The second edition of Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back is a supplement to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, published by West End Games in 1996. Based on the First Edition written by Michael Stern, this edition was revised and expanded by Pablo Hidalgo.
The guide features character profiles with game stats for main and some secondary characters from the film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. This book supplies Expanded Universe backgrounds for many characters appearing in the film.
This edition expands upon characters only mentioned in the previous edition, and includes a new adventure as the last chapter of the guide. It is illustrated with photos from the film, replacing the artwork from the previous edition. A short story from the first edition, Little Girl Lost, is not included here.
