I am the lucky one who doesn’t love Revan

A toon you get left behind without.

There's a fallacy working here.

There are only two areas in the game where players are ranked, squad and fleet arena, making those the only places where you can be "left behind." Raids have rankings, but ultimately boil down to a binary Can Your Guild Do It Or Not. If you can do it, then having Revan just means you'll do it faster (but not more often, since you're still limited by things like tickets and time limits) but otherwise doesn't affect much.

Revan doesn't have a ship, so has no effect on fleet arena.

The only people who are going to get Revan the first time are people who spend a whole bunch of money, which means they're already at the top of their arena leaderboards (Or they're a weirdo who likes to spend a bunch of money and stay in the top 500). So them getting this shiny new character won't actually change the leaderboard. You won't be left behind because you were already behind them to begin with. You're going to stay exactly where you are.

Now it's the second time Revan comes around that you need to plan for. That's when the light spenders or the determined non-spenders are going to get them and they're the people you're actually competing against.
