Okay, so while waiting for mappack 2, I redownloaded mappack 1 and gave it another shot, but this time with a different approach.

Back when these maps were intially released separately, I treated them as extensions of the official game (with your Sound Adjustment Mod installed). When I redownloaded mappack 1, I decided to think of it as something of a LITE version of SWBF3 (pretty much what Elite Squadron was), adjusted to work within the constraints of SWBF1. I think that this approach was much better and made me appreciate these maps much more.

As for my current opinion on Pack #1, I really liked it. The maps themselves were still really good, and the new heroes added a lot of charm. The only issues I had were: 1) the size of Rebels' DH-17 blasters - I felt that they were really huge (their length is comparable to Rebels' torsos, which feels a little bit odd).
2) I noticed a small bug - the white part of Yoda's lightsaber was black for some reason.

Pack #2 is the new stuff, and oh boy, was it worth the wait. These maps are really amazing, and I think I like those iterations of Mustafar and Death Star much better than the ones from SWBF2. Really cool stuff. The Coruscant map is awesome and I hope that it will also get a SWBF2 conversion. When it comes to Vjun, it was among my favourite conversions by Teancum, so it was great to see it here. All in all, great choice of maps.

One thing which I started to appreciate more are the sides. I really like the new models and changes to the classes. Heavy troopers are really fun to play as now, and I love how CIS have both a standard B1 Battle Droid rifleman and a B2 Super Battle Droid. Otherwise, the sides seem pretty similar to your Unoffcial Patch sides, but a part of me wishes that we could get a side mod which would blend in with the sides included here (both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay).

Overall, great job. I'll be waiting for Pack #3, but the amount of content included here is already impressive and it enriches the good old SWBF1 nicely.

Stupid question, but is there any way to convert these maps (especially the coruscant federal district) to Battlefront 2?
