Hold off on farming Hoth Scout and Soldier
Without knowing how long this event will last or if it will even return to Hoth after it finishes, there might not be enough time to farm these two to the point where they could be useful in which you will have wasted resources.

Sorry for my English :]
That said, I don't think anyone should panic-farm HR Soldier or HR Scout. But saving up cantina currency to rapidly star-up HR Scout would be prudent. If HR Scout is useless in the end, you can spend those tokens on something else. HR Soldier will require a longer-term commitment. I wouldnt' be surprised if HR Soldier is the September login character, though. And there will almost certainly be a bundle.
I mean, one thing is to say "hey dont panic farm, everything will be all right, if you cant complete their phase without them, just shrug and move on", but saying people shouldnt farm is just coo-coo.
Imagine Hoth this month, then tatooine the next. Maybe the Ewok homeworld? I think TB could be adapted to have more than one playing field. Maybe in time
What do you base this on? This is not a "raid", so comparing it to other raids seems like a stretch.
Suggesting that this is permanent and that CG wouldn't simply "move the goal posts" in a few months by having new "gate" characters that a hard farm only I think is almost more naive.
Think about the past few months.
Thrawn...needed Phoenix.
CSL...needed 5 other characters (one of whom was only obtainable through 5 other characters).
The various Assault Battles all use different teams. As do the Omega battles.
I think it is far MORE likely that they will switch it after a while...offering high-priced, low value packs for mediocre "gate" characters" at each switch...rather than keep it the same and allow everyone to simply farm up the needed heroes at their leisure.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

You have to think of it from a developer perspective. They've put a lot into not only Territory Battles in general, but this Hoth map specifically, both in development time (special missions, special effects; e.g. ion cannon, etc) but also beta testing time.
I can see them adding another map, but I can't see them throwing out the Hoth map. If anything it would be some sort of rotation. But to put that kind of development and testing time into it to throw it out 3 months later?
No, it's here to stay.
I was thinking this too. We simply don't know enough yet to warrant a panic farm.

^actually we do know
And when you are done with them, don't forget about Lobot, Ewok Scout, FOTP, FOST, and Urorrur'r'r. You should always have a hard-node only character on the farm. Use it to fulfill your dailies.
Can this thread just be deleted?
I'm pretty sure TB's will have a weekly or every other week frequency, rotating locations like they do with omega/assault battles and legendary events. Each location will require certain toons, and new toons to be unlocked via missions and introduced into the new store.
So let's say we have 4 maps introduced this year, there will be 4 characters given to us somehow like hoth han, 4 characters unlocked like hoth leia, and four characters in the store like hermit yoda. People will have to choose what character to buy first from the store, hopefully adding some variety to GW and Arena.
How are we going to max out Leia without it coming back? That would take 50 guild members completing 6+ of the special missions. Not likely to happen
Yes they may try to rotate the actual location later but each map will still require your "whole roster" which has been stated many times. At worst you will be better off with a more complete roster. If they go that route.
It will return. 100%
But while I have both HRS at 7* (soldier as of earlier this week...
Second, it sounds like they'll probably have SOME kind of utility in this event, but nothing crucial to finishing it.
So yeah, go ahead and farm them, but don't worry about whether you've got them by launch or not - it probably won't matter all that much.
( Now watch them be crucial for the Ion Cannon mission lol )
Gonna open the game and see if I'm right. (Spoiler: haha no.)
