Capt Solo Packs are a waste of crystals
I used 1299 crystals to buy the Capt Solo pack to help with territory battles. All I got was 7 shards. What a waste. Capt Solo is available in the cantina. I would have been better off using the crystals to buy cantina tickets to play 7-D to get more shards. Catina has around a 50% shard drop rate so I estimate I would have gotten approximately 60 - 65 shards with the same number of crystals. That's not to include cantina credits to get other shards in the cantina store and credits. This is a waste and EA should think about what the floor is for these packs when they offer them.

50% drop rate lololololol
See above... its more likely 30%
But yes everyone knows the 1200 crystal packs that offer 5-330 is for whales only, willing to spend couple hundred dollars to 7* star a character.
Yes. There are all not worth it. Like every 1300 Crystals pack u only get (mostly) 7 Shards.
And you were lucky too on Cantina. I had streaks of 10+ sims without a single shard dropping. My drop rate there felt more like 20% at most.
But well, I still ended up earning my first ROLO shard yesterday, and my crystals stash a lot lighter than it was.
Where did you get that info? You're not confused with 5%?
This. Well researched, plenty of data points.
And yes, the packs are a waste of crystals unless you are a whale and feel like blowing through a vault or two.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

No it doesn't.
Yeah, sorry to the OP that you had to learn this the hard way, but these packs are for whales who hit the energy refresh limit in Cantina and don't mind spending hundreds of dollars a week or more on the game. They are a gamble, not a value.
Except zeta drops. That's usually 0

Since he is mandatory to obtain Hoth Leia, I think this is not random but clear decision to inflict horrible drop rates to all players to make them spend.... but I can live happy without Hoth Ian & Leia...
What I dont get about this, if its true - constantly refreshing cantina costs you (eventually) 200 crystals at a time right? Thats 120 energy so 12 attempts, 3-4 shards on average. So 200 crystals 3-4 shards vs 1300 crystals for 5-7 shards. And lets be honest you're not going to see the 330. If you do you should immediately go out and get those powerball tickets before your luck changes haha
So in other words if I were a whale, I still wouldn't buy them because its much more cost effective to spend an extra 10 seconds to refresh - sim - collect - repeat ad infinitum till I 7 star that character.
Am I right or am I missing something? Like refreshes not being unlimited. Ive never done that many so I dont know. Are there actually any whales out there that do this?
Refreshes aren't unlimited, and they keep increasing in price. It's a matter of time. People who buy the packs do so because they want the character NOW and don't want to wait to farm it over time.
