Hi! I'm very new to SWGoH (2-3 weeks or so playing it) and I find it really amusing! Well, I started farming Luke's shards in the Cantina battle 1-B and was able to unlock him. I was also farming Sidious shards so that I could have a team synergy, since Sid's leader ability really benefits Luke. But I don't seem people really valuing late Luke. I'm a F2P player that is currently level 44. I'm trying to decide between farming Luke shards to get him to 7* or farming JC shards, as he is regarded as one of the best healers late into the game. What is the best strategy? Long term it seems to me that JC is better, but since I'm currently not able to get past rank 200 in arena long might provide me with an extra immediate boost. Any sort of general help would be very valuable, as I want to really progress into the game! All characters I currently have:

I did the same thing as you when I started and I farmed Luke Skywalker immediately because he was cool but I never use him anymore. I would recommend Geonosian Soldier out of cantina shipments if you are worried about Arena only. GS does more damage than Luke and his secondary attack can be used every other turn.
As mentioned above, GS is generally the better damage dealer. At times I wish I had him instead, but my team works quite well, and I actually think his leader ability might make him viable for my next team... A tenacity build starring Luke(lead), Poe, Rey, QGJ, and Lumi
I'd recommend JC to 7* over Luke. He's not that much weaker in PVP and will help you clear GW everyday to farm Lumi, Poggle, Phasma, etc. as a f2p player, this will be the most important area to farm for you, since it's the fastest you can get characters and there are at least 4 that you can start in PVP from that area Lumi, Poggle, Phasma and 86. Resistance pilot is also pretty good
But regarding Luke, ackbar would give Luke speed boost, not sure if enough to go in round one but possibly and may make him useful again, team with Holth rebel scout and maybe even solider and if they ever put Leia in play it could potentially be quite powerful
