Following its release, WEG published the second edition rules for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, making Heir to the Empire Sourcebook the last book published under the first edition rules.
WEG produced Heir to the Empire Sourcebook in 1992, a 144-page hardcover sourcebook (replaced in the second printing by a softcover version) designed by Bill Slavicsek, with interior art by Allen Nunis, Xeno Beck, and Paul Daly, and cover art by Tom Jung. In 1991, Lucasfilm hired Timothy Zahn to write novels set after the end of the first three movies, and Zahn subsequently produced Heir to the Empire (1991), the first book of the Thrawn Trilogy. From 1987–1991, WEG produced 23 supplementary sourcebooks, all based on the original three movies (now known as Episodes IV–VI). The result was Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. In 1987, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Star Wars, Lucasfilm licensed WEG to produce a role-playing game based on the first three Star Wars movies. With the fall of the Empire and establishment of the New Republic, player characters are no longer secret operatives, but can now openly operate as "troubleshooters, representatives and soldiers." Publication history Information, background and game statistics are provided for all of the characters, alien races, droids and starships mentioned in Zahn's book. The material in the book is based upon the novel Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn, the first book in Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. Heir to the Empire Sourcebook provides gamemasters with resources to create campaigns set in the days immediately following the fall of the Star Wars Empire depicted in the movie Return of the Jedi.
