For those who did not know, FFG put out a beta for their Star Wars: Age of Rebellion. I believe that some sort of beta would help ease the transition from the CCG to the LCG, but also enable FFG to receive a huge amount of feedback on the product prior to the final release. A beta would also certainly help with the two year wait time and could generate a huge amount of buzz and excitement.
Much like Age of Rebellion, I'd even pay money for the beta. Provided there some sort of physical product.
