Why is Star Wars Battlefield so nice to watch, but so awful to play?

Hi, i moved your post to the Star Wars Battlefront forum, Battlefield 1 is another game. 
Don't give up. You say you love the scenery but feel you are being outmatched by better players. That should not be a problem. I didn't play it for a while due to personal things and other nice games being out there, recently picked it up again and i noticed that i was 'behind' as well when it comes to certain guns or skills. Just keep on playing, make some Hutt Contracts, level up. 

There are some nice modes for you to join, like Heroes versus Villains where the type of gun or powerups don't really matter since you will be a hero or a guard most of the time. Use that to level up, earn some credits and buy the stuff you want. On the kill death ratio, try not to run through open spaces, take your time, hide behind things. Not telling you should camp but there are a lot of decent riffles from the start to get those kills or assists from a longer distance. Playing the objective also helps you leveling up faster, so try to capture zones/flags (depending on what game-mode), guide the Walker Assault etc etc. 

You can't blame Dice for you just picking up this game and tell it's their fault people have already unlocked everything, the game was released in 2015. 

Good luck and see you on the battlefront.
