A Star Wars tabletop role-playing game using Dungeons & Dragons rules has been announced for release in 2027. The news matters because it would bring one of the world’s biggest entertainment franchises into D&D’s ecosystem, but has also prompted concern that it could displace the existing Star Wars RPG.

Fans are particularly worried about the future of the current game, which uses a different rules system and has built a dedicated audience through its books and supplements. The announcement does not itself confirm that the existing RPG will end, but the apparent overlap has led players to question whether support for it will continue once the D&D-based game arrives.
