Im looking forward to playing it. It looks like a much better game then Eclipse. At least for me. But Ive only played Eclipse once and never played Twilight.

You definitely won't be alone in liking it more. If it had the play time of Eclipse, the hype for Eclipse would be way down. Again, I just don't see it getting played on my end. I have Eclipse; my friend has Starcraft. We play casually enough to where due to certain circumstances a game of Starcraft took 11 hours to play the last time. TI3 would be a weekend type of game in that situation. I even proposed rule changes to help speed things along. I had hopes of playing three games that day, and we played one.
