Galactic Legends pointless requirements

In every event we have ever done, you never had to level and gear up a full faction, you only had to level and gear up people needed for the event itself. I expected the event to be the entire story and require you to use Finn and Rose and Holdo and even have a ship battle involved. What we got was not on that level. As it stands I'm more impressed by the hero journeys then I am what we got with the galactic legends.
