New Events System

• A key feature in this update is a brand new Events system. This system replaces the old Key Card Events, and will enable our designers to craft a wide variety of Event types, structures, and themes.
  
• To provide interesting and challenging scenarios, the new system can restrict the type, number, category, and rarity of units eligible for a given Event.
  
• Events can allow limitless attempts, a limited number of attempts, or be non-repeatable.
  
• Most Events are expected to be available for a limited time. An exception are the Training Droid and Credits Events which were previously available in the Key Card system. Those two events will also be available in the new Events system, and are expected to always be available.
  
• A limited time Event can re-appear at a later date after its time limit has expired. Players' progress will be saved from previous attempts.
  
• As part of this change, the old Key Card collection table has been removed.
  

First Event – Featuring a New Character!

• One of the most-frequently requested characters is now available! In this inaugural Event, players can Battle to win Shards for this character in their customized training Battles.
  

• This Event features seven stages which must be unlocked progressively. Only Jedi units are allowed. The requirements for each Stage are also based on the star rarity of the Jedi units.
  
• The first Battle in this Event requires five Jedi which are 1 Star or above. Completing that Battle will award Shards of the new character, and unlock Stage 2.
  
• Stage 2 requires five Jedi which are 2 Star or above, and so on up to Stage 7 which requires five Jedi at 7 Stars to get the final Shards needed to Promote the new character to 7 Stars! Once players have completed Stage 5, they will have enough Shards to Activate the new character at 5 Stars.
  
• This Event is planned to be available for a week, and then unavailable for a number of weeks, and then available again for a week, etc. This approach will give players multiple opportunities to progress in the Event, with time in between to prepare as needed.
  
• This will be the only place to gain Shards of the new character. The new character is not expected to be for sale or acquirable elsewhere in the game.
  

@EA_Jesse , does this event have a lvl 52 requirement to unlock it just like the current Magnet battles? If so, I'll have to grind my levels before even farming 5 Jedis (or while farming them). I'm currently level 48...
