Threepio is possible to not have any Ewok synergies. So you need to build a team separate from one he will be going on.
It’s less about what faction vs faction, and more about investments. Making Theeepio not useful in his unlocking squad means to get max value out of him, you’ll need 9 characters. That’s the whole intent.
I thought this game encouraged farming opposite factions through events like these.
It has never been stated that legendary events will require the “opposite” faction to unlock. It has been stated that going forward, legendaries will require a “different” faction from the legendary toon. Since Threepio is not an Ewok, using Ewoks to unlock him is totally consistent with that. There is literally nothing surprising about this. I know this because people have been speculating literally since the new Ewoks were announced that they’d be needed for Threepio eventually. If you’re surprised, it’s because you weren’t paying attention.
Certainly there have been people who, even knowing all this, still placed their bets that Jawas or Tuskens or Troopers, or something else would be required for the eventual Threepio release. I’m sure those people are disappointed, but they have no reason to be surprised.

Well in my view it's also totally consistent to use Imperial Troopers to unlock Threepio, because they are as much tied to C-3PO trying to capture him, as are the Ewoks trying to defend him at the battle of Endor!

This is absolutely lopsided favoritism in their game design. LS unlocks everything or gets everything free. This is the third one that is LS only. DS has NOTHING that is DS only. It’s just never ending marquee after marquee and LS outnumbering DS by an even greater number. If they wanted to make the ewoks needed for something, it should have been a legendary Imperial Trooper of some kind. Imp troopers including range should have been needed for “capturing” C-3PO just like they did with Imperials and R2. The favoritism is beyond question, I just want BALANCE. The player base isn’t lopsided LS fans, but apparently CG is.
It's times like this I'm glad I don't care about LS or DS.

It sounds like someone didn't farm ewoks.
Honest answer for why it's not troopers: literally everyone has well geared troopers for TB. No money to be made.
A new trooper or imperial of some kind could have been used to panic farm ewoks and ensure $ intake. It’s not hard to come up with ways to incentivize spending but it’s hard for CG to do it right because they don’t have anyone making unbaised decisions. With all the new toons added, nobody could claim they didn’t have time for one more.

Wait. What? Why would we need a trooper to farm ewoks??
We could’ve used troopers to fight Threepio, Ewoks, and Rebels on the forest moon of Endor. So if they had released a new trooper, lots of people would've started farming troopers and then find out they need to be farming Ewoks instead of troopers. Then they would panic farm Ewoks because they were misdirected by troopers.

My way leads to more enjoyment of a game that many here seem to absolutely hate, yet keep playing anyway.
