The new assault battle brings to mind that many of the beginning players have already aquired 7* Vader, and will have no need for 10 Vader shards. It's time to replace him in the lifetime achievements and introduce a new set of levels to gain a different exclusive character. Gen. Kenobi would be a good candidate.

GK is not a good idea. People get him from the tank raid. There's no need to add another place to earn his shards.
Jedi Luke would be good but if they don't add more achievements then it will be a very long time before anybody has him.
Could be an alternative to the tournaments as well
That's brilliant. I change my answer to this.
There's more to this game than us.
He's easier to get in fleet shipments now so achievements aren't as special as they once were.
What would be cool is if they changed it so that after Vader is 7 stars achievements grant a new character.
F an A!
1 grevious shard = bantha poodoo .... can't believe i wasted my time unlocking grevious, gearing him and him defying the laws of physics by suckingandblowing simultaneously.
Got him halway to 6* and gonna stat that way until he gets reworked.
I used to root for him...but totally and utterly abandoned him when tank raid came out and i see that awesome grevious vs. our super cruddy grevious... #iwassomad
While I like this idea, there are also people with his ship at 7* and once we get more and more chances at vader's ship blueprints eventually we will all have his ship at 7* too. It's a nice idea, but doesn't really solve the problem eternally as there are other ways to get vader's ship (the tournament, and maybe more later). Jedi Luke (Another extremely iconic character) would make a good alternative for a new achievement farm which would push people to really achieve the 7* vader goal.
Except Grievous is also in fleet shipments, which renders the shard shop basically a dumb way to farm grievous in the long run. Much better for raid gear at this point.
He's a pilot. It looks like all the characters in fleet are pilots, or have been datamined to eventually be pilots. Which, now that I think about the implications of that, makes me want to save up for when Jyn gets in there.
There are notable exceptions (TIE Pilot and FOTP are both missing) but from that point of view, Vader's inclusion makes sense.
Err... All characters are bad at 5* compated to 7*. I have Greivous at 6*, gear 10, and he's ludicrous
In my experience--which I admit isn't universal--it's still faster through Shard Shop. I get about 1 GG shard a day (ie: one 5 shard shipment every 5 days) using GW tokens, and about 0.5 a day (ie: one 5 shard shipment every 10 days) from fleet.
I thought it'd be easy to get the last 100 shards for his final star, but all this time later I was sitting at 50 before switching back to GW tokens. Now I'm at 70, withonly 5 of those coming from fleet.
i wouldn't mind this at all!
This ^^. You have to think of the view from the bottom. New players are still building him up. They can make a lot of progress On Vader before they even unlock ships.
New achievements with a new character would be great.
