This (the Star Wars Gang) is a great idea. I'm going to invite all the kids in my neighborhood to join one. We will use the Force, instead of bricks, to smash in peoples' windows!
There are a few crafted dyes. You'll also be able to buy appearance options, Cathar, name changes, etc. on the GTN once their cooldown timers expire. But yes, it's mostly a CM update. Wait 4 more weeks for the next normal content update.
I'd recommend looking on the GTN--you can probably find the Title there for fairly cheap, and pay credits for it. If you want more credits, try selling an unopened (and unbound) pack on the GTN.
