I know basically nothing about this game but I'm completely burned out on the Ubisoft open world model of a huge map completely littered with mindless collectible junk and grindy side-quests. Is there reason to hope that this will be different than the same junk Assassin's Creed and Far Cry have been pushing out, or are most expecting the same thing in a Star Wars setting?
I'm certain a year or two so they talked about how they had started to amalgamate features from their games across the board and how is stifled in house creativity (I've got no source on this at the moment but I'm sure i remember this) and how they're going to be starting to move away from that.
If this is true then this is likely one of the first games to try and move away from that stone this would likely have been started after that was said.
I suppose I'll believe it when I see it. Thanks for the context though!

Tl;dr: they restructured their editorial team in an effort to make their games more unique to one another.
I'm skeptical, but not enough to write it off completely just yet. Definitely skeptical enough to not preorder, though.
You should never preorder games anyway, you should always wait for actual customer reviews to back up what the big reviewers say
