My first play of this, unitizing the tutorial from the new app, was an unpleasant experience. I’m hoping that future plays with a human overlord improve my experience.

Same make but different model from FFG. There are some tweaks to rules from Descent 2nd Edition, but SW:IA is just as enjoyable with just as much (incredible amount) replayability and with FFG giving the community free reign to create content, it'll be fun to play for many years to come. It does take a little getting used to, though, where Descent, every attack could miss if the attacker rolled an X on the always-rolled "blue attack die". In SW:IA, there is no "miss" for an attacker. *A few* characters (both sides) roll a white defense die instead of black and the white defense die has a "pizza" (as we call it) face that means the attack on you misses completely. If I had to find something to criticize it would be the dice symbols. FFG seems to have picked arbitrary symbols for stuff like defense ("shield") or "evade" or "dodge" on the defense dice. It's important to note, though, that you're playing as the REBELS, not the JEDI as a lot of people fantasize about when wanting to play this game. There's one Jedi-trainee of sorts who uses some force-named abilities, but no lightsaber to speak of (save for one specific quest reward that you very well may never even come across).

I love Descent 2nd edition and this is the Star Wars version of the tactical miniature campaign game. This also has a 1x1 skirmish miniature game out of the box and a coop style of play with app. Great game - cant go wrong with either.
