When T4 (the Imperium Games edition) came out last year, Marc Miller
kept
mentioning how it was modified based on "20 years of roleplaying game
design
experience" or some such (by the way, it ISN'T, but that's WAY off
topic).
That would peg the game at around 1976.  I didn't see it until 1980, and
by
then they were up to 5 books (including High Guard and Mercenary). The
Citizens of the Imperium book included stats for Luke Skywalker and
Darth Vader.
