I read through it last night, most interesting stuff not in the LTP rules are about verticle movement (grappling hooks is actually useful!), vehicle displacement (charge through enemy squads and supress them!), and the very specific format and wording of the "factions" section.

I think it might be from Fully Operational, that's a guess, only saying that because Scientist is specialization there and I don't remember it in anything.

Is it typical, or is it smart, for a character to have no skills or talents at creation, and all of their xp is in characteristics? I heard it's best to spend most on characteristics, but I currently have actually all of it in characteristics.
Xavier Green
You get some picks at skills through your career and specialization choice so don't sweat. Prioritize characteristics, put what you earn during sessions into skills and talents as you feel helps for adventuring. Some of the early talents (grit, toughened, or something role specific that helps the team) might be worth grabbing before saving up to put a skill at 3.

Why not just make light side only and dark side only rebellion/imperial instead rather than a separate thing that always lines up with a given faction?
Jose Martin
It could be future-proofing.

Probably so they can cover their bases - like how X-wing now has Rebel’s, Imps, Resistance and FO. Maybe they expect legion to move into the sequel or prequel territory and need to have something more era-nonspecific.
Planning ahead certainly can’t hurt.
Plus there might be things down the line where a dark sided can work with the rebels or a light side can work with the imps and can use those upgrades specifically rather than native rebel/imp ones

I wish the empire wasn't retarded. As an organization they kill themselves and individually stormtroopers are a joke.

I actually like the rules, can't wait to get the starter box and start painting.
And the army creation seem painless and fun, as well the commander mechanic. However, I feel that as the game will release in the 22nd, there isn't much of a collection or a way for you to express yourself through factions or armies. Leia and the Imperiall commander dudesman are a good start, I guess.

It's both typical and smart. Other than rare upgrades that come one-to-a-talent-tree, you can't further upgrade Characteristics.
