Reception

Chris Hind reviewed Star Wars Adventure Journal Volume 1, Issue 1 in White Wolf Inphobia #53 (March, 1995), rating it a 3.5 out of 5 and stated that "Thanks to its format, the Adventure Journal is the equivalent of a 140-page, standard product - the equivalent of [a higher priced] value."^[1]

Andrew Rilstone reviewed The Best of the Star Wars Adventure Journal for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall.^[2] Rilstone comments that "If you like the writing of Zahn and Tyers, then this book is probably worth having for the fiction; but if it's roleplaying material you are after, there are better things to spend your credits on."^[2]
