After playing with it for a few hours these are my pros and cons:
Pros:
CAS is great for living-off-the-grid type sims
I like the grunginess of BB and there is a lot included
The fact that Rey, Kylo, and the scoundrel leader have their own unique voices
Some of the missions are actually a challenge (I've only played as a rebel so far)
You have to upgrade and befriend your droid and they can help you on missions
Lightsaber duels are fun to watch
The world is beautiful
You can stay in Batuu as long as you want
Cons:
Apparently occults lose all of their abilities on Batuu for some reason
Most missions are loading screens and grinding or rabbitholes
You can't really do a lot with lightsabers
You can't bring anything with you to Batuu
No new traits or skills
CAS - 8/10
BB - 8/10
World - 6/10
Gameplay - 5/10
Overall Score - 6/10
The best way to play this in my opinion is as a fully immersive theme park. Either that or your sim got abducted by aliens and got placed in a simulator based off stories of Star Wars as a psychological experiment.
