I always thought the Rebels vs the Empire was like David (Rebels) vs Goliath (Empire), but when i look in inventory its 18 Rebels vs 10 Empire ... George Lucas made it look wrong.
Left by design.
The fixed payout times are the worst part of this game and makes it absolutely family-unfriendly.

Empire changed a lot with EP and TP but you need ST which is P2P only (don't kid yourselves, tournaments were either old shard or P2P people. Also up to a week ago EP was pretty exclusive.
Then of course came Chaze, two more P2P toons.
So if you take out the P2P toons, then you are back to Rebels > Empire cause Biggs tripple will just kill EP then the match is over.
We got seven Rebels from Rogue One, which is two too many for a full team. Why bother with Bistan and Pathfinder if they can't even fit in the full Rogue One team? Last year we got five First Order and five Resistance which allowed for a full team for both factions. This year we got seven Rebels to one Imperial.
Technically, there's 5 Empire from Rogue One in the game, 2 of which are new and had more screen time than Bistan: Tie Fighter Pilot, Shoretrooper, Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Stormtrooper.
On the game side, tbh, I am quite interested in how Empire fares now. That Vader Zeta ability seems SICK. And there are some potentially very strong Empire characters like Tie Fighter Pilot, but need to be placed in teams strategically otherwise they wont be strong.
And fully agree that there are not enough Empire characters. Sith are enough though, as there were never many Siths to begin with (in the Palpatine timeline).
This guy... How old are you?
Come to the dark side.
Play Vader, EP, RG , Boba, Tie Fighter pilot, maybe Darth Maul and u will happy in long therm .
And B team can be droids - very good as B team and for AAT raid.
He was worth all that time and effort to get too, as he pushed me into arena top 10, and today I even got number 1. Running EP, Vader, RG, TFP, Shore, and I step all over the tons of wiggs/lando/StHan and droid teams in my arena.
Honestly if you were able to get Shore, empire is better than wiggs, and I'm unsure how it fares against chaze and other R1 rebels (about 3 people on my arena shard have them all, some are even geared, but they just don't use them for some reason, obviously they don't keep track of the meta too well). Based on that I would say rebels and empire are about equal in terms of best squads, unless R1 rebels own empire completely. Still feel like empire needs a few more toons to balance the numbers though, some of us like the dark side too EA/CG.
Never!
