630 with no guides here. Very fun.
Absolutely. I love the platforming areas after the story is over.

Is anyone getting the Battlefront 2 Deluxe Edition? Is it worth it?

I haven't even looked to see what is included. I'll just wait for the standard game.

Nah, all the special editions for this game are just including lame stuff like outfits and emotes. I believe that the pre-order of any edition gets you some unique star cards (abilities), but the more I'm reading the more it sounds like their star card and hero system are a major cash grab. I was upset about this for a few minutes, but I'll just accept that this game will be good for some pewpewing with friends, while Battlefield 1 will continue to be my deep strategy FPS.

I have a feeling they will tone down the amount of time it takes to unlock a hero. The feedback for the system has been universally negative.

They just announced they are lowering the "cost" of heroes by 75%.

They were just seeing what they could get away with it. Gamers weren't having it.

Yeah, it's interesting, it's almost just like they're doing beta marketing research for 10 iterations of Star Wars games.

Sadly more and more games are going in this direction.

I'm just waiting to see what PS Store rolls out for deals this week (they should be up by now, but they're not). Otherwise I'll just pre-purchase the DL of this tomorrow so I can play a bit this weekend before going to Seattle for 10 days.
