Definitely odd behavior
It seems as if the manifest files are not updating correctly after patching to say the game is patched.
So saying that something can be blocking/file permission with the manifest file updating for example
You could take the system to a clean boot per this link and see if it behaves, other then that copy the entire swtor game folder to another folder location and create a new game shortcut to launcher.exe and see if redoing file permissions has any affect as well.
However It maybe simpler and less stressful plus time to do a clean install and see if it resolves.
Actually With the non streaming launcher you can even boot up in safe mode with networking
If the launcher doesnt update correctly there it never will ..... you can update in safe mode just not play the game.
but worthwhile seeing if the launcher stays updated by opening and closing a few times there

I reinstalled the entire game, but now I'm having the problem of: can't logging because this error keeps appearing "Unable to retrieve patch data. Check network connection (208)"
Last Log after trying to reinstall the entire game
