No you won't need specific toons to unlock Commander Luke

I see people are freaking out speculating that you'll need ST Han, or Leia in a team to battle ComLuke's event. Or because R2 is coming back omg you'll need him or be locked out. No event has ever worked like that. Every event has been faction based, not character based. The one deviation is including Uggy in the Separatist event and he was an extra to the already two factions you could use.
The devs could never quell the amount of rage that would present itself if they said "Well it's a tatooine escape so you'll need to have a 7 star raid Han, Old Ben, Chewbacca, Luke, and R2 for this". That would be game suicide. In fact I'll make you this promise. If the devs lock a toon behind character-specific teams (not factions) offering packs to level those characters up last minute I'll quit the game and never look back. I understand them giving us ewok packs because it takes the entire faction. Or Phoenix team for Thrawn because again, it's an entire faction. But you will never see the devs lock someone behind characters spread out within a faction that people may it may not have. Screenshot this post if you must. I have faith they'll make the right call and say "rebels and jawas" or something that's Tatooine/death star based.

Secondly, people can guess, and maybe to get a 7* Luke or to get extra shards on territory battles you'll need 7* raid han and 7* r2, why not?? Would be like the new treat to people with deep rosters and still not leave out newbies.
By the way I am on the boat of people that think Luke will have something to do with territory battles and it's gonna be a long boring farm, because they stated again that we will need ALL of our roster for TB, sooo, isn't r2 in our rosters????
Please open your eyes.
Ridiculous thread.
Except we know luke gets unlocked through the heroes journey event which is different from TB? I dont understand your thought process on that one.
Reality check -- newbies don't have raid Han or 7* r2. I think you are going to be disappointed.
And you end it by saying specific toons will be needed to unlock Commander Luke.
Disappointed about what???
I am more than ready for whatever comes next, actually really short on GW tokens as in getting all my ships to 7*, but the rest, have over 12k saved and ready to max out 6 toons in 2 weeks, maybe 3.... I have a 7* r2 and a 6* Thrawn, I'll be disappointed if Luke is attainable at any star with say rebels, or empire, or sith, so it will be nothing special
Ps: I even own a 7* kenobi ^_^
It's the old bait & switch.
Phoenix won't be a faction until they get generic pilot/trooper etc.

Sooo you're saying Sith weren't a faction until SAss and SiT were released?
Does that also mean Bounty Hunters aren't a faction?
Are you saying Ugnaught isn't a faction???
I believe you guys need to brush up on the difference between "characters" and "factions".
How could you insult the mighty Ugnaught???
If they use your thinking. Say good by to new people. It can be a happy medium. Look at a game like Eve online. Based on mostly time spent They have a player base that never grows. While a game like world of Warcraft allowed new people to get in at the beginning of every expansion. I am not saying that has to be true for this game. But I think this games current state swings heavily toward the Eve side already. Throwing a bone to new players isn't going to be the end of the world. I am sure your EPeen will still be mighty.
I'll promise you that people will keep playing even if you'll need 7 star raid Han, Old Ben, Chewbacca, Luke, and R2 for this to unlock 7 star commander luke. Any long term player has those characters already and they're not.that hard to get.
I think new players shouldn't get Commander Luke, I'm fine if he is unlocked using specific characters
Sorry for my English :]
I'm gonna book mark this one and coming back to it at a later date.
Its very possible that named characters can be used because its been hinted heavily. The game has to evolve at some point as it cannot keep using faction characters.
If your gonna quit and leave the game over a character needing characters that are geniune to this actual story, then you might as well pack your backs now lol.
Still packing?
WoW has terrible player retention rates and can only make money by selling overhyped expansion packs which people get bored of after a month. Your example is terrible and destroys the point you are trying to make.
But I do think you're going to need Farmboy Luke in some capacity. I base this hunch on them giving a free Luke unlock in June (May? Was it for 4 May?) and making him the August login character.
I think a specific squad will be used for the event, but that they will be Event Units, so you won't need them unlocked or geared.
Fully agree. Fyi Luke was given for the 40th anniversary on May 25
I forgot the Flash Event, too. It's another way to incentivize players into working on Luke before whatever the event is.
Farmer Luke, Raid Han, Leia, R2, Old Ben, Stormtrooper Han - these are also 6... and be sure: you will need Farmer Luke, otherwise all this "Hero's journey" does not make any sense.
They want people to level/star/gear characters which are uncommon - Old Ben is rather uncommon these days... I'm sure we will also see other events where we will need CUP, Mob Enforcer, the Night Sisters, Gamorrean Guard, Zam Wesell, the Geonosians, Pao, Bodhi, the Tuskans...
