Is JKL gonna be required for either of the new GLs?

Simple question and with JKLuke coming around soon,it would be fair for CG to clarify this just as they clarified that neither Rey or Kylo will be needed for new GLs.

So you see no problem with JKL,a toon that requires dozen reliced toons to be unlocked,be one of the reqs for,lets say,GMLS?What would be Emperor counterpart for that requirement?
I don't see the problem. JKL is a pretty solid toon too. We might get more freebies like Hermit Yoda etc as relics to offset some of the difficulty behind JKL
Keep in mind JKL cannot be purchased for any amount of money by a large percentage of the player base (he’s behind a GET wall). They will make less money from new players if he is required.
Money is on the gear. Hoda and wampa have been in the GET store for ages, so that is not a problem.
JML required to unlock JML confirmed.
JML isn't geared for new players
We don't even know his gear requirements yet!
He actually IS a requirement for his event!
No I don't see a problem with that.
*IF* - the requirement are equal, and roughly on par with the previous 2, since they are saying they will be on the same power level.
I'm sure they base all of these requirements on average farming time for the toons they select, so there is a lot of grey area and wiggle room. There is no current rebel/jedi that would fit the Piett timeline, so not having a fresh farm gives some room Luke's way.... IDK, but I can see them balancing it all out.
Edit to add: we also already see slight cross over with C3PO, that could be how they even it out too.
Not everyone has been playing for ages. Up until now at least, most people choose using GET on Malak and GAS over Wampa and hYoda.
I mean, if he’s not that’s fine. I’m not going to complain. But you don’t know that. There are people who have played for 2 months and have Kylo or Rey (or even both in some extremely rare cases!). There’s no evidence to say CG wants GLs to be exclusive to vet players.
I don't see a problem neither, but for a different reason.
As prerequisites go, some players would prefer a good toon, even if it's hard to get, because the gear used isn't going to waste.
Other would prefer an easy to get toon, even if it's a bad toon, because they want to collect the price faster.
If it's different depending on gl (as it was for Rey/kylo, as Rey needed 2 legendaries and kylo only one), i guess everyone would be happy.
And:
They've made it clear that GL is intended for veteran players and that is why there is a lot of effort in obtaining Galactic Legends
You’ve given examples of the past 2 GLs, both of which required no hard to obtain characters. Lots of new players are going directly for them, and they have the option of doing so. Every one of those characters can be immediately purchased. JKL cannot, even if his event is up. I’m not saying the new GLs will be the same way, only that it’s silly to assume they won’t be.
I am 83/85 for Hoda and 75/85 for Wampa. I will not be able to get JKLS any time soon because of this... If they lock me out of the next two GL because of this, that is a poor business model as Bulldog has said. If they let me buy Hoda/Wampa, then that would make sense, but they clearly didn't decide to for his first release...
It doesn't seem like a big stretch to me, and seems reasonable enough to include him.
Out of curiosity, how long have you been playing? I don’t have GLRey, but I have everything you said, plus Hoda/Wampa at 7* r3. I also have just under 4.7mil gp.
I won’t be surprised whatsoever if he’s included. I’m not making a prediction either way.
That would make sense too.
Definitely a solid possibility. But I'm sure many of us are ready for JKL the next time he appears. After that it'll be dealing with Piett and Threepachew as the challenge, along with the other marquee toons we've gotten that they'll tag as requirements.
Shoulda whaled harder
