(The core system is based on that of WEG's Ghostbusters RPG.)

The game, based on WEG's earlier Ghostbusters RPG, established much of the groundwork of what later became the Star Wars expanded universe, and its sourcebooks are still frequently cited by Star Wars fans as reference material. Lucasfilm considered the West End Games' Star Wars sourcebooks so authoritative that when Timothy Zahn was hired to write what became the Thrawn trilogy, he was sent a box of West End Games Star Wars books and directed to base his novel on the background material presented within. Many of the first uses of Star Wars alien names (such as the Twi'lek, Rodian, and Quarren) appeared for the first time in WEG's Star Wars books. Even after Disney's reboot of the Star Wars Expanded Universe in 2014, much of this nomenclature still exists in new canon works.

In 1992 West End Games published the second edition of the game, in which the title remained unchanged. In 1996 a revision of the second edition appeared, but its title was slightly changed from Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game - Second Edition to The Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Second Edition - Revised and Expanded.

By the end of the game's run around 140 sourcebook and adventure supplements had been published for the game during its run through three editions.

In addition fifteen issues of a magazine series, the Star Wars Adventure Journal, were published between 1994 and 1998. The Adventure Journal was published in novel format with around 280 pages, and consisted of adventures and articles for the game, plus short stories intended to provide inspiration for gamemasters and news relating to Star Wars.

WEG's license to produce Star Wars material was lost after the company declared bankruptcy in 1998, and the license was later acquired by Wizards of the Coast, who held it until 2010.

In 2018, Fantasy Flight Games published the 30th Anniversary Edition comprising the original core rulebook, and The Star Wars Sourcebook."

Via wikipedia over Star Wars Sourcebook:
"Star Wars Sourcebook is a campaign setting and game supplement, featuring art from the film productions. It includes statistics and information for various starships, droids, vehicles and equipment, aliens and other creatures, stormtroopers and rebels, Imperial and rebel bases, and presents statistics for the major film characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Darth Vader."

Via wikipedia over Dark Empire Sourcebook:
"In 1987, four years after the release of the third (and at the time, the final) Star Wars movie, Return of the Jedi, West End Games published the popular Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. However, by 1992, having published many supplements and adventures, West End Games was finding it increasingly difficult to create original material out of the original trilogy of movies; they decided to release a second edition of the game based on other material that had been published. The third supplementary sourcebook to be published for the second edition, Dark Empire Sourcebook, is based upon the Dark Empire comic series by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy.

Dark Empire Sourcebook is a <...> book written by Michael Allen Horne and Carol Hutchings, with graphics, illustrations and cover art by John Paul Lona, Dave Dorman and Cam Kennedy. The sourcebook gives biographical profiles of notable personalities from the comics, a brief overview of the history of the New Republic, an essay on the Force, and brief profiles of planets and aliens mentioned in the comics. It also includes a 16-page color insert, and several sidebars covering various incidents."

Shannon Appelcline, in the 2014 book Designers & Dragons: The '80s, noted that after West End Games published a second edition of the Star Wars role-playing game in 1992, "The Star Wars line was even enjoying something of a renaissance, with some innovative material going to press, notably the DarkStryder Campaign (1996), which took a darker look at the Star Wars universe." 

The Darkstryder Campaign is a boxed set that was designed by Peter Schweighofer, Doug Shuler, Bill Smith, Eric Trautmann, Timothy Zahn, Daniel Scott Palter, Richard Hawran, Stephen Crane, Paul Sudlow, Pablo Hidalgo, and Miranda Horner, with illustrations by Tim Bobko, David Day, Terry Pavlet, Brian Schomburg, Philip Tan, David Deltrick, Christopher Moeller, Doug Shuler, and Mike Vilardi.

The boxed set consists of

96-page softcover Campaign Book (describes in detail the starship FarStar and its crew)
96-page softcover Adventure Book (includes an overview of the Kathol Sector, and six sequentially linked adventures)
52 character and ship cards
a 22’ x 34’ double-sided poster map

In the June 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue #230), Rick Swan called this set of adventures "one of the most dramatic turning points in the game's history [...] Forget your cuddly Ewoks, your bumbling droids, your kiddie show aliens. DarkStryder conjures a harsher, drearier universe, a Star Wars for grown-ups." Swan was intrigued by this new darker tone, saying, "The campaign features villains who murder, allies who backstab, and heroes who die. A haze of despair hangs over DarkStryder, which is both intriguing and disturbing. It’s like visiting Oz and finding alcoholic Munchkins." He called the illustrated cards of notable personalities "a nice touch, useful for players and gamemasters alike." He thought the linked adventures were "well-staged and easy-to-run adventures, offering a satisfying blend of action, problem-solving, and role-playing." However, Swan was troubled that the campaign "doesn't really go anywhere; it's all set-up and no climax." He concluded by giving the boxed set an average score of 4 out of 6, saying, "With its unresolved plot lines and unanswered questions, it feels incomplete. The designers still seem to be groping for a style, as if they’re not quite sure how far they can go. Consequently, DarkStryder doesn't plunge Star Wars into darkness; it merely draws the shades a bit. Next time, I hope they throw caution to the wind really go for the grit. For now, DarkStryder stands as a promising beginning, a rich, involving expansion that opens up an RPG on the verge of rusting shut.""

Met deze set is het probleem van de reviewer opgelost, wat we hebben de rest van het avontuur,
zoals je kunt lezen in deze quote van een reviewer via wikipedia:
"Rilstone enjoyed its epic sweep, and "It also ties the plot threads together into a satisfying conclusion, and the secret of Darkstryder is sufficiently interesting to make the extremely long, journey to discover it seem worthwhile." He concluded by giving the book an above average rating of 8 out of 10, saying, "if you played the whole thing right through - you might just find that you'd played in a RPG that felt more like Star Wars than the actual movies.""
