I got the game about a week ago, and it is truly amazing. In the big space battles you feel like you're controlling a part of the movie. It's awesome. The skirmishes are made to be more like a standard RTS, if simplified, and they work very well. The galactic conquest mode brings it further to life, after a few games with a friend (1 win, 1 loss). In fact, the only big gripe I can claim is that the ground battles tend to be very unbalanced. The empire's vehicles are rediculously underpowered. The rebels have "Plex Soldiers" that wield powerful rocket launchers. Four or five of those guys can take out just about any equal amount of vehicles (except for Tie Maulers, but those suckers are only good against infantry, and only then because they can run them over in formation), but the Empire has just Stormtroopers that wield blasters. I believe that this could be fixed in a patch rather easily, if they would just make ATSTs worth building, and downgrade the Plex Soldiers about a third.
