Ewoks or Old Ben/Yoda for Commander Luke Skywalker?
Hey guys, I was farming old ben until the faction pass for ewoks, after which I became conflicted about what we would probably need to get luke (my favorite character in Star Wars besides maybe obi-wan, depends on the day honestly). What is everyone else doing? I'm just really frustrated because I want to get luke asap and I don't want to prepare the wrong toons.

The first was more or less the first part of A New Hope. Jawa, Tuskens, and Luke.
What is likely to be the next one?
Well, it's either going to be the space portion of EP IV, or it will be EP V.
Now Jawa weren't exactly Luke's allies at any point in A New Hope so whoever is required could merely be standers by rather than Luke's companions. The only assumption I would make is who it wouldn't be: his enemies.
Now Luke was actually rescued in EP V by Lando, Leia, R2, and C3P0,
At the end of EP IV he was fighting in ships with Han, Biggs, Wedge, and R2.
Old Ben died before Luke got rid of his rifle, so I don't see it requiring him.
Ewoks didn't appear until Return of the Jedi (Jedi Luke, not Rebel Luke), so I don't see it being them.
TLDR; It's not Old Ben or Ewoks, it's some form of Rebels. This is (Rebel) Commander Luke we are going for here. The event to unlock will be an homage to him becoming such.
+1 , I was finding it odd that you would need Ewoks for "Hoth Luke". Hoth Rebel Scout, and Wedge were also both on Hoth.
Perhapes 5star "new luke" is commander luke... 7star is "Jedi Knight Luke" which you would need Ewoks for. It is somewhat Ironic however as Luke never actually fought with the Ewoks.
Your assessment is ok... but an important point to be noticed is that whenever the pushed up a faction pass.. that faction was needed for a character next .. empire for r2, phoenix for thrawn .... Why should they depart from this strategy that got them plenty of money by desperate players who were unprepared? I feel that Ewoks will be required for Luke in some form or the other. Also I feel they will ask you to use farm boy luke too.. since the new ewoks aren't going to be free to play for a while...
Meh, I don't really find it ironic. He is basically the one that forced the Ewoks to Ally with them (though the Ewoks would see it as C-3P0 doing so).
There are only 4 ewoks atm, luke completes the squad...something to think about
Well, I would disagree with 2 of your points:
First is that Phoenix got a faction pass before the Thrawn event. They were released onto the board, not reworked.
Second is that this event will be a legendary event. We are going to unlock Luke through Flash Event style events. They said they would release New Lukes only "through something special". Legendary events are nice and all, but there's a lot of those now. Luke will get something different.
The first Luke event was a flash event and they said it was the first in a "series of events" to unlock new iterations of him. It's going to be a flash event style thing. The way to 7 star him is going to be by logging in often enough to get all the shards you can. Then there will be packs before he ends up getting added to territory battles.
They redid the Ewoks right now because the R2D2 and Wicket character screens got leaked at the same time so they needed to come out relatively close together.
Now, it's entirely possible that their hint is wrong, but in the absence of that, you're talking Luke, Jawas, R2, Tuskens, Obi-Wan, Stormtroopers, Han Solo, Greedo, TFP, Vader, Tarkin, STH, and Leia as characters that were involved in that timeframe.
I thought that time frame was for the first flash event not all of them. Like that event covered the whole time frame you are talking about.
He became a commander after destroying the Death Star... which just so happens to be the very first thing after the time frame you mentioned that was alll covered by the last flash event.
"HERO’S JOURNEY - LUKE SKYWALKER
Step into Luke Skywalker’s shoes and experience his journey from Farm Boy to Rebel Hero!
This is the first event of a new series where you’ll retrace the steps of the iconic hero LUKE SKYWALKER from his humble beginnings on Tatooine through his daring escape from the Galactic Empire’s ultimate weapon.
Completing this event will unlock the next iteration of Luke Skywalker: COMMANDER LUKE SKYWALKER."
That lengthened list of characters to farm is a bit untenable.
The majority of that was copy/pasted from the first Luke flash event. The only thing that is new is the part I bolded.
That's actually kind of obvious if you think about it. This isn't the first event... it's the second.
They really should have written a whole new description for this event so it wasn't misleading people like this.
"You’ve all been waiting and it’s finally begun. It’s time to prepare for the Hero's Journey! Use these gifts to help Luke prepare for his Hero's Journey as he embarks on the path to become a member of the forgotten Jedi Order.
Where is this journey leading? And what’s in store? We’ll find out more in August."
You can see that the Tatooine -> escape from Death Star is only stated right at the time that they talk about unlocking CLS.
No, the current description was copy/pasted from the first Luke flash event. What you just showed there was the letter that came with our free gift of Luke Shards, gear, etc.
Again, this should be obvious since this is the 2nd event, and the description says the 1st event covers from the start of a new hope until the escape from the death star...
Okay, well that event is already over. So this second event must come from afterwards. The time frame we are looking at is the tail end of A New Hope, and some/all of ESB. Maybe they'll even skip ahead to use Ewoks for RoTJ. but I hope that ESB and RotJ each have their own iteration of Luke.
1. In the comics (set between ANH and ESB) Luke is referred to as commander Luke Skywalker, whilst wearing his yellow jacket costume from the end of ANH
2. Why are they called 'Hoth Han' and 'Hoth Leia' but not 'Hoth Luke'?
If this is really being dragged out, which I think it is, there is a log period of time before ESB which is unaccounted for in the films, so expect the unexpected.
In regard to farming, I've got Luke level 85 7 stars and enough gear sitting around to get him to 10 if needed. From the original heroes journey post, it seems pretty clear that he will be needed, but as for who with? I wouldn't be surprised if it was just Luke required, but farming those relevant to him in the films would probably be the best idea. That being said, the timing of the ewoks is very suspicious...
"NEW! Trouble on Tatooine Flash Event
Our first Flash Event Begins MAY 25th and takes you to the harsh desert planet of Tatooine. This lawless world holds many dangers and mysteries, especially for moisture farmers. To participate in this multi-tiered event, task Luke Skywalker with inspecting the perimeter of the farm as you join forces with Jawas to square off against marauding Tusken Raiders."
And the actual text of the event was:
"Tatooine holds many dangers and mysteries. Check the perimeter of the farm and surrounding regions with LUKE SKYWALKER and ensure everything is safe."
Lol, no. The first event is basically a prequel to the events of ANH, it didn't even get us to Obi-Wan, let alone off Tatooine and onto the Death Star. It's more than obvious that the Trouble on Tatooine event was basically a test of the flash event system, and that the real hero's journey has yet to begin. In that sense, we still haven't had the real first event of the series.
And now you're just being ridiculous. Commander Luke is ESB Luke. There's no way that they'd use Ewoks from RotJ to unlock ESB Luke.
