Since the release of Rogue One, it seems dark side characters are consistently placed as "hard farms" whereas light side characters seem to get off much easier. Let's look at some of the recent releases:
All Rogue One ls characters were placed in shops besides Baze who was on a single hard node. Baze is now attainable in GE shop making him considerably easier. Conversely, Rogue One dark side characters were placed in either a single hard node, or a 16 energy cantina node. Also of note is that Rogue one ls characters have become 50 crystals/shard while Rogue one DS characters remain 80/shard despite being released at same time.
Phoenix
All Phoenix was placed in either shops, or 8 energy cantina nodes
Sith
DN was placed in a single hard node. Sith assassin/trooper were both placed in 16 energy cantina nodes.
Gar Saxon/ISC
Placed in 16 energy cantina nodes.
Fulcrum
Placed in fleet shipments
Ewoks/nightsisters
1 ewok was placed in guild shop, 1 in a 10 energy cantina node, and 1 in a monthly event. Conversely all 3 night sisters were placed in a monthly event
Because of the GE shop having rebel shards, I think the only remaining ls characters on hard node only is Ewok Scout, and there was an update to add him to a 3rd hard node. DS still has FOST, DN, Veers, Krennic, Shoretrooper, and last and least, Ur'rorororororoororororororr

Lobot is the hardest farm overall because nobody wants him other than to fill a platoon spot. It is extremely difficult and hard to stomach simming his node, and it is a complete waste of your time and resources. For that reason he is the hardest character in the game to farm and easily evens it out when comparing difficult ls and ds farms.
Just curious if you have some data to back that up?
Hermit Yoda is LS GE special, we do not know DS special yet
I disagree with R2 because 5x empires is not so difficult, but BB-8 is not trivial because FO is not.
A sad truth, though hopefully Snoke gets some ridiculous zetas that will bring him up to CLS level and perhaps allow FO to be a viable counter to Rebels (I'm also sure FO and resistance will be greatly expanded after TLJ's release)
correction, resistance will get a Chaze-like boost while FO will get a Drennic-like boost
