Okay a few points I'd like to make after some reactions.
1. I don't play competitively (but I have a decent understanding of the Competitive game).
2. I think in light of some of the comments, everyone has brought up some great points. Rob did say the Jedi would be getting some love in this set (I think I read that somewhere) so that's a good thing
3. I can't help my reaction here. I know I should be totally thrilled and excited about this new Vader but I honestly can't bring anything but anxiety really. I wonder in my head right now....
"Has the game passed a Fool like me by?"
I wonder if FU is the set that ends my collection of SWM and brings this to the end of the precipice. I honestly don't know, without seeing the rest of the set but as of right now I'm sceptical on the Huges and I really look at Vader's abilities and think he's pretty unstoppable. Bigger, more complex maps actually make him better (Force Renewal) and combined with the Emperor he's going to be a beast - Especially with his High D and HP.
So having said alll this - all the competive players (Nick, Dragon, Xanthan) have probably the best perspectives on this but if I look at his stats and Force Powers right now this guy is jaw dropping in my opinion and sees the biggest Meta change period in the history of the game IMO.
Edit- I agree I was hoping for some good Synergy with Vader/Apprentice - that's another balll drop IMO

Well only you can answer that but i would wait untill you have seen all character stats and play tested them before you make that dission.
You say you do not play tournaments well neither do i, I honestly do not think that matters and besides friendly games are more fun anyway IMO.
As you now have this characters stats you can play test him against others similar characters BOBA BH, EXAR KUN, YODA, see how it go's. But remember that the rebels have some good characters this set as well still to come.
At the end of the day i suppose we all have characters we do not like i guess this is yours.
