Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition is the second edition of the miniature war game designed by Jay Little and produced by Fantasy Flight Games that was first announced on May 1, 2018, and first release on September 13 later the same year. It features tactical ship-to-ship dogfighting between various factions and starfighters set in the fictional Star Wars universe. The game is played in a series of rounds wherein both players set maneuvers for each of their ships in the battle area without knowledge of the opponent's maneuvers. The game is over when one player's fleet is entirely destroyed. The second edition of the game is compatible with the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures first edition ship models via the conversion kits made for each faction, however, rules, templates, and markers have all been changed.
Game Description
Directly from the publisher: "Enter the next era of interstellar combat in the Star Wars galaxy! In X-Wing: Second Edition, you assemble a squadron of iconic starfighters from across the Star Wars saga and engage in fast-paced, high-stakes space combat with iconic pilots such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
With refined gameplay that focuses on the physical act of flying starships, X-Wing Second Edition lets you create your own Star Wars space battles right on your tabletop. Intuitive mechanics create the tense atmosphere of a firefight while beautifully pre-painted miniatures draw you deeper into the action. Man your ships and enter the fray!"[2]
The Core Set
The core set, which is required to play the game, includes one T-65 X-wing miniature and two TIE/ln fighter miniatures. This core set uses miniatures and pilots based on the original trilogy, such as Luke Skywalker, as well as the expanded universe including Iden Versio from the Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) video game.

Factions
There are a total of 7 playable factions for the second edition of the game. Each faction is based on a side of the galaxy-wide conflicts set forth by the Skywalker Saga movies with the 7th faction being iconic characters who are unaligned across all 3 eras of conflict. While the core set features only two of the possible 7 playable factions –– the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire –– the others are sold in expansion packs, or can be carried over from the first edition of the game using the conversion kits.

Conversion Kits and Dial Upgrades[3]
Within the conversion kits, players will find all of the components necessary to upgrade their existing Rebellion, Empire, Resistance, First Order, or Scum & Villainy ship collections from the first edition of X-Wing to the second edition. The conversion kit contains new ship cards, tokens, and upgrade cards. The conversion kit also includes the second edition maneuver dials for each ship.
The dial upgrade kits contain three plastic protectors that situate a ship’s dial within a secure housing. They also include a space on the back to insert a dial ID token displaying a silhouette of the corresponding ship, making it easy to differentiate between your ships.
Note that neither of these kits is required to play the second edition of the game. The conversion kits should instead be seen as a way for those who have collected an array of ships from the first edition to use their collection in the second edition, and the dial kits as an aesthetic choice only.
