers, bounty hunters, crime lords, and anyone else that walks outside the law.

Best SAGA Supplement to date!!!! An absolutely awesome rpg supplement for the game that won 3 gold and 1 silver medal at the Ennies last year.
Old School Meets New School Scum and Villainy is probably Wizards of the Coast's most creative, fluffy book in its Star Wars line ever.

This was the side of Star Wars most often represented in West End Game's line of Star Wars RPG books in the 80s and 90s, and now WotC has picked up where they left off... more info
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. The Star Wars RPG team is really on a roll here. Another great book though it's far more focused than recent supplements. This is the perfect book if you're running a campaign with a smuggler, pirate, crime lord, bounty hunter, or any type of unsavory character we've seen in the Star Wars Universe. That having been said there's almost nothing for Jedi here (they receive only one talent) so if you're playing a Jedi campaign and pressed for money, get the Knights of The Old Republic guide which came out... more info
