I am free F2P player and have been playing since launch.
I have been waiting for this event like everyone else. Been farming the heck out of the toons needed to get CLS...but requiring them to be geared out and at such a high level is ridiculous.
I can't even get past the 2nd tier and I have Luke 6*, Han 7* Ben 4*, R2 5*, Leia4* - all past gear VII at least with good mods....
If this is how future events are going to be in terms of requirements - it's not as much fun to just farm with no 'reward' or waiting for "rare" events to circle back.
Also, giving us 2 weeks to grab what we need to get R2 and then get the others for Hero's Journey up to level is near impossible without spending big bucks ....
Too bad - it's a fun game!
