These little baddies are not just useless; they can be detrimental to own now...
After making all mod battles available to all toons, they are no longer "required" to get those crucial Crit. Dam. mods...
They are ineffective in the Tank raids, where their added special ability is nice but still not enough to make them worthwhile...
And the one Event that "requires" Jawa can also be completed with a different squad entirely...
Now with the addition of the Grand Arena; owning a powerful (lol) Jawa squad hurts a player as they are no match for any other squad of similar GP, but still factored in as if they were the equal of anything else...
Ewoks needed to unlock C3PO? 3PO befriended the Ewoks? I suppose a case could be made there, however Leia actually met and befriended Wicket first as we all know... Who found that **** gold bot wandering alone in the deserts on Tantooine? Who kidnapped and reunited him with R2D2? Who sold them both to Lukes family thus launching Luke on a path further than he could possibly imagine? THE JAWA!!!! A huge opportunity to make the Jawa relevant to the game again has been completely whiffed...

Whats the point you are trying to make? Yes, it WAS beneficial to have Jawa... my point is now they are less than beneficial...
Also, you made my case for me... if the devs wanted to make money, they would have made C3PO require G12 Jawa; since so few ppl have them there would be a game wide rush to get them...
How on earth are they your 2nd most powerful team? Who told you THAT was a good idea?
I asked that exact question in a different thread and got no response.
If you built Jawas to be your 2nd most powerful team, that’s on you. There was no reason to push them up that high and the information is out there that they are not good. Why would you use all those cuffs on Jawas?
Nobody told me it was a good idea... nowhere had i seen that some squads are not just a bit weaker than the rest, but totally worthless and to be avoided at all costs either... when i first start a game (like most others im sure) i dont do a bunch of research to see what is useless and what isnt, i see what appears to be a cool game, download and start plugging away... the fact that theyre my 2nd most powerful squad has only to do with the timing of my starting. coupled with the fact that they used to be required for crit dam mods, i got the "jawa" unlocked free from bronzium when i first started and decided to go for those mods as some friends of mine who had been playing longer than i were unable to even access them yet. shortly after i unlocked the final tier they made all mods avail to all toons. now ive quit the jawa entirely and have far surpassed them with my sith/empire squad, thats pretty easy with a g12 2Z vader, palp and tarkin alone, plus any two more toons and they SHOULD do to the jawa what they did in the movies... my jedi are close behind in GP but would completely overpower the jawa, this stands to reason as well. the point is the jawa (any squad really) should be EFFECTIVE AGAINST SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE or at least ACTUALLY REQUIRED SOMEWHERE... otherwise they are just a frustrating waste of time that is going to turn players away from a good game.
Isnt the point of any game to get new players? AKA Customers? As a newer (only months not years at) lvl 85, i have not had a chance to fully develop my entire roster yet; therefore the offset that a geared jawa squad has to the rest of my roster is much greater. If the idea is cater only to those who have been around a long time and to hell with any new players, they have done a good job here.
Overreacting much?
They're just bad. Plain bad. Ughnaught bad. Period.
A full team of 7* G10 jawas still worth around 70kGP, and they are no match to other 70k GP squad like R1 or Phoenix.
Just bad. Ewoks has a faction wide synergy and couple zetas, Jawas dont.
Tank raid has been out for what, 2 years now? You should have spent some of that time gearing some teams other than jawas.
The tuskens are rolling their goggles at this
