Any advantage to having multiple core set of SW LCG?

yes. this question has been asked to death. The core set comes with a single set of each objective, you are allowed 2 of each objective set per deck. If you want to play competatively at all, even in local shops you NEED 2 core sets or you will lose most of your games. i'm sure you don't need an explanation as to why having 2 vaders or palpatines in your deck is better than having a single copy. The only reason not to grab the second core set is if you only plan on playing your friends with the single core sets cards. otherwise its a must have. the same will go for the edge of darkness deluxe expansion, because for some reason they are only putting a single copy of each objective set in it as well. prolly a cash grab, but it is what it is. the force packs however come with 2 of each set for deck building reasons, unless they are a limited to 1 set per deck objective set, then you only get the one.

You'll definitely want 2 if you're going to play competitively or are a completionist (as that gives you full playsets of every objective set). You can certainly play the game with only 1, but you might decide you want a deck with 2 copies of Emperor Palpatine or Luke eventually.
You'll never need a 3rd unless you really want to build several decks at the same time.

Well it did not turn up when I ran mutiple forum searches. As a new(ish) player, I thought it reasonable to ask my question here. Seems you were somehow offended (not sure why) - not everyone has read every thread, or even has time to do so.

Thank you for this part of your answer - it was very helpful.
I also use cardgameDB, and boardgamegeek forums, here is a thead from BGG that has a compilation of these threads.

its basically what i have said though. if you enjoy building decks and playing even semi competative get a second core set, and 2 edge of darknesses when they drop, but if your new to the game you may want to hold off and just see if you even want to invest more into it and if there is a play group near you. i have somewhat of an issue finding people to play. I had to get my nephew and buddy both into it and there is only a smallish group about 40 minutes from me, but its also a new game that is gaining inpopularity so i fully expect that to change somewhat over the next year.
