My personal opinion is that BB8 shouldn't be a legendary event. He's not deserving of it. The past events like this, Yoda, Palp, Thrawn, R2... they are all fan favorite, iconic, time period kit worthy kind of toons. Someone like Yoda and Palp don't have as much use as they did when they came out in those events, but at that time, they were great toons. BB8 imo doesn't fit that bill. Sure he's great for raids. But for a legendary toon, he should be great for all areas of the game imo. I feel this was a waste of a legendary toon using FO. They could have used FO for a toon that had a better all around kit like the other legendary toons and maybe have the toon be more important or iconic to the series than BB8. In that regard, I'm very disappointed with this event. And the fact it took all of 6 minutes to play.

I'm guessing you don't have a good Resistance team. If you did, you'd see.

BB8 is good for raids and should be for TB. He's not high end, top 20 arena viable. And resistance doesn't hold at all on defense. They get slaughtered. My point was that with the other legendary events, each of those toons were arena viable as well as PVE viable. BB8 seems very much a PVE only toon and won't help in the top end of arena. Plus, there's the iconic toon factor I also mentioned. How many people feel that he's on the same lvl as Yoda, Palp, Thrawn or R2 as far as iconic or fan favorite?

Imo, BB8 should be more of a marquee event release toon or something g similar to that than a legendary event toon. I don't h e any problems at all with BB8 being released with the kit he has. I just personally feel it should have been in a different kind of event than a legendary event.
