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.
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...
Well, I would disagree with 2 of your points:
First is that Phoenix got a faction pass before the Thrawn event. They were released onto the board, not reworked.
Second is that this event will be a legendary event. We are going to unlock Luke through Flash Event style events. They said they would release New Lukes only "through something special". Legendary events are nice and all, but there's a lot of those now. Luke will get something different.
The first Luke event was a flash event and they said it was the first in a "series of events" to unlock new iterations of him. It's going to be a flash event style thing. The way to 7 star him is going to be by logging in often enough to get all the shards you can. Then there will be packs before he ends up getting added to territory battles.
