From where I sit, enough with the hype, enough with the cryptic remarks, enough with the cutesy teaser memes... just...enough already. Give us a firm timeline on when the event begins/ends and I don't think it's asking too much for you to give us enough lead time on the needed toons for the CLS event. This is Groundhog/Thrawn day all over again, one would think lessons were learned. FWIW, I have just about all the toons ready to roll (Luke still at 6*, can reasonably get him to 7* on time) but I'm empathizing here with people who are bringing up quite valid misgivings.

That is coming straight from the mouths of the "I can get him, so everyone else needs to stop complaining" people. Anyone who was smart with their farming or didnt start off playing this game in 2015 didnt have Luke or Old Ben ready. Ewoks were fun, whatever, but this is just terrible communication on their part when it comes to parts of the game that actually matter. And I know for a fact my opinion on this does not stand alone.

I don't really want everyone having him straight away. would make the event pointless. and in some ways not special.. .I didn't get 7* thrawn, I don't have gk, at least let me enjoy having cls. I don't think we should have much lead time at all on these events. 12 mins after he was released people had him max gear. where is the fun in that ? this game was about collecting and choosing a path. now everyone has everyone (just about) which I think takes away alot if the fun.

IMHO, the event started when we were all given Luke shards to unlock 2 months ago. Should've been farming the main characters from ANH since then of you didn't already have them.Edit: typo.

Didn't we get like 3 weeks to farm up the Phoenix Squad toons?

They lost money from me by making it only last 7 days... Not enough time to get old Ben where I need him, even with the $20 pack and $100 worth of crystals. How is that possible? Because I've been scrambling to get R2 to 7 stars and haven't been able to even start Old Ben. OTOH, making it only seven days is probably genius because the people who are 120-150 shards away from 7 star Ben will probably now buy the $20 pack.

I feel you mate, I'm in exactly the same position. Was hoping for at least 9 or 10 days.

Yeah, it's all good though... At least now I can keep my streak of being free-to-play going. I'll get him next time for sure, when everyone gets him

Why should we get a firm event time line ? its more fun when it random... even though it means more complaining beeches on the forum

I too was ready to open my wallet for Leia, old Ben and extra crystals. Now I won't buy any packs or crystals because it would not matter if I can't get them up in time.
I'll just take my time, save €65, and get him next time, free.

truth be told, others not getting him makes getting him more "special". I do sympathize with my guild mates who can't get him, but on the other hand i'm glad it's not a hand out.
Making "reasonable" posts about why it's a bad thing that they didn't provide a proper time line etc etc is fine by me, but if you're really reasonable you understand why they don't.
