SW:G's launch will be roughly as smooth as AO's launch, with half the fun! Long, boring runs, a very poorly done melee system plus a not really entertaining ranged fighting system, forced use of classes that normally wouldn't be used (After fighting, you get "battle fatigue", and then have to go sit in a cantina and watch some entertainer dance with canned emotes. Woohoo.), no Jedis at launch because they can't figure out how to get them to work, no vehicles, no space. I'd call it EverQuest in space if the gameplay mechanics were half as good and if the gameplay itself was half as fun. Good eye candy though *shrugs* but like Kec said, I'm not touching it unless someone else buys it, gets me an advance of that first expansion, pays for the account, and pays me per hour to play it.
Yes, I was in the beta, so I'm not going by hearsay.
