On the other hand, a lot of people might like to do this if there was reasonable in-game compensation. It doesn't have to be a lot, but ... something. I'd still rather that playtesters get paid for the work since EA/CG is going to make money off their work, but with such a large fanbase if they offer this opportunity up with no pay there will be enough people jumping to do EA/CG's work for free that it's likely to at least make the outcome better. If people want to do it for free, I'm not going to stop them.
As you said, there'd be enough ppl to do it for free. I'd gladly test out stuff and experiment as I like to theory craft stuff.

If they do do this, there would have to be another, private forum just for those playtesters to talk to each other. People could suggest crazy, off-the-wall ideas like using NS Zombie as lead against Darth Revan.
I think discord would be perfectly fine for this.

could see a private test server lets say 100 or so per shard to test if not less with a none disclosure agreements so they can test out new legendaries and what not and test the difficulty of events also so stuff dosen't get leaked with out repercussions as they choose.

They need testers of all shapes and sizes.
I would go to YouTube and see who really knows their stuff and who seems to always find a loop or loophole with kits that destroy raids or arena teams.
Let them go crazy and try everything. I think it’s important because players like this have a great mind for the game. I also don’t think people at CG can play this game like players do.
I think we need to find a balance here. On the one hand a bigger number of people would mean there's a higher chance that certain interactions might be found that even the guys with the greatest game knowledge couldn't discover right away (one day there might be an interaction that makes Geonosian Soldier OP and he's not one of these chars that you'd test immediately unlike JKR, DR, etc.). On the other hand the play testers should be a bit familiar with game mechanics so we don't just get "omg it can score 200k dmg hits, it MUST be broken!" feedback.
