Really feels like they missed an opportunity here to excite the player base. I don't get it; isn't it the same amount of dev work to make Vader's relic his iconic helmet instead of some nondescript light saber?

If by the same amount of work you mean copy/paste one of 5 generic lightsaber images into every jedi and sith character would be the same as creating unique art for every single character... then no, not really, its not the same amount of work.
For a real community building event, they could have let us vote on the relic for each character. Doesn't have to change it's stats or effects, just the art team. Big missed opportunity.
I didnt even realize that most of the relics were just the character's weapon. I was bummed about this update from a gameplay standpoint, now I'm just bummed on the update overall.
Only thing to do now is play at a pace that is comfortable to you I guess.
So if the relics were "imaginative", we would have less complaints about them?
Of course not. The main issue with them is the new paywall they create at the top, further separating f2p, dolphins, and whales/krakens... on TOP of the still new g13 wall.
The complaint here is, they could've at least been cool about unique relics that belong to each toon. They could've dug a little more into lore and gave us interesting items. Like someone said earlier, Rose's necklace would've been great to have as a relic as it's iconic to her character personally(lore-wise). Kylo's Vader helmet is perfect, but is most cases it's "here's a zoomed in picture of their weapon". Another missed opportunity, IMO, is Enfys Nest. The game has her "electroripper staff" as her relic. And while it is a cool weapon, I'd say the more iconic item for her would be the helmet. In the movie she gives a big speech about her helmet and gear being passed down to her from her mother. And it basically enabled her to be the Star Wars equivalent to a vigilante superhero for people standing up against the Empire and criminal syndicates.
His F-ing claw it's shameful and shows a complete lack of imagination JTR and JKA literally have the same lightsaber
What else would you give JTR though considering that the other Rey already has her staff? They both used the same lightsaber at different points in the SW timeline.

Now, if they gave the Wampa arm/claw to Commander Luke Skywalker, I'd be down for that!
EXACTLY
Preach!

Yes.

Not a chance, they still create other issues. But the actual relic would not be yet another issue. How does CG taste?
Edit: See stardog's post
Well wampa did become ineffective once his arm was removed.
Of course not. The main issue with them is the new paywall they create at the top, further separating f2p, dolphins, and whales/krakens... on TOP of the still new g13 wall.

They could have given him his collection of padawan braids that we saw in Clone Wars.
