I just reached level 70 as a player and I'm generally pretty happy with my A-team (Dooku(L) 5*, Sid 7*, Lumi 7*, JC 7*, and Daka 6*) but I feel like I missed out on some great DPS toons like GS because I was too stubborn to farm them over the "safe" characters I had already going.
In fact, if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably have left JC at 6* and not spent any time on Chewie. (Yes, I am a shameful owner of a 6* Chewie with 47/100 shards to 7* before I stopped. Oh the shame.)
At this point, should I go back and use Cantina energy to farm GS? I would have to take a break from farming Dooku, or at least slow down Dooku's progress, to get GS. Of course I also have to think about the fact that it'll take some time to get him to a star level that makes him relevant at my level. Lastly, I think GS is in the first Cantina level which means the rate of Cantina rewards per energy spent is the lowest.
But even with that said, it seems like GS is one of the elite attackers in this game and the question stands, is it worth it for me to go back and farm him now?

tl;dr: I'd stick with Dooku for now.
I would also wait with GS but I think his usefulness will fall more and more once other toons reach gear level 9. That was probably one of the main reasons he became so viable in the first place. So my advice is as others said keep farming Dooku because your team will benefit more from him.
Yes, he does. I miss not having him every day, the ugly bug.
@orange12, I'd suggest waiting for the update which is almost here. Farming him so low will put a serious dent in your credits, Cantina currency and purple mats since you've just reached 70. Devs have confirmed higher drop rates for the mats at higher Cantina nodes. By now, GS is not an indispensable toon like he was pre level unlock. QGJ, Rey, RP etc can easily take his place and bring more to the table. He's still good but not a must have like he was. Maybe the update will make him less relevant. It's just 2 more days. I think someone posted that the update is on Friday.
Did you know:
1. GS has counted to infinity, TWICE?
2. GS does not push himself up, he pushes the earth down.
3. GS calls Chuck Norris for assist attack.
I'm totally baffled where to spend my Cantina energy right now as I was going to farm 86 (started yesterday) but now that seems like a terrible idea.
Also:
4. They named a street as Genosian Soldier, but then they had to change it, bkause nobody crosses GS!
5. Phasers have 3 settings: Stun, kill and Genosian Soldier
6. GS can pause an online game!!!
(ok , non-leader meta?) feel like he's the most used non leader with GS
If you don't know who to farm in cantina, and you don't have him, GS is not a bad way to go.
+1 GS has been my MVP against Rancor.
Side tipp though: Ewoks are fantastic against the pigs in phase 1, so Chirpa might be an alternative should you not like the bug. Still I recommend GS first though
You must not know anything about games like this, the more obscure the character, generally the more powerful. This is done as "fan service" despite being ridiculous. Giant roach out DPS sith lords, *rolls eyes*
