I feel that they do this to some extent with the starter sets that they've released. You get enough figs to at least play with and start it off. Clearly, a game like this needs a way for new players to start. I thought the battle of hoth was excellent in that regard (though a little pricey). It gave a really good start to two factions, good figs, unique figs, and the extra booster could start the addiction.
I'd be all for multiple "starter sets" instead of just one. Say, a rebublic vs sep, NR vs Sith and Rebs vs imps.
I agree greatly with Solodan. Mutliple starters each containing different factions, would be a great idea. The option to start out with more than just Imperials of Rebels, would attract more player. These starter sets would attract players that started watching The Prequel Trilogy first, or read the KotOR or Legacy comic books, or played the video games. These sets would allow these people to start with the miniatures they have been: watching, reading about, or playing in video games. This would save the people the time, and money of buying and trading miniature until they got a good collection of characters from their desired factions. These sets, would also help by getting more experienced players army builders and other uniques they want.
