Thanks for the kind words, although I'm honestly not trying really hard with these design ideas. Once all the rules are released (in english) and what not, and I have a sense for balance, I may try writing up an indepth Army In A Box Faction idea.
'Army In A Box' Sub-Factions

Just imagine it now
JAWAS
100% Joking here, but if they did to Jawas, I assume they'd be heavily focused on random droid squads that can be repaired and upgraded throughout a match with jawas.)
Commander : Jawa Chief
Corps: Jawas
Special Units: A Squad Of Droids. ( like, a 3 man squad of droids made up of different options with different roles)
Support: A Big Droid (Not being super descriptive with these cause I'm not sure the kind of droids that would be here)
Heavy: Sand Crawler
EDIT: Honestly, I was thinking having the two droid units as 'build-a-droid' squads (sorta like cobbled together junk and what not) would be neat, with biggish model kits to be built in various ways
Not to burst your bubble but, I’m pretty sure that the sandcrawler is huge, like at-at size.

It's smaller, although it is huge, and besides, just a joking idea

Just a joke? I think the idea for droids was great. You could customise them to add so much character to your army

Oh thanks. I don't usually try designing for things that aren't CCGs, so I was only writing general ideas down
Anyways, back to Jawas, I think if I were to make them, on a serious note.
JAWAS
You'd have your Jawas to well, run the place, and be general utility, and this would essentially be the 'Build-A-Droid Workshop' army.
Commander
Jawa Chief:
I'd make this a very large 'utility' themed commander. Maybe have the Chief be really good at repairing & upgrading your Droid units.
Corps
Jawas:
A utility unit with nice ranged weapons. I'd make them a 4 Jawa Squad with the ability to take up to 2 more models, and the choices would be a variety of different Droid options for the squad. They'd also be good at repairing droids.
Special Forces
Droids:
A 3-Droid squad, however, you'd pick between a variety of different droid cards to make up the squad. They could be kitted out for long-ranged purposes, melee purposes, 'utility' purposes, etc, etc, and you could mix and match them as you see fit.
Support
Large Droid:
A single large droid, that would come bare-bones, but you'd pick between 2 main bodies, a Melee oriented one or a Ranged oriented one. From there, they'd have separate upgrades that could be taken for that body, so it'd sorta be a 'Build-a-Droid' workshop.
Heavy
Realistically there's nothing you could do here besides a Sandcrawler, although if you wanted to stick with the build-a-droid theme, you COULD do something like a Very Large Droid that you make.

Sandcrawlers are actually way bigger than AT-ATs, at nearly twice the length (40m to an AT-AT's 22m). Unless the internet is lying to me, but that'd totally shatter my worldview so lets not go there.
I would love one as an actual game table, with multiple levels to fight through!

Woah, I didn't realize. Anyways, as a game table,that'd be SWEET (or like, have it in the center of a desert board and make it a 'king of the hill' type game mode)
It's on my list of "things i want to do that i might one day have time to consider" for sure. I don't think it'd even be THAT hard, not really. Just....huge.
GUNGAN GRAND ARMY
I doubt we'll see Gungans even if they did Army-In-A-Box factions, but here's my idea. I'd probably have them really defensive, utilizing shields and what not. Also, it's just fun to speculate.
Commander
: General Tarpals, Boss Nass, Gungan Captain
Corps:
Gungan Troops
Special Forces:
N/A
Support:
Kaadu Riders
Heavy:
Fambaa Shield Generator

No General Jar Jar? How can you leave him out?
The Special Forces could be Gungan Catapults. It wouldn't be much of a Gungan army without boomas.

I didn't even think about that, that's a good idea. That said, I think you know why I left out Jar Jar, giving gungans a bad name
Jar jar Binks:.
Point cost: -20
Once per turn the dark side player adds a suppression token to light side unit within range 1 of jar jar
