Ewoks or Old Ben/Yoda for Commander Luke Skywalker?

I would say it's weird if we needed ewoks. Luke only met them in the last movie where he already was a Jedi.

Commander Luke is from Hoth. That's long, long before the entrance of Ewoks into Luke's story. They hinted that we'll need characters involved in his story between the beginning of ANH and the escape from the Death Star before the end of ANH; that would be Luke, Obi Wan, STH, Leia, and perhaps R2 or Han Solo, depending on whether they want to gate Commander Luke behind a legendary or raid character, which many people may not have. It's even possible that you might need Jawas, Tuskens, and maybe even Vader/Stormtrooper, but I find that much less likely.

I'm thinking we will need these new Hoth toons to unlock him. I could be wrong though.

So we have this series of Luke events going on.

The first was more or less the first part of A New Hope. Jawa, Tuskens, and Luke.

What is likely to be the next one?
Well, it's either going to be the space portion of EP IV, or it will be EP V.

Now Jawa weren't exactly Luke's allies at any point in A New Hope so whoever is required could merely be standers by rather than Luke's companions. The only assumption I would make is who it wouldn't be: his enemies.

Now Luke was actually rescued in EP V by Lando, Leia, R2, and C3P0,

At the end of EP IV he was fighting in ships with Han, Biggs, Wedge, and R2.

Old Ben died before Luke got rid of his rifle, so I don't see it requiring him.
Ewoks didn't appear until Return of the Jedi (Jedi Luke, not Rebel Luke), so I don't see it being them.


TLDR; It's not Old Ben or Ewoks, it's some form of Rebels. This is (Rebel) Commander Luke we are going for here. The event to unlock will be an homage to him becoming such.

+1 , I was finding it odd that you would need Ewoks for "Hoth Luke". Hoth Rebel Scout, and Wedge were also both on Hoth.

Perhapes 5star "new luke" is commander luke... 7star is "Jedi Knight Luke" which you would need Ewoks for. It is somewhat Ironic however as Luke never actually fought with the Ewoks.

Your assessment is ok... but an important point to be noticed is that whenever the pushed up a faction pass.. that faction was needed for a character next .. empire for r2, phoenix for thrawn .... Why should they depart from this strategy that got them plenty of money by desperate players who were unprepared? I feel that Ewoks will be required for Luke in some form or the other. Also I feel they will ask you to use farm boy luke too.. since the new ewoks aren't going to be free to play for a while...

We will need whatever they announce the day before the event to unlock him, not to worry though they will sell packs for you to pick up those characters...

Meh, I don't really find it ironic. He is basically the one that forced the Ewoks to Ally with them (though the Ewoks would see it as C-3P0 doing so).

I may be right or wrong but this is the strategy which CG have been using and I don't expect them to change it.

I don't have r2 or han yet, and my empire squad is a long way away from getting r2 as I haven't been focusing on them at all. Idk this is so freaking frustrating trying to figure out what they're planning on doing. I've wasted 3 cantina refreshes on chirpa then
