Hey guys, I was farming old ben until the faction pass for ewoks, after which I became conflicted about what we would probably need to get luke (my favorite character in Star Wars besides maybe obi-wan, depends on the day honestly). What is everyone else doing? I'm just really frustrated because I want to get luke asap and I don't want to prepare the wrong toons.

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.

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.

Ewoks or Old Ben/Yoda for Commander Luke Skywalker?

That's actually kind of obvious if you think about it. This isn't the first event... it's the second.

Actually, that was copy/pasted from the most recent announcement a few days ago. The initial announcement for the very first Luke flash event was:
"You’ve all been waiting and it’s finally begun. It’s time to prepare for the Hero's Journey! Use these gifts to help Luke prepare for his Hero's Journey as he embarks on the path to become a member of the forgotten Jedi Order.
Where is this journey leading? And what’s in store? We’ll find out more in August."
You can see that the Tatooine -> escape from Death Star is only stated right at the time that they talk about unlocking CLS.

Regardless, Luke, Obi-Wan, STH, and Leia are the most obvious first targets to farm. If you include the end of ANH and the beginning of ESB, in addition to all the secondary and enemy characters I've previously mentioned, you'd have to include Wedge and Biggs, HRSo and HRSc, Snowtrooper, Veers... even theoretically the new Hoth Han and Hoth Leia.
That lengthened list of characters to farm is a bit untenable.

It's not too bad. Just realize you can pretty much ignore anybody from before the Death Star battle and it should be good.

Wait, what? How on earth do you think that his hero's journey ignores 3/4 of the time before he becomes CLS?

No, the current description was copy/pasted from the first Luke flash event. What you just showed there was the letter that came with our free gift of Luke Shards, gear, etc.

Again, this should be obvious since this is the 2nd event, and the description says the 1st event covers from the start of a new hope until the escape from the death star...

Okay, well that event is already over. So this second event must come from afterwards. The time frame we are looking at is the tail end of A New Hope, and some/all of ESB. Maybe they'll even skip ahead to use Ewoks for RoTJ. but I hope that ESB and RotJ each have their own iteration of Luke.

I wonder will his X-Wing be involved?

We need to stop assuming that this version is coming from Hoth for two reasons

1. In the comics (set between ANH and ESB) Luke is referred to as commander Luke Skywalker, whilst wearing his yellow jacket costume from the end of ANH
2. Why are they called 'Hoth Han' and 'Hoth Leia' but not 'Hoth Luke'?

If this is really being dragged out, which I think it is, there is a log period of time before ESB which is unaccounted for in the films, so expect the unexpected.

In regard to farming, I've got Luke level 85 7 stars and enough gear sitting around to get him to 10 if needed. From the original heroes journey post, it seems pretty clear that he will be needed, but as for who with? I wouldn't be surprised if it was just Luke required, but farming those relevant to him in the films would probably be the best idea. That being said, the timing of the ewoks is very suspicious...

No, actually, it wasn't. Here's the announcement of the first flash event:
"NEW! Trouble on Tatooine Flash Event
Our first Flash Event Begins MAY 25th and takes you to the harsh desert planet of Tatooine. This lawless world holds many dangers and mysteries, especially for moisture farmers. To participate in this multi-tiered event, task Luke Skywalker with inspecting the perimeter of the farm as you join forces with Jawas to square off against marauding Tusken Raiders."
And the actual text of the event was:
"Tatooine holds many dangers and mysteries. Check the perimeter of the farm and surrounding regions with LUKE SKYWALKER and ensure everything is safe."

Lol, no. The first event is basically a prequel to the events of ANH, it didn't even get us to Obi-Wan, let alone off Tatooine and onto the Death Star. It's more than obvious that the Trouble on Tatooine event was basically a test of the flash event system, and that the real hero's journey has yet to begin. In that sense, we still haven't had the real first event of the series.

And now you're just being ridiculous. Commander Luke is ESB Luke. There's no way that they'd use Ewoks from RotJ to unlock ESB Luke.

I wouldn't necessarily expect the names to stay as "Hoth Han" and "Hoth Leia" when they're finally released. Han, for example, is Captain Solo at that point, though Leia is theoretically just an ex-Senator with no particular military rank, but operating as a political leader of the Rebellion.

If it's characters from Episode 4 I would go Farmboy Luke, Stormtrooper Han, Princess Leia, Wedge and Biggs as they are all characters a lot of the player base will have. If a 6th character is required as we are given a Luke to use during the event I would go Old Ben.

Ok. Believe what you want. That text was copy/pasted from that first event. I remember it. There were all sorts of posts about that event including one in the event information that no longer exists where we can see it. That's where they copy/pasted it from. It's true, but unproveable and not disproveable. Take my word for it or don't. I'm sure other people remember it too, maybe they can chime in. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm certain either way.
