I started playing the game back in January and took about 4-6 weeks off and then I came back to the game around the time leia became farmable. I have a good squad but I'm stuck around arena rank 900-700.
Would it be worth it to start a new acc so I can at least break rank 100 or possibly top 10?

Starting over is completely pointless. Even if you have zero of the toons you actually want to play with, you are in a much better position to actually get the toons you want now compared to the beginning of the game.
Starting over means you have less energy per crystal refresh, no access to gw in the beginning or many other game modes, less toons to work with, Fewer nodes to farm the gear or shards you want.
Especially now that almost all toons are needed between raids and mod challenges.
Just keep playing, there is no benefit at all to startIng over.
well I have a pretty solid top five:
I run AA(L) 6* gear 7
Leia 6* gear 8
STH 6* gear 8
Luke 7* gear 8
And Lando or lumi 7* gear 7
It's a great arena group but I'm a few gear levels behind plus all the crazy mods people have. I'm working on Jawas now to try and get crit dam mods along with health mods.
As for everyone else thanks for the advice. Just a little discouraged that I haven't broke arena 500 yet and I lose to GW 12 node a majority of the time. . .
For me, getting to Level 80 was great because I no longer had to worry about leveling up and now I am just working on improving the quality of my roster (although I am still nowhere near having all the toons I want up to level 80 and geared up).
If I was forced to start over, honestly, I doubt I would be willing to re-invest all the time and resources I have put into it already.
Right now you are already in a much better spot than where you would be if you started over.
I know when I started over, I was placed into a shard where most accounts were pretty much brand new. I don't know if this always happens, but I loved it. Arena for me is one of the more fun aspects of the game and I enjoyed being on an equal starting point again. Although I now had the know-how there were still whales...BUT they didn't quite have the same grasp on the game as I had. So their amount of characters vs my knowledge made for quite an interesting challenge..
Consequently, I've remained in top 10 arena rankings for quite some time. As an F2P player, this has made a dramatic difference for me. Honestly, getting to level 40 and unlocking galactic war takes no time at all, I was actually pretty amazed how fast it was. Bottom line for me... even though you are essentially giving up all your hard work on your other account, for me that feeling quickly faded and I have thoroughly enjoyed starting over.
If you read the threads, there are a lot of people having problem beating GW node 12 (me included) since they made some tweaks and added the mods.
Also, make sure you are in a Guild where you can participate in the raids. You get gear and guild credits which you can use to build up your characters (including your Luke). Furthermore, if you start over and join a guild (I think you have to be level 20?), the lack of energy that ChefHaze mentioned will affect your support of your Guild's daily challenges and that will affect Guild credit payout.
I could see why you are considering it. I'm going to go contrary to other opinions here and say do it. Start over. Or at least play 2 accounts in parallel for a few weeks to see how it goes. To get past g8, you need to either spend money or earn crystals. By far the best way to earn crystals is through a high Arena rank. If you are behind hundreds of people, it's going to be difficult to climb to the point where you are getting good Arena payouts. g7/8 is pretty easy to get to, so I don't think you are losing too much there and those gear levels can be easily replaced. The part where you will lose the most time is getting AA, Leia, and STH shards back up to current levels, since they all come from Arena.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
