Galactic War - Impossible
I'm level 44 and in every Galactic War so far I've gone up against a squad that's 20-30 levels above mine. How am I supposed to compete against that? The matchmaking needs to be addressed if the squads I'm facing not only have gear 7+ but mods and three ability levels on me too. The farthest I've gotten is the 8th node. I'm all up for a good challenge, but not the impossible.

Don't expect to finish TB every day. Until you have a diverse roster (which you won't have until at high levels) you may meet opponents for which you have no counters.
Pretty sure I only managed the number of completed ones after I was 85 and with a few reasonable teams. One way is to use your B or even C team to weaken an opponent prior to using your A team.
Chill, dude. Next time please have another cup of coffee instead of barfing all over these forums. Still, this is how it is - and this is how it's intended:
If you believe, your opponent is way off and a mismatch, the least you could do is to post a screen shot of the opponent team (showing it's GP) and a screenshot showing your top-5 strongest GP characters of your roster. No, teams are not matched by GP, but by stat power, but still it will give people a fair estimate of the match.
Also note on GW: GW doesn't care about team synergy. Phoenix with the same GP as JC lead noob chars makes no difference to the algorithm.
To get a good idea of what you should be facing, check the power of your top 5 characters. That will give you a number that your GW opponents are roughly based off. Battle 1 is 50% or so of that number. Battle 12 is 115% or so of that number. How the opponents characters get there is random. Sometimes they will have superior stars but weak gear, other times stronger gear and lower stars. Sometimes it's raw levels but again weaker gear.
Everyone who is starting the game goes through this problem.
If it helps, now it is much better, since to simulate it required 150 complete wars until the last node, today they are only 50
With a year of gameplay you will already have all the characters and you will only be able to buy ships of the war.
I know it's frustrating, and I've already complained about that kind of thing in the game, but the priorities of a low level player are different. Forget the galactic war and focus on the other tips I leave.
1) Find an active guild. Finding a guild generating tickets to Rancor and HAAT will give you another level of prizes for you. Accelerate the first 7 stars (probably the Zeb) and start to get better prizes. if you make the 600 per day, it will not be difficult to find a guild willing to accept you even low level, searching in facebook groups is easy.
2) Find allies to close 3 stars to the table, ask alliance codes, and abuse 85 characters with area damage and preferably good leadership, like Wedge, Assaj, Veers and etc. Again the fórum and facebook can help you in this.
3) First and most obvious team that needs to be reached is the Phoenix, for reasons thoroughly handled by various guides and youtubers. The second team is not as obvious and has switched from the old videos to 2019, but bounty hunters (Boba, Dengar, Cad, Bossk and IG-88) as well as the Phoenix have several goals, including another problem you may already be experiencing which is the lack of credits, since as they also have the tag scoundrel, they make the event of credit theft, are necessary for the Rebel chewi event and the ships for the OT Millenium Falcon event. Although the Bossk is at 9B Dark (level 85 only) and his ship at the far end 8D of the light side (and Jango and good equipment comes from toast). Spend energy and be calm.
4) Spend crystals with yellow energy, already the experience will greatly help you to accelerate to the 85 and enter another level of rewards.
Hope this helps.

Yesterday, GW node 12 was full clone team.
My team was full life & full protection except kanan's protection at ~80%.
This is what happened.
Zeb : Staggering sweep => success
Hera : Call Zeb to stun => resist
Chopper : Attack (crit) => TM for clone
Clone team turn. Attack, attack, assist, bonus attack..
My whole team is dead.
I didn't even had the chance to retreat.
There was no challenge, it was just impossible. Is it really designed to be impossible ?
Since I learned that it was possible to start the fight again, I managed almost all the resets. I am now at 48/50 and I have no problem to retry the same fight dozens of times. But for this to be fun, it must be doable.
The higher level teams tend to usually be bad teams and badly modded. Would you prefer a level 54 well synergised and modded team?
Build your teams. It gets better.
Use a sacrificial team to try and take out 1 or 2 of theirs. Then use your Phoenix.
Your mods are horrendous too. Seriously, a defense triangle on Ezra?
Or just buy the shards with all your GW currency and convert them in the shard shop.
As others have said it was far worse in the old days but you were given some good advice
To that end add these 2 accounts as allys and just pm me with who you want to use
153-471-468 (my main acc)
821-863-637 (my 2nd acc)
Both have a great selection of units and will be of benefit to you clearing nodes etc ingame
Ps also get used to very non helpful comments on here as well this can be a toxic place at times best to have thick skin
We have all gone through this. I didn't start completiing all 12 consistently until I had 3 teams built to work through it. Be patient. You are WAY early in the game. Best of luck.

The clones though are a high value bang for the buck as far as how powerful they are. Galactic War determines your opponents based on the power of the top 5 characters on your roster. Regardless of if they have ever worked together or what. So if you keep focusing on one team, you will eventually run into its counter in Galactic War. Phoenix is countered by almost all teams with synergy if the power levels are similar.
The only time I ever had trouble with Galactic War was when it was bugged last fall. I had my 150 completions done before I got to level 85 and before they switched it to 50.
The most frustrating part tbh os being at level 75 with a bastilla team that can auto it and having to wait until you hot 85 to sim it.
85 is the new 25.
Hit 85.
I call foul! You already called this a necro!
For all the good it did....
