Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Roleplaying Game

Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is a core rulebook and series of supplements for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, focusing on the fringes of the galaxy. Originally developed by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) in the United States, the brand has seen significant changes in its publishing and ownership hierarchy over the years. Production of these high-quality hardcover and softcover books typically occurs in multiple countries, including the United States, China, and Lithuania, depending on the specific printing run.

From an ownership perspective, the Star Wars intellectual property is famously owned by Lucasfilm Ltd., which is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. However, the tabletop gaming rights were licensed to Fantasy Flight Games, part of the Asmodee Group. In 2020, as part of a restructuring within Asmodee, the development of Star Wars RPG titles was transitioned from Fantasy Flight Games to Edge Studio, a specialized RPG publisher within the same parent organization. The Asmodee Group itself was acquired by the Swedish media holding company Embracer Group in 2022, placing the ultimate corporate ownership under the Embracer umbrella as of the mid-2020s.
