Ok, so I haven't bought any Republic or Seperatist products yet. I have absorbed through internet osmosis that a purple action requires a force charge to use, but I am still fuzzy on whether this is a bonus action, or a regular action, and there is no way for me to find out the official ruling, since I don't have any of the products with the rules in them.
Yeah, the slow online rules updates are really annoying. Purple action is a regular action, with the added penalty of costing a force. The devs said in one of the live streams it is for balancing based on playtesting the Aethersprite with a white evade, which was crazy good.
I am made a blog summarizing all the new rules, including pictures of the rules inserts https://nathanxwing.home.blog/2019/03/21/dont-stress-over-strain-and-other-new-rules/

This was theoretically going to be fixed with the online rules reference and the ability to update it with new rules as they come out.
Like many things for 2.0, FFG has dropped the ball and not even made an announcement that they're aware that this is a problem.
The new rules have also been added to the 2nd edition wiki (copied straight from the rules inserts):
Remotes (both Buzz Droid Swarms and the DRK-1 Probe Droid)
Spare Parts (spoiler: it's a debris cloud. it is deployed via Spare Parts Canisters. That's the extent of it)
