Out of curiosity what could you guys possibly benefit by making me have both Darth Revan and Jedi Knight Revan. I have the Light Side characters to beat him today and get that part out of the way. It gives me something to work on and look forward to doing. I know I'm the only person that thinks this but I think it would be a better event if you could be able to clear one side or the other if you have the corresponding characters instead of both being required to even enter it.

But what a rush it is to finally beat absurd.
I would hardly say the event is absurd. I had the benefit of learning how others beat it,but it took me only like 10ish tries to beat it this morning, with minimal mod movement (and some of my mod movement actually hurt me...my mission did better with her 216% CD, 65% CC and 2800 physical damage than she did with 150% CD 45% CC, and 3500 damage despite you not wanting or able to crit malak.... Helped kill the bots/tanks better). Drain is probably more broken in his kit than it is in the event.
By far chewy event was more absurd
I disagree. The event is hard but not due to RNG. There isn't really any RNG involved.
Deal with it, Pal
TRANSLATION: "I'm not ready even though the event requirements have been known for months and instead of admitting I'm simply not ready I'm going to tout this as a fairness issue"
For me the RNG part came at the end, After getting all of the armor shreds stacked up, and the tanks defeated, who malak drained made a big difference, as well as the dmg RNG, you can easily get stuck in a loop where you hit him to yellow, he drains to get back to green, you hit him back to yellow, he drains again, back to back to back drains. If I waste G13's on JKR I am sure I could of hit hard enough to prevent this, but, at g12 it is a pain. Anywho, I won, but it wasnt an enjoyable experience.
As for the chewbacca references, I just used the pilot BH, and let the game autobattle while I did other things, just clicking to restart the battle, autobattle again, didnt take that long for the RNG to come out right. BB8 and JTR were harder because I underdogged them waaaaaay more than chewie, but here for malak, even with the right toons, g12 and all but 1 zeta, arena mods, and right strategy, you have to manually fight a 10 minute battle over and over again
TL;DR: It is hard, it isn't fair, but it was created that way to be challenging. Dig in and have fun with it, in the end, it's a game. Also cake.
Thank for letting us know, Captain Obvious.
Uh, that's the exact reason we should be able to at least try the ls half. I'd rather spend the next 2 days trying to beat half and learning what I need to improve on then do both sides at once in 6 months.
Lightside is the only challenging one. Darkside is pretty much just faceroll your way to victory.
Which is why we'd absolutely not be "better off" not being allowed to attempt.
Darth Revan already came back a month ago.
Two months ago* but the point stands.
This is just factually untrue. I absolutely won this event by learning the mechanics and adapting my strategy to those mechanics. My Mission and Zaalbar are both minimally geared for the event.
The light side is hard, but it's not absurd unless you don't understand and master the mechanics
No offense, but this sounds like you were doing something that ignored a relevant mechanic.
Unfortunately there are a bunch of interlocking mechanics in this event, so it's hard to diagnose without knowing exactly which approach you took.
But, as someone who encountered precisely the problem your describing, multiple times, with multiple different strategies, I can tell you that I did end up succeeding fairly comfortably once i hit on the strategy that I used.
