I am posting a list of key toons, and a summary of the requirements needed to get them, but I would really like some help in completing this list. 
Some of this is available at swgoh.gg under events, but not all of it. Please add to the list what I have missed. Thanks!
Jedi Training Rey
- you need Scavenger Rey, Finn, BB-8, Veteran Han, and Veteran Chewbacca, all at 7*
CLS
- you need Old Ben, Farmboy Luke, Princess Leia, Stormtrooper Han, and R2, all at 7*
R2-D2
5, 5-7* Empire (like Palpatine Vader Tarkin RG TFP), Lvl 82+, G8+
BB8
5, 5-7* First Order, Lvl 82+, G8+
THRAWN
5, Pheonix toons. Need 5* Pheonix to get 5* Thrawn; 7, for 7 Thrawn. Lvl 85, G8+. Recommended: Hera Ezra Zeb Kanan Chopper, with decent speed/mods and uniques/Hera Leadership omegas.
CHIMAERA
5*-7* ships of the following (to obtain a 5*-7* Chimaera): Home One, both Pheonix Ships (Ghost, Phantom) and 1 or more other rebel ships (use to require 3 more rebel ships).
PALPATINE
5, 5-7* Rebels. Lvl 80+, G7+
GMYODA
5, 5-7* Jedi. Lvl 82+, G8+
ROLO
Shards obtained from special mission in LS TB phase 3. Requires Capt Han & HRSoldier at 5*
CAPT HAN
Single Cantina node only.
IPD
Shards obtained using a team of 5* imperial troopers, including Starck, in the special mission in DS TB phase 3 (the dark side equivalent to ROLO).
STARK
Currently only available from the Guild Store.
HYoda
Guild Event Store & rewards from some Achievements.
WAMPA
Guild Event Store.
Also rewarded during a special event, which has run twice, and requires bounty hunters.
Not rewarded from DS TB.
SION
Shards found at Ship & Normal energy hard nodes.
RAID HAN SOLO/ GENERAL KENOBI/ TRAYA
Some shards rewarded each time a Heroic Rancor/ AAT/ Sith Raid is beaten.
NEST
Not currently farmable. Available from packs.
Also:
MOD CHALLENGES
You need 3, 3+* toons to obtain the 3* mods (tier 1), 4, 4+* toons for 4* mods (tier 2), and 5, 5* toons for 5* mods (tier 3).
Working to access the tier 3 challenges (5* mods) can get you part way towards being ready for certain legendary events. Example, Defense mods & the GMYoda event both require Jedi toons.
The type of toons you need to use depends on the mod type you want, as follows:
Health - Any
Defense - Jedi (event: GMYoda)
Critical Dmg - Jawa
Critical Hit - Scoundrels (event: Credit Heist; possibly useful for JTR)
Tenacity - Rebels (event: PALPATINE; possibly THRAWN or CLS)
Offense - First Order (event: BB8)
Potency - Empire (event: R2-D2)
Speed - Resistance (event: sorta useful for JTR)

*BOLD Are Hero's Journey Quests. They only unlock at 7* and thus require 7* toons to complete.
All other toons/ships (Legendary Quests) unlock at 5*, and thus only need 5* toons to complete the unlocking phase of the quest; 7* toons/ships required to get 7* version of legendary toons/ships.
*Special thanks to Waqui, and Kilum, for what i had so far, and everyone else that comments with stuff I have missed. But I might stop with this (barring any errors), as the rabbit hole is deep and I don't want to fall in.

Legendary characters unlock at 5* and hence don't require characters at 7* as you claim. 7* is only required to promote them to 7*. (Hero characters, however, unlock at 7* only).
Since you listed CHS, you may also want to add Starck (guild store).
You're most welcome :—)
Legendary (unlock at 5* - 7*)
Thrawn
R2
Chimera
BB8
Yoda
Hero J. (unlock at 7*)
CLS
JTR

Its nice to just have everything compiled together and know whether you are prepared for newer players.
CLS and RJT are the Heroes journey toons.
The teams these key toons might be used in.
Locations in game where they are most useful. (This one is big as a new player may be looking for a specific path)
In reference to chimera - the toons needed for those ships
May help
Note, I have updated my original post with all the additional information I got (and a bit more) but wanted to keep it concise. If you want more details on some of the events/toons check out Fizz's post above.
Cheers.
