Now that I've beaten the campaign and played a good bit of multiplayer (Lots of Galactic Assault, a few rounds of Starfighter Assault), I have to say, I'm enjoying this game a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. The progression has its problems, sure, and I can definitely see how problematic the microtransactions would have been, but as it is now I think this is a pretty decent (though as I said, flawed) game. Holding down the palace on Naboo, storming the Rebel base on Yavin-4, and infiltrating the second Death Star have been very, very fun and cool moments for me.
I'm one of the weirdos who really likes the prequel era, so I hope a lot more content from that era is added soon. Regardless though, I'm totally in on this game, and I can't wait to see how it improves in the next few months.
