Legendary Difficulty Philosophy

I believe it was difficult as a tradeoff for not having any panic farm involved. You could beat it with all F2P characters there were 2+ years old and with retries, could be done with an average gearing of 11 or less (i've seen some geat it with 1 g8/9 character and just Boba G12). Every other legendary or journey toon you had some element of a panic farm (phoenix for Thrawn or vets for RJT) or really hard character to farm at that time (single hard node toon, raid exclusive character, etc.). That's what I see as unique this time anyway that could justify the increase in difficulty. In prior events, the difficulty hurdle was becoming eligible for the event; this event everyone is eligible cause of the lack of rarity of the toons. If they later combine a panic farm with this high of gear requirements, than we all grab the pitchforks and torches :)
