We found it to be OK. It's a pretty light deckbuilder with some good ideas, but the game doesn't work a little too often for our taste. It's really swingy and games tend to have one player just run away with the whole thing. If you're not familiar with deckbuilders, you play cards from your hand to generate resources, then use those resources to buy better cards which get added to your deck.
As a competitive deck builder, it often ends up just being a race to whoever buys the first card that costs 6 or more (the big boys - Luke, Vader, etc). Whoever gets the first one of those pretty much always just keeps extending their lead so there's not much reason to keep playing after that.
The cards available to purchase are limited as well - 6 available at all times and the Rebel player can only buy Rebel & Neutral cards, Empire player can only buy Empire&Neutral. If one player ends up with only 1-2 cost cards available and the other player has 3-5 cost cards available, they really have no chance.
It's not a bad game (thankfully its quick) but more often than not it just feels like you're playing a game that's per-determined by the initial shuffle.
We probably got $15 of enjoyment out of it (I paid closer to MSRP), but its not one that will last on the shelf much longer.

How are you going to talk about Disney's Star Wars and NOT talk about Andor? Andor is probably the best thing to come out of the Star Wars franchise since the original movie. It's nothing short of fantastic.
