Allow me to review this game after playing around 2 weeks.
Note: I played on standard PS4 so some of my comments may be irrelevant to PC users. Also sorry for the bad English.
FIRST IMPRESSION
As someone who really likes Star Wars, I find this game pretty cool and fun. Yes, there are indeed controversies regarding the loot box, but I honestly think the game is worthed now after the dev disabled the option to purchase crystals and make it easier for players to unlock certain character. Heck, I even bought the standard edition and I unlocked all heroes except chewbacca less than a week.
Yes, people are also complaining about the star cards that give player slightly more edge than others. I believe that this is not really the case because you could get killed really fast even though your star card is at max level (true story). Hell, I even used Darth Vader once and only last maybe about a minute ☹️. It really depends on your teamwork and personal skill.
PERFORMANCE
Because I played on the standard PS4, it is no surprise that there are some FPS drops especially on maps like Endor and Kashyyyk plus all the explosions and lighting effects. But most of the times I didn't even notice the FPS drop because of the immersion and it does not really affect your aim whatsoever. Overall, the game is very playable.
CAMPAIGN
I finished the main campaign + resurrection for around 7 hours with the highest difficulty (Special Forces). I liked the story, progression, plot twist, and so on. It gives you some kind of cinematic vibe that would make you immersed in the story.
MULTIPLAYER
I agree with @GT-Anakin, the squad system does not really work because no one actually gives a damn about the squad if you are playing with stranger lol. Permanent squad and the ability to spawn near the squad is a nice change. And currently I don't really feel any difference in the credits given whether I won or not (Someone please confirm this). I think it would be nicer if the dev could give more incentive to the winning team by giving more credits.
Here are some problem I encountered during my gameplay:
- For the love of God, please fix Palpatine's lightning. It could damage players through wall. I'm not entirely sure if this is the ACTUAL mechanic of the game but I think this is messed up and should be fixed soon. Being on the light side with defense objective inside a closed room vs palpatine sucks a lot.
- I've noticed that a lightsaber's tip could go through game objects such as wall if the hero is really close to it.
- Speeders and other vehicles could 1 hit kill by going through players. Its really frustating when you spent 3000 battle points or more and got killed by these things which are cheaper by far (300 for a speeder).
- There is no option to turn on/off lightsaber manually - This does not critically affect gameplay, but it could be useful to add stealth elements and prevent enemies to spot you from far away (plus going through a dark place using Darth Vader and suddenly surprise your enemy by igniting your lightsaber is pretty dope).
FUTURE IDEAS
- Add more heroes (Anakin, Mace Windu, Count Dooku, General Grievous, and so on)
- More weapons
- Add more maps and other iconic places
- Cosmetics (would be nice if you could change the appearance of a class from helmet, armor, and so on)

cosmetic would be nice for gameplay (i'd die for a Republic Commando), but i'd prefer the origin avatar for the winning screen.
About your idea more credits for the winning team, i'd correct this to more credits for objective play. So often that there is only two or three good players in the other team and you have no support in yours.
I just noticed that i posted this in the technical issue forum. Maybe a moderator can move this in the feedback section
