Curious about one thing, not sure about making a character yet, but how much extra knowledge about star wars do you need, outside of the movies and playing through a few Edge of the Empire campaigns, that's as far as my knowledge extends. Are you expecting your players to have book knowledge, or would it be pretty accessible. I know there's a good bit of extra info out there, with the series spanning books, comics, games, and television as well as the movies.

Well, at the bare minimum seeing all six of the movies is enough. It does help as a GM if you have more knowledge on the universe than just the movies. But we're not going to be bringing up obscure characters or factions in this really, what I have planned is pretty contained. 

It's pretty accessible I'd say, and anything you don't know you can look up on Wookiepedia. You should do just fine with what you know.
