The rulebook for the second edition of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game was written by Bill Smith and published by West End Games in October 1992. It contains rules and guidelines for gamemasters and players as well as the setting, character templates, tips on how to design adventures and a number of adventure hooks.

This edition supersedes the first edition of the rulebook and itself was revised and expanded into a new edition four years later.
