I'm looking for the same thing but on iOS
@Zargh
You could probably do this (start a new Game Center linked SWGOH game) using the steps I listed for moving a guest account to Game Center.
The key difference would be after removing SWGOH from Game Center, in step 10, you choose "OK" instead of continue. That gets you a new game connected to your same Game Center profile.
Key word of warning, you probably won't ever be able to restore the original Game Center progress - i.e. you will never get your old game back.
I had to link my daughters guest account to her Game Center account, which had a lower level game already in progress. Just for clarity, she'd been playing as guest for a good while and when we needed to move her to a new device, she obviously wanted to keep her progress from the Guest game.
Okay, can't figure out how to link to that specific comment, so here are the steps:

Just fixed this for my daughter.
You don't need a new Apple ID, it's much easier than that.
Backup your device for safety.
1- Close SWGOH.
2- Open the Game Center app.
3- Log-in if you haven't using your preferred iTunes account.
4- Tap "Games" at the bottom.
5- Find SWGOH in the list.
6- Swipe left and choose "Delete".
7- Do NOT uninstall SWGOH when prompted; choose "Cancel" instead.
8- Leave Game Center logged in.
9- Open SWGOH.
10- When prompted, choose "Continue". (The message about level 0 and new games is confusingly stated).
11- Your Guest game will now become your Game Center game on your original iTunes account.
12- Stay logged in to Game Center and continue on as normal.
Hope this helps someone.
If you are trying to reset both your Game Center and local Guest game, go ahead and uninstall in step 7, then reinstall the game and proceed to play. If you're logged into Game Center when you open SWGOH, you get linked to your Apple ID, if not logged in, you get a Guest game. You can then switch between them by logging in/out of Game Center.
Don't know if that's by design, and I wouldn't count on it always working...don't spend money in a guest game if you want to be able to retrieve your game in case of device failure, upgrade, etc..
