There have been multiple suggestions and polls as to what the next packs should be, with a huge list of suggestions--never once was Star Wars on it. Just becuase it's never been done before doesn't mean it should.
Trying to be positive, but, uh, why was this even an idea? I have to admit--now we have proof EA has lost touch with the game's base. Personally, TS takes place in an alternative universe, one where Star Wars doesn't exist, and most definitely, not in Star Wars universe. Gonna be real weird having Star Wars stuff in the main game worlds. This pack, and Star Wars in general just has no place in the Sims universe. It's so out of place. I think it's what happen when you let marketing, and not fans make decisions. I guess their idea was to get the huge legion of Star Wars fans to buy the game.
While I may get this pack for the droids (and am hoping, Jyn Erso is among the premades, but I doubt it), I sure hope their are tons of toggles to get this stuff out of the game. We wanted vehicles--cars and trucks, not speeder bikes an Millennium Falcons. And I'm betting like the REDACTED Lab and Community Spaces, you really can't mess with the structures in whatever world we are getting. Not a fan of violence that much either in the game. I had mods that did allow it; but eventually got rid of them.
Sadly, Star Wars is just as niche as Star Trek, although you can bet your antigrav boots I'd jump on a Star Trek pack. I would very much like to see the trailer for this, just in case I see something worth my while to purchase this pack. I had some fun with Strangerville, using the scenario as a mission for my Trek characters, but I'm uncertain about Batuu. I have only watched four of the Star Wars movies. Ever.
I'm more of a Trekkie too and have only watched the first 3 Star Trek films and one of Star Wars but they've mentioned bunkers in the blog and that's what I'll be doing with my Strangerville content. Maybe Oasis Springs could be used as well. I'm already using it as an Area 52 escape world from the Mother. I always mix and match stuff a lot!

PS: I did make a suggestion to Paradox on Twitter about a Terry Pratchett, Ankh Morpork Cims game. They liked the idea but thought the rights to it would be too difficult to get! B) )
