Before you comfortably settle on your stance, give FFG EoE a try, you might re-evaluate your 'prefered' edition.
No.
I was getting tired of having to buy new editions of Star Wars by the time Saga Edition came out. I've got shelves full of d6 books, every single book published for the d20 version, and about half of the Saga Edition books. . .and I was really getting tired of it by Saga Edition. Buying several new books to try a new game (since the core rules are apparently spread out among different books, like D&D, and unlike prior Star Wars games) isn't for me.
I like how fairly rules-light d6 is and how flexible it is. I like how I've been able to teach people with no prior gaming experience how to play it in less than 5 minutes and how I've had people who normally hate RPG's as being too rule/math intense play it and like it.
FFG going to the trouble of spreading out the rules for things like force users away from the main rules just seems like a patently obvious cash grab, then special dice on top of that? No.
Then hearing that starting force-users are that weak? All in the name of game balance? (Game balance has
very little place in Star Wars, this isn't D&D. Model the setting not the idea that all characters have to be mechanically equal) So I guess a Clone-Wars era game with PC's starting as Padawans is right out. WotC followed that canard of game balance, but they at least set starting characters at the point that a starting force-user could have the basic skill set and equipment of a young Jedi.
I understand that it's got people voting for it now, it's the current game, it's the one that's got hype and "support" and people go to their FLGS and see the shiny new thing on the shelf.
People said the same thing about Saga Edition when it was out, and people said that about the d20 OCR and RCR rules when they were out too.
Me? I'll be fine with my d6 rules, and converting things from the d20/Saga versions back to d6.
Then again, I'm also similarly cynical and uninterested at the Disney reboot of Star Wars, so I'm not one to just jump on something because it's got hype and a marketing blitz behind it. The moment they labelled the Star Wars I'd known and loved for 20+ years as "Legends" and talked about how "Legends" wasn't the real Star Wars (unlike their new stuff), I realized I was probably done buying new Star Wars stuff.
