Here's a thought, don't make Vader so impossible to achieve. I have 5 stars and need 70 more to get 6 stars. Hmmm...
If I make 1000 purchases in the arena shipments (currently at 225) I get another 10 shards. Meaning if I place in the top 50 in arena battles (which is likely), in one year from now, I will have enough purchases to win the 10 shards.
If I win 2500 arena battles (currently at 511), then I earn 3 shards. So in a year I have another 3 shards.
Maybe in a year from now, I will only need four more years to get the sixth star. Perhaps I can earn the seventh star sometime just before retirement.

Best advice to get vader? Always have extra shards from 7* characters handy. I got 4 shards for Vader that way so far. It's happened about twice last week
If that's not possible, implement new "REASONABLE" achievements so we can get more shards for the love Jar Jar!!!
@EA_Jesse: you may recognize my name from the numerous Darth Vader posts I have made. In one you mentioned there was going to be additional ways to get Vader shards. Can you share that with us yet? I am almost at 150 GW wins (nearly half a year without missing a day) and I will likely complete Stage 8 hard nodes by the weekend. This will put me at only 52/85 for 6* Vader. Is the next stage 300 GW wins?!?
This issue needs to be addressed, and soon. Dedicated players deserve to be rewarded for their persistence. Thank you.
He should NEVER be permanently available. He should be only for the most dedicated and persistent player. The current rates of the achievment rewards should be adjusted accordingly and players that have completed them compensated accordingly.
This* I feel the same way. He's an awesome toon and if he was easy to get then he would be nerfed way to hard. Leave him hard to get I'll be around for awhile lol
I hit 1# at payout with him as leader.
He starts out at 4* when you unlock him.
4*-7* by Xmas? That's impossible bro : /
This
First off ...**** dude that's awesome, C'gratz on 6k+ Vader
Second, what is his avg base dmg non-leader at that current setup?
Third, I agree wholeheartedly that he should stay hard to * up ...but not this hard!
These pics are from last week I think but you get the idea...

I wish I had your luck, I've been able to get maybe 8 shards from the Shop since they introduced it!
Pretty sure I love your team. It's weird not seeing dooku. x-D
I think he could be good in arena at gear 9, now that we have protection. It's now likely that his dots do full damage because battles last longer, and protection is in-healable. But if I ever saw him on an enemy squad, especially if he was paired with other debuffers like Obi wan, I would just use Yoda. Between him and RG+Daka stuns I think I could manage.
But on offense, I think his culling blade could be a great way to bypass RG auto stun, and his main attack could be very useful neutralizing Jedi.
