It would be very easy to play a Galactic Ranger type of game, but would probably be best done with a mix of Edge and AoR careers. The same kind of skillsets that are useful in the military or as a criminal can be useful in law enforcement.
Can be useful, true. But if they were the same, there wouldn't be any.
But I'll just have to wait until AoR releases to actually see what is there.
I hope the PC playable careers are not just all Rebel. In EotE, anything that isn't a criminal is only refered to in NPC write up without skill trees. I hope AoR is written so that you can play Rebellion or Imperial equally well without massive tweaking.
Hopefully the "you are not allowed to play Imperial" trend is just for the initial game and they will be adding the Imperial side for PC's later.
I just imagine the outrage if they release the 3rd game and PC's can only be Jedi, not Sith

It's clearly aimed at Rebels. There is no provision for playing stormtroopers, for example, and the soldier career specialties in the beta aren't good for line impies... Commando, Medic, and sharpshooter.
I honestly don't grasp why people would want to play the impies.
There is likely to be more outrage if F&D includes more than token coverage for playing the sith...
Star Wars is aimed at a wide audience, including a lot of teens. There are still a lot of parents who don't allow D&D for it's "evil influences" and allowances for playing evil characters.
FFG would do far better on the social front to keep the impies to core book 4, rather than in Core Book 2, where it would result in more parents being upset about it.
