Recently I've been trying to get into MTG as my first CCG game, but I was overwhelmed by the amount of keywords, types of cards and playstyles. I've picked up this and am enjoying this much more. Easier to learn and I prefer the art style (for most cards) and Star Wars theme. And it's new for everyone, so I don't get destroyed by someone who's been playing the game for 2-3 decades
I agree with you on the getting owned by veteran players with huge/expensive collections--but the other part of that is playing a game with people that actually want to play the game for enjoyment, not just some tryhard wannabe pro player who prioritizes beating other players into the ground on turn one as their main concern. I would avoid the latter at all costs. In other words, avoid playing Magic online or Arena at all costs.
I think this is a pretty good effort for a two-player starter, if a bit spendy. However, you do get some extra goodies like the deck boxes, counters, playmats, etc. I saw one review where the guy was bashing on FFG for not designing the starter box so it could be used as a carrier for the contents once opened (i.e. the deck boxes once popped open won't fit back into the starter box), but I think this is a minor complaint when you stop and think that with all the extras mentioned the game actually includes way more stuff than pretty much any other card game's starters. In most other games you get a one-player starter deck with no play accessories except a tiny rulebook with nearly illegible miocroprint. Overall a good intro in my opinion.
Did you notice the card "Shoot First" in the Luke deck? Did you notice Han Solo has the same effect on his character card in that deck? How much more appropriate can you be than "HAN ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST" being so loudly proclaimed right in the damn starter deck? XD

Little detail I appreciated was that the included deck boxes were deep enough to hold each deck *after* sleeving.

Did you say you did a video on the pre-release kit? Cause I don’t see one
I do its being edited now. I'll get it out in a few fays
I'm mixed on the art but the cards are so thematic and fun!
The art will get better and more uniform as we go.. Look at the first set of magic.. Yuck
