What is the Best VTT for Star Wars 5e

If you want to pilot an X-Wing through an asteroid field, discover ancient Jedi secrets, and explore the thrilling Star Wars galaxy with your friends online, you’ll need a virtual tabletop (VTT) to do it. Star Wars 5e offers players more familiar with the Dungeons and Dragons 5e system a path to tell their stories in the Star Wars Universe without having to learn an entirely new TTRPG. However, there are many notable differences, such as all new classes, archetypes, starship combat, and ‘spells,’ which have been split into ‘Tech Powers’ and ‘Force Powers.’ Your choice of VTT is a critical one, as this decision can set up your next game to be extremely fun or extremely frustrating.
