No luck yet for 7*, but thanks for checking in Jml727. The most I have been able to do is knock out the Stormtrooper through a counter. Unfortunately, I can see the effect of underdeveloped characters--I'll be able to increase all 5 to level 74 tomorrow, but that doesn't allow me to hit the 76, 78, 80 (most important), and 82 levels and Omega them. I will say that in line with what @Vendi1983 said above, I was pleasantly surprised a few minutes ago when I geared Chopper up to Gear IX. Hitting upgrade increased the health from 15039 to 15116, but the protection was increased from 17467 to 25073. Ezra (currently 14853 health, 11409 protection) will hit Gear IX tomorrow as soon as I hit level 74 and Hera (15587, 12912) has five gear slots filled (the sixth she shares with Ezra and I would need to get the requisite raid gear in time to get her sixth slot filled and have her up to Gear IX as well). Kanan and Zeb are probably lost causes to try to get to Gear IX by the end of the event since both would need 5 gear slots filled.
