Additional Skills for WEG's Star Wars Roleplaying Game

This is a list of skills not in the basic rulebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Second Edition, by West End Games.  It does not include the special skills of alien species.  The vast majority of these skills come from writeups of characters, and thus no detail on how to use them is provided.  If I note any discrepancies, or if there is a full write-up of the skill, it is noted in italics after the citation.  As always, if you have anything to add, contact me.
