I'm going to be GMing a game with players 100% new to RPGs (including myself as GM) in a few months, but we're getting things organized so we're ready to go. My question is, would it break the game if I were to just let each PC pick their own Belief/Connection/Quest without rolling d10? I'm wanting this to lean more on the narrative and fun than following the rules, just didn't know as a new GM if this would change things negatively more than positively.
Establishing Beliefs, Connections, and Quests for Noobs
It wouldn't break it at all. In fact, it's built in as a possibility. From page 105 of the Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook:
QuoteTYPES OF MOTIVATION
There are three types of Motivations in AGE OF REBELLION: Belief, Connection, and Quest. Whether a player rolled a result randomly or selected the type, he needs to narrow the type down to a specific result. In most cases, rolling percentile dice on the appropriate chart is the way to go. However, some Game Masters might want to permit their players to choose specific Motivations to best suit their characters' backgrounds.
Personally, I've never had my players randomize their motivations. They usually have ideas for their characters and that randomization more often than not doesn't gel with those ideas.

Perfect, thank you! Yeah, randomizing it just really seems to be a weird step unless you're really going for just an off-the-wall game. I appreciate the quick response, I have a pretty good feeling I'll be keeping all you experienced players busy with questions over the next few months 
Glad to help. Everyone else is, too. There's a good group here, and lots of Certain Points of View. 
Personally, I'd only have players roll on those charts if they couldn't come up with something themselves.
