So the empire pass came and the only notable arena toons are R2 and Ashoka. Since they failed time and time again (if they really tried at all) in adding/ reworking empire toons comparable with any other premium toons in the post-Chaze PVP landscape how many tries do you think that CG would need to make the seemly impossible happen?

This toon will not bring anything they needed against the multiple cleanse or Zaul meta to either his faction as a leader or to himself as a standalone toon. The empire needed a cleanser, some way to fight against repeated cleanses as debuffs are their bread and butter and more similar anti-rebel synergies like Wiggs and Chaze have. The reworked Tarkin, and the empire pass in general didn't bring anything of that, just even more debuffs. He is a joke, like your characterization of him being amazing.
Rex destroys Empire too as does Chaze. Unless EA surprises us with Thrawn and he fills some gaps in the Empire, the Empire are dead in Arena. Stop making Raid-only viable characters please. There are enough characters to compete in HAAT and Rancor, don't need more that are uselss outside of the two raids.
Even with true PVP like in Force Arena, players can just run something with Rex which can manage just about everything except DN lead and even that can be beat. We need more characters that are viable outside of PVE options.
We'll see, I don't have faith. First turn AOE from Tarkin, Veers, or DT make a Rex squad take the 2nd turn, tenacity up, and it's over. Veers team attack will just smash into Baze or GK at 40% less damage, and the Rex squad will just take over. This is not the fix Empire players were looking for, guarantee it. I could be wrong, but I don't see this going over well on more mature servers where Rex lead is a huge % of the leaders and DN and Chaze are in most of them. Anywhere where Maul leads are still present, this doesn't hurt them at all.
Okay, Tarkin will got a bad AoE such as Lando did before Shore appeared, but Zeta on his lead is ridiculous... Clearly this is not good at all.
And who's gonna pay for it ?
Why don't we have a Cleanse on RG ? This is also a possibility, but we don't. And yet, we've got another promising chars... And this is... Ahsoka from Star Wars Rebels. This is just a big joke, all this "Empire" Pass is not. We got two useless chars (Gar and ISC), then we got a trooper rework, which is good but it's not that much for Empire, this is something more specific to them, and then we got this "big" rework which is not.
RG still laking of many things, why doesn't EP have a Zeta ? Why don't we got a Cleanser ? Why no one as Empire as a synergy such as Wiggs or Chaze ? This is exclusively high synergy and we don't have any chance to get as much love as them, so we can just play chars that have little things together.
Just to say it, Chaze combine all roles together : Heal, Support, Damage, Debuffs, Buffs, Counter, Speed down, Assists, AoE, etc....
And yet, do we have that much or at least a part of that ?
I'm just so **** that I'm thinking of going for FO / Resistance, something funny and worthy.
And now LS got R2 who provides another cleanse upon crit if you zeta'd that ability. Sith have Savage which isn't bad, but that's about it really. DS need something else. Something like Daze or Shock is killer for a squad like Empire.
1) DT Tarkin(lead) EP Krennic DN.
2) SA Zader(lead) DN Zid Tarkin
3) Gar lead Tarkin
4) Hide the Tarkin ( Tanky taunts with Tarkin.) GK lead Zarris Baze 5's Tarkin
5) Zarkin lead EP SA SIT Savage. (Least likely but may kill under protection effectively enough.)
The problem is people want to put him with TFP, ShT, EP and 2 meta ago empire toons. Nobody actually has tried to find squads for him outside of the older comps.
