Speed matters but you also want potency to land to help with stuns, offense down, shock, etc.

And now I'm almost broke from upgrading my speed mods :/

I tried for a whole week when I got mine this summer to 7 stars finally. It’s strategy just like the Thrawn event. My team had EP gear 10, Vader 10, Tarkin 10, TFP 8 and Magma 7. The key is to take down R2 as fast as possible. I did this by shocking people whenever possible. Using Tarkin’s intimidation tactics and then following that up with the culling blade from Vader. Use tarkin’s aoe to take down turn meter. Key is to keep that intimidation tactics on before hitting with the culling blade and EP’s basic. If I remember correctly, they fell like dominoes after R2 went down.

So have Tarkin go first, then EP, then Vader? And Tarkin's AOE is kinda wasted here, since at Tier VII they are immune to any TMR :/

One thing I learned quickly was to avoid using Vader's Culling Blade unless it was going to be a kill shot. Keeping all those negative status effects in play really boosts TFP's damage. I didn't realized that at first because I had never previously used TFP.

EDIT: Of course, you don't have TFP so disregard what I just said.
