Read about it here
So is FFG any good as a company? I hear their Warhammer Games are good. |

Oh, yes. The MIDNIGHT campaign setting is a great deal of fun. It's a fascinating look at a world which poses the question "What if Evil had already won?"

Only problem is that they use guns |

Agreed.
I'll note, also, that FFG's WH40K adventures remind me, particularly, of the old 1e/2e TSR adventure modules... in that, the amount of background info they each contain practically makes them almost double as sourcebooks themselves.
That is an excellent point. They've been very good at that, and in taking the endlessly grimdark world of 40k and making it seem.. well, more 'realistic', in that the RPG looks more at the people who actually live there, rather then just the fighting. Something that's greatly impressed me.
Between Pathfinder, FFG and some small indie stuff, I've never been happier running and playing RPG's. |

FFG's Warhammer 40k line is fantastic, rich in lore and fluff and with fairly solid mechanics. The adventures they put out for it are pretty good too. The 40k fanboy in me loves them more then GW for fluff. Anyone of their 40k lines is top notch and well recommended. Their Warhammer RPG is good, but it's third edition moved in a way I didn't like too much.
I'm sure that if they put out a Star Wars RPG, it'll be equally well made, but I'll be surprised if they'll have the same freedom of movement to create new fluff in the Star Wars setting as they do in 40k, which is one of the main draws for me. Further, it'll have to be amazing to move me away from SAGA Edition, given how fantastic that was (and how many books I have for that) |

I like the X-Wings too, but I've always been more of an Imperial-fan when it comes to STAR WARS.
Cool toys all around for both sides. However, I prefer the look and function of most of the Imperial stuff. |

Ditto, except that I prefer X-Wings. |

Sadly, this is very true.
On the plus side [and I should note that the "plus" is qualified only by whether you're a fan of PDF books], the ability to download any WH40K products from drivethrurpg.com for relatively "cheaper" prices, means avoiding those expensive printed-book price-tags.

Here's to hope they will revive the D6 Star Wars RPG |

Ok, I have heard alot of good things about Dragonstar. Consider me excited now... |

DRAGONSTAR was a fine setting, and it admirably displayed the kind of talent FFG had to call upon back in the d20 days.
Their current lot of WARHMAMMER and WARHAMMER 40,000-based RPGS are, in my opinion, some of the best products on the gaming market today. They're chock full of background material, with a simply-applied rules-set that maximises gaming potential in what would otherwise be a very difficult setting to translate to the table-top.
Aside from the RPGs, though, I also semi-frequently play some of their card and board games too. The majority of which easily beat most of the other currently available CCG and board games from most other publishers. So these details about FFG picking up the LFL is good news for me, because it also opens to door, potentially, to new RPG works based in the STAR WARS universe.

They did Dragonstar, several years back. I had a few quibbles with the backstory for the setting, but otherwise quite liked it. I loved the idea of soulmechs, too. |
