Star Wars X-Com? Perfect, just don't make it something it doesn't need to be.

The big question is, will it be more like X-Com or JA, or like my favorite Mutant-Duck?

There are a lot of "single player turned based, tactical games" from the old Fallout-Style over many (sometimes totally different and great/bad) iterations of JA, Commandos and WH40k games to X-Com and Mutant YZ ..... some great, some not so great for a star-wars game....

so it's going to be interesting what path they chose. With "base building" (x-com style / old JA style) or any of the other many possibilities with "inventory only, mission based load out" (without bigger "consequenzes" for the map / etc.). Could be good, could turn out bad. High chance for both (and highly depends on personal preference. I really enjoyed Mutang YZ and the old Fallout and JA games a bit more, but a lot of people prefer the modern JA games or the wh40k Space-Hulk / Mechanicum / Rouge Trader style, which I don't not like, but not as much as the other options )
