I don't think they'll add multiple Luke's at all. I think the current Luke will transform into empire Luke then Jedi Luke and finally TLJ Luke. We are supposed to be training him right? Why would they add another one when this is Luke we are training.
When the next event starts, (August?), He will transform to empire to continue his training.

There is no precident in the game for this mechanism. I could see them requiring the current iteration of Luke as a requisite for the next event(hence the "get him trained up"), but I doubt they will ever go full on Pokemon where we are evolving characters. If this is the path that they are intending, it wouldn't make any sense for CG to continue releasing multiple versions of a given character. If they wanted to turn it into Pokemon, why would they release fulcrum ahsoka, not just evolve the current in game version? Even with the argument that luke is the iconic "hero's journey" character in the universe, why not do the same with JKA into Vader? CG would have an avalanche of complaints that they removed a given character(even if said character had no current in-game role) that people had spent time and money leveling.
Good points but those characters are drastically different time periods and they're all viable. Farmer Luke is not viable and his time frame is a few years, not like 20+ years. The closest arguement you can make is the two Han Solo toons but both of those are viable.
That is not necessarily true...not to belabor the point but Jka into Vader would not have had to be a 20+ year stretch. It is not really indicated to which time period Vader is mapped to. We only assume that it is OT Vader. Maybe the reason he hits like a wet noodle on his basic is because he is secretly prequel Vader just after mustafar and isn't used to his suit yet. ;P
But honestly...if there was any toon that would be a candidate for "evolve" it would be jka into Vader. To your other point...when has CG really put "viability" at the forefront? There is a strong habit in this game of release toon "A" with a neat kit, then release 5 toons a week later that totally invalidate toon "A's" neat kit.
I still think it will be more likely that we see multiple versions, but I digress.
I hear ya, but they've been reworking toons like crazy. Transforming him is s rework, only different thing being his skin also changing.
Hoping its more of a simply "Jedi Luke" rather than ROTJ luke, as in a version of luke from ROTJ to the point before the force awakens when he is a grand master.

It happened once & she kissed him.
