If they would just tell us now and give everyone time w/out having to climb a massive last minute paywall that would be really appreciated..might even shell out cash to gear him quickly.
If you ignore the several hints offered, then you'll have nobody to blame but yourself. They've been talking about Luke's journey since May. The only people who will likely be facing that "massive last minute paywall" are the people who want to have their hand held and are waiting for confirmation before starting to prepare.
You should talk to people that farmed the hell out of Jawas for HAAT... They put faith in the "hints" heck even solid info and for the most part got burned.
I would agree with you more if gearing a character wasn't soo time/resource intensive. The best one can do is to gear to g7/8 while its easy and hoard the rest just in case in these cases of speculation. Especially when the character has limited uses like Ben.
Devs have it rough... trying to balance these events around such a large player base discrepancy is not easy. Then again they made the system top heavy to begin with.
That's the thing, minimal investment is necessary here. All people need to be doing is farming the shards, and given Ben's a cantina node, that's not that big a deal at just about any level. You don't have to spend the credits to raise his star level. You don't have to spend the credits to raise his regular level. You don't have to spend the gear to raise his gear level. All that can be farmed and then committed later if you decide it's worth it.
If you decide it's not worth it you can take all that hoarded gear and use it elsewhere. The only thing you're missing out on this way is farming shards for one character. If you're at a point in the game where missing out on one character farm is a huge deal then Legendary events and things "even more epic" (or whatever the exact quote is) probably aren't for you yet...
Its not that people need their hand held or are afraid to gamble
Its just a bad risk/huge gamble
Even players that have only been here 6 months probably think almost anything could happen
If old Ben is needed fine if not hes not the most useful character, do i really need a 12th jedi that i have to farm from scratch?
And after i do that will this new Luke be leading my arena team?
Will it be hoth rebel soldier part 2?
Will it be Bespin Luke awesome jedi ?
Are more lukes coming?
What if this IS the final Luke
People just dont know...
You say you don't want your hand held. Then you list a kitten-ton of questions, and imply that you want to know the answers to those questions to determine precisely if Old Ben is worth farming.
That sounds an awful lot like wanting your hand held.
Personally I'd prefer the yellow-jacket Luke. Plus if we get Hoth Leia and Hoth Han (those are the characters' in-game names), then why wouldn't they call him Hoth Luke? The character's name is Commander Luke, so I don't believe it will be a Hoth version.
What makes you sure that their final names are going to be "Hoth Han" and "Hoth Leia"?
And why would they release "Commander Luke" at the same time as a lot of other Hoth-themed content without making him the Hoth version of Luke, considering that's the only time in the movies he's ever referred to as "Commander".
I got Old Ben to 5* when the dodge meta was rampant. Stopped immediately when I realized he kinda sucks when Lando/Biggs/Wedge and EP came out of nowhere. Haven't looked back since.
He'll be needed, probably with Han Solo, Leia, maybe R2.
I think people would go crazy if you need R2 and raid Han. Not everyone has them since they are legendary and raid reward character. STH more likely with Leia, Ben and FB Luke.
I agree - but Luke is a long awaited toon, and I wouldn't be surprised if R2 and raid Han Solo are required.
If this is truly a continuation of luke's story, we could be looking at the Death Star escape. As there is no viable Chewbacca or C3P0 in the game to use, I would wager R2, Han, STHan, Leia, FB Luke and Old Ben are all toons we will likely need.
At the very least: STHan, Leia, Old Ben and FB Luke. But that just seems a little too easy to me.

Tbf I really believe all new Lukes will be free. And the final Jedi Luke will be able to 7* for free if we fulfilled all of his journey correctly. Also I don't think r2 or raid han will be required but maybe available to use.
I'm also sitting here thinking, "Man, the devs are probably thinking 'we can't say anything, without the player base going all conspiracy-theory and trying to find meaning behind every adjective we use.'"
Future updates will just be boiled down to the most basic words without added adjectives.
"Coming soon: Use characters to complete missions"
Or they sit around and say, let's stir the pot:
"Coming very soon: Prepare for legendary heroic and epic battles where familiar acquaintances join in arms to take down an elusive foe at an undisclosed location cloaked in ominous foreboding mystery! Huuuge rewards will be lavished upon those who have prepared their bipedal team of heroes for this upcoming release!"

