All jokes aside, the game does look like it offers a very exciting multiplayer experience. In particular, the ability to lead your squadron through a variety of strategies (stealthy espionage or quick airships with high-speed maneuvers) reminded many of your typical MOBA or classed based team-game.

Consider me excited about the prospect of Star Wars esports. The games single-player mode also seems to feature a rich story that will prepare you for real PvP combat. The AI opponents in Squadrons are likely extremely tough if the player desires that challenge, as there is really no other way to prepare your self for whatever 5 vs. 5 Star Wars space combat is like.
