I think as extensive as the rules are for EotE as presented, one of its strengths as a game is how well the mechanics work with improvisation. One doesn't necessarily need to have everything statted out, but enough is provided to handle whatever the players throw at you. If someone wants to be a Tusken Raider, I'd use the human or wookie profile and create a Hired Gun with a Marauder specialisation, inclusive of them being proficient in Melee and taking a Gaffe Stick. As enemies, they'd likely be minions similar to an Aqualish thug... Using slugtrowers and Gaffee sticks as their armaments.
Yes, later splat books will likely have sand people and jawas... But if you have someone insisting on being or fighting Sandpeople, the system as it stands has enough info to go on. I'm of the mind that as a system, its a great start. While it doesn't have as much support behind it as either WEGs version or WotC's Saga Edition, neither of those systems did right out of the gate either. What I also like about FFG's treatment of it is that much of the info for stuff not yet available can easily be extrapolated by cross referencing wookiepedia until an official resource is released.
As for price, its a matter of opinion. it's still cheaper than most of the university textbooks that I had, and I graduated 20 years ago.
