How much does it cost EA to make a pack?
I've read online that at minimum a full-fledged game takes at minimum $3 million to make. Obviously 99% of the time it's higher than that-for example, No Man's Sky cost $10 million over several years ...

Do I think it will be the "best selling" pack? .... No.
- People are buying it just for build/buy and CAS
- People are buying it because they are a completionist
- People are buying it out of curiosity
- People who said they wouldn't buy it, actually bought it
- SW fans for sure will want to check it out or just buy it because they collect SW memorabilia even if they don't actually play
- Those that wanted SW in the game or like the pack and theme will be buying it as well
So they won't lose money on it.
Honestly, I would unfortunately fall under the 4 reasons under that list. So far I have not yet but I like the idea of having my stories/gameplay dictate when I use new packs. While there are some items I would want (SciFi BB, some CAS) I'm not a SW fan and it seems so specific that the odds of me getting it seem super slim.
I try to look for the good in all these packs but I can definitely say that they won't lose money with this one.
