Star Wars (Check). RPG{ish} (Check). Miniatures (Check). Likely to have plenty of expansions (Check). This is on the fast track to becoming one of my all time favorite games. I Can't wait to play it again. 7/1/15 - I had to re-rate many of my games because IA raised the bar for my collection. It is the best game in my collection. It has been a hit for my wife, my gaming buddies went crazy for it, and I find that I can't get it to the table often enough to make me happy. It is the best game I own, and one of the best on the market right now. I still can't wait to play it again.

[i]2018/09/17 - 9 plays at 3-4p[/i] The game has great minis and components in general. I played the base campaign, and became gradually disillusioned with the game, because of an increasing imbalance between the Empire and the Rebellion. The four last plays were smashing defeats for the Rebellion, which was boring for everyone. In the end we did not even play the final scenario, even though it was the only one remaining to finish the campaign. Another problem was rules fiddlyness. Even after 9 plays we were still checking edge cases, slowing down the pace of the game. It seems the skirmish mode is really good, and there also a cooperative mode available with an app, but I did not try any of those play modes.

Another move and roll game. Didn't seem to have any meaningful decisions, but this is based on only one play. Also (blasphemy) I'm not that into the Star Wars theme.
