Everything I've heard about it is quite tragic, especially the recent accusations about the loot crates essentially being a gamble. Disney seems quite concerned for the new movie as a result of how badly the game was received. Will also be waiting to see if it's worth getting in the future, but not looking likely.
I did manage to get an online server up for the classic SWBF2 with a friend, but we were connected to the same network so don't know whether the lag issues are fixed or just avoided, and occasionally (not often though) it shut down midgame. Still fun to jump back to the old game though - my friend enjoyed playing that much more than the new one
