The concept art and a lot of the ideas were good, but George Lucas's ideas when he started getting involved... no.

Rightfully so.
If your PVE set is of a higher item-level than the usual PVP sets, the expertise bonus (bolster) in PVP doesn't work. As a result, you hit other players for less damage / do less healing and receive much higher crits from other players. So entering PVP with your PVE gear is crippling your team quite a lot.

Now I need to get into the PT novels like Medstar, Cloak of Deception, and finish the Clone wars series. I can't say I'm too excited for the canon novels though, seeing the tepid reception of Aftermath and how it doesn't connect with the main characters. You'd figure with all this buzz for the Force Awakens, we'd have a novel or main arc for Luke and how he grew in terms of his knowledge of the force. Instead we get a stream of odd choices ranging from late-released TCW novels, and nothing really seems to have reached the highpoints of the old EU works. I do have high hopes for the 2nd season of Rebels though!

The Legends PT era books are by far the best. Cloak of Deception, Shatterpoint, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. That's a triple threat you can't top, rivaled only by Star By Star, Traitor, and The Unifying Force from NJO.

"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
Yes. We typically discourage it but if someone is very serious about it, they go through a process. First, one has to meet the Rabbi in the community he or she wants to live. Then, they have to move into that community and participate fully with the orthodox synagogue for a number of years. During that time, they learn with the rabbi and the rabbi reports it to the Beit Din who monitor the activities.
Long story short, you're looking at 2-3 years of conversion, followed by having to live an orthodox lifestyle for the rest of your life, or the conversion is void. Yes, converts have more requirements to be orthodox than those born Jewish.
