I got the starter set as well, unsure if I was going to be doing any of that for FFG. I ended up doing a game of Edge of Empire, which is my second favorite of the 3 books out now. Force and Destiny is still my favorite.
I ran it with some friends, but I always feel like when I run books I end up reading from the book too much. For GenCon I read through the adventure and wrote out all my own notes so I could do it on the fly.
If I were to run the starter adventure again it would be fun to get a little more free-form with it now that I know the structure well enough.
