The first time I played it I completed it...barely. The second and now third and fourth attempts I can't get past 6 stages. The people I am playing against are way ahead of me. It just doesn't make sense. Has anyone else been able to progress? Do you know how they pick the opponents? Can I make it easier so I can get rewards, lol?

lol, pretty much
I noticed this in arena also. my poor Talia and JC get wiped much more quickly by opponents immediately following my first Chewie tanking run. Conversely, my offense cant seem to kill their healers in between their Chewie shouts. My noob freebie squad is just not cutting it anymore. I can only hope to stay in the top 2500 to get my 400 "whatever-the-name-of-the-currency-you-get-in-arena"
I managed to beat GW today at L42 for the first time... a few scary moments along the way for sure. There is some measure of luck in the opponents you draw, so that is another factor.
May the Force be with you.
today only 2 levels above me so I was happy to actually complete it again.
as far as i can tell its random. but i noticed one team with the name Mol Eliza was like level 48 which i didn't beat at the time, but later on I added someone with the same name and he was only 40? (currently 43 - I just checked.)
so I think they get a buff? which might explain the insanely high level gap the other day.
You can beat teams many levels above you. Look for strategy threads and follow them.
I just think it should progressively get harder and not be so random. If we are having to base it on strategy then I am going to have to lvl up multiple versatile characters for any situation which is going to take A LOT of time without $.
I like this about it, it means I have reasons to care about more than just my top 5 characters. But I agree that a bit less randomness would be good. It should be more progressive, not 55 and then 42.
From the looks of it on my end is that it is forever progressive. Now that I think about it from where I started it kept going up and then when I reset it picked up where I left off...yesterday I got to the point were I couldn't go any further and now today the first one is right there.
Pretty sure the teams are randomly composed and named... I know I saw "Mol Eliza" in my (successful) GW run yesterday and I'm only L42. I don't think it's the same "people," anyhow.

I switch teams a lot, I wonder if someone faced my all healer team (Barriss, Lumi, Old Daka, Ewok Elder, Consular) as I was just hitting Chewie to get all my CDs back to 0 and beat that node (maybe 4th or 5th node in).
Does seem to be the last node can sometimes be the easiest as some folks are using backups at that point and that the 2nd to last node is hardest since that's usually when your best team comp may win but lose too many on the way?
I don't know for sure of course, would be good to get some more info on how it works exactly.
Needless to say, I'm pretty ****..putting soft launch people against hard launch players doesn't make any sense but ok..I guess I'll have better luck tomorrow.
BUT! I think the most important thing to have is a REALLY good dmg dealer. FOTP has made my team and often Kills one enemy every round. If not he softens them up for someone else to kill them.
Luckily everyone -should- be enjoying his prowess come January.
EDIT: One thing I have noticed is I don't think everyone is upgrading their gear as much as they should. If you are struggling, be sure to get your top 5 in level 5 gear asap.