I wouldnt doubt that but i dont see that happening before the first part of the luke event.
He also had to escape from the ultimate weapon in ROTJ. I would call that more of a "narrow" escape than a "daring" escape, but it was an escape all the same.
To me, that quote suggests we will start on Tatooine (which we've already done) and will wrap up with the epic battle on the last Death Star...likely facing Vader and Palpatine in some form or fashion.
If that was the case, I would suspect that for this one, the ultimate reward will be getting some Hoth version of Luke. It ties in nicely with the upcoming game mode, where it seems like at least at some point we will be fighting on Hoth. It would likely make him the ultimate toon to have for that event and help to unlock Hoth Han and Hoth Leia.
The piece that doesn't quite work out for me is that in the first event, we used Farm Boy Luke, on Tatooine, alongside Jawas.
That would make it feel like for THIS event, we'd be using Commander Luke/Hoth Luke, and fighting ON Hoth, alongside some "familiar faces" that he "rejoins"...but unless they are going to gift us a nice shiny Commander Luke, or let us "trade in" the Farmboy Luke for the new one, then it will be Farm Boy Luke fighting again. But against who...and who will be supporting him?
It would seem like Veers and Snowtroopers would make good sense as the opponents, if it does end up using Hoth as the stage.
So who might be alongside Luke? Leia...Han...Chewie...R2...these all make sense, even if the versions we CURRENTLY have are not the Hoth/ESB versions. I think technically Old Ben could fit in here, since he does have the vision of him when he's hanging upside down in the cave.
I don't suspect they would make Raid Han be required...and it might even be a stretch to have it be R2, since there could be a good number of players who have not had a chance to even unlock R2 yet.
Old Ben, STH, and Leia are all available, so it feels like at least one of these would make sense.

I also think they are refrencing the second dearh star because to me their giving you an overview of the journey from beggining of ANH to the end of ROTJ.
Luke was granted the rank of Commander after Yavin 4. If they go logically from farmer boy to the next step, it should be the yellow jacketed version of Luke from the comics. That's not too much of a time-jump, and he already exclusively uses his lightsaber. Hoth Luke would be too much of a jump from Tatooine farmerboy Luke.
I hope you're right. I want Luke more than most players but hoth Luke doesn't appeal to me at all.
How many Lukes do you want lol, personally i think theyre going to stick to the movies.
Ideally I hope they do stick to the movies. Meaning Bespin Luke and Jedi Luke - but yellow jacket Luke would be better than hoth Luke for sure
Hoth Luke (commander) in orange flight suit
Bespin Luke in tan outfit
Jedi Luke in black outfit
These would be cool in my opinion.
I think youre right but commander luke will be wearing snow gear. Well see tho.
Yeah it is most likely that he will be in taun-taun riding snowgear... but on Hoth he was also in his snowspeeder with orange flight suit so I hope he will be that version.
In an Orange Flight Suit, and his own X-Wing! So Biggs, Wedge, and Luke can fly together again!
The Luke who destroys Death Star with Biggs and Wedge is Luke from "A New Hope" the Luke we already have, he becomes Commander Luke in the period after that movie and before Empire Strikes Back, and after that he only uses the XWing as personal car. If we get Red5 XWing it should belong to Farmer Luke, besides it will give that character a reason to remain in game.
True - but we could also get Rogue Leader X-wing for Commander Luke too, lol
He also had to escape from the ultimate weapon in ROTJ. I would call that more of a "narrow" escape than a "daring" escape, but it was an escape all the same.
If you say the phrase "Luke's daring escape from the Death Star" to a bunch of Star Wars fans, most would assume ANH, not RotJ. And a version of Luke obtained after RotJ would almost certainly be called Jedi Knight Luke, not Commander Luke. And since Luke is is only ever referred to as Commander at the beginning of ESB, combined with the impending release of the Hoth Territory Battle, I think the evidence is overwhelming that they're talking about the ANH Death Star, not the RotJ Death Star.

Yeah.
There were two "daring escapes" from the DS: the first one after kenobi dies and the second one after Vader dies. Luke didnt "escape" from the DS when he blew it.
So, since after the second escape eh was formally a jedi, and not a Commander, one can assume that the escape they are referring to is the one in ANH.
Crap, I think I need to start farming
I was suggesting that the description describes the WHOLE journey, not just the upcoming next step...meaning that the final battle we face to end up with Jedi Luke will take place on the ROTJ Death Star, where he escapes before it is destroyed.

I love how some people are over analyzing his daring escapes and thinking the Luke's hero journey is going to end in ANH, when it's just beginning.
I think it's both. I think this portion of the journey is ending with the daring escape before the end of ANH, resulting in Commander Luke (ESB). I also think the journey will continue further into the story, however, resulting in at least Jedi Knight Luke (RotJ), if not further towards Master Luke (TFA).

Shorter examples are:
Sidious > Palpatine

That's exactly what it is - we will need to brush up on toons from ANH - R2, Old Ben, Luke (farm boy), Leia, Han and STHan.
We may see the release of Rebel Chewie in the new territory battles and he may be required in the continuation of luke's story down the road.
I agree - but Luke is a long awaited toon, and I wouldn't be surprised if R2 and raid Han Solo are required.
