With the difficulty of the Chewbacca event being so high, I'm curious about CG's philosophy of new legendary events moving forward. What is the philosophy behind the Chewbacca event? Why so difficult? Is this going to be the new difficulty of all legendary events moving forward? G12 takes a long time for me to get to, even with 3 refreshes/day. I think it takes me roughly a month to get a single character to G12, so with 12 per year at that rate, is CG adding steps to make that grind faster? Anything CG is able to share at this point in time?

I don’t think legendary toons should be handed out like Halloween candy like they did in the past. I managed to get Chewie but I doubt I will have enough time to gear and star the Kotor toons for the next Legendary.
the event is not difficult if you have Payed to have Bossk. it's only difficult for those who doesn't have it. The philiosphy of the game : Marquee, then Marquee, again Marquee, Whale Legendary Event (You need a marquee) then Marquee, again Marquee, again Marquee, Hero Whale Journey (Chewee 7 stars required + 2 or 3 Marquee)n then Marquee, Marquee .....
What r you talking about dude? I'm F2P and got 7* G12 zBossk for about 2 weeks just by farming him from hard node 24 battles per day. And why do you think that they should make some giveaway with g8-9 requirements? I cannot say that g8-9 reqs isn't giveaway cuz u can up all 5 characters from 0 to g8 in a single day. In this legendary u need only 5 old characters even without Bossk just with g12 gear. Maybe it's hard for new players, but...this is the game, play longer or pay money thats how it works u cant get everything within few months just by tapping few times on ur screen/day. Here's a lot of people who play this game for 3 yeas and we don't wanna log in and take one more "free" legendary, we want some challenge, objective, what to do next, who to farm next to get that legendary.
I think the point is that most people needed to either spend to have Bossk 7* now or spending a huge portion of their energy on him (480/725 if you get 3x refreshes and hit all free energy), including the required crystals to refresh. I’ve been doing the “classic” farm (no refreshes) and have only got him to 5*. Either way, you have to have spent at least some crystals on him, even if it’s a small amount per day rather that a huge chunk all at once. Yes, you can do that FTP, but if you haven’t been playing since day 1 you’re probably trading that for other needed farms (either hard nodes that you don’t have enough energy for or slow cantina that you don’t have crystals for extra energy).
you have to choose where to spend your energy and crystals everyday in the game. That's pretty much the point.
I and some others chose to focus farm bossk when the event was announced. It paid off but that wasn't hard ti predict. It did set my bastilla farming back but I'll recover. In fact, that isn't too hard because now I don't need to farm bossk since I was farming him anyway.
Those that chose not to focus, only have themselves to blame if they wanted a 7 star chewie and didn't get one because they didn't focus.
And there is no way to make it where new players won't have an opportunity cost from trying to get a brand new legendary they aren't close to. I'm sure they'll be some that were hard farming vets and stopped for bossk, that may regret it if jtr comes next month. But that's a choice they made.
And you don't have to be a day 1 player to catch up on legendary characters. I started in November 2016 and caught up and finally got a legendary the first go around. You just have to focus and eventually you'll have them all and have more freedom to focus on possible speculation.
For example, I'm farming all the kotor toons next and can do that because I'm done playing catch up. Eventually newer players will get thete too but it is unreasonable to think that brand new players are going to unlock the newest legendary without some opportunity cost.

Which 65% of your posts continue to point out...we get it bra.
This was my roster with the exception of 88 getting bumped up to G12 when I finally won. Note that I had a total of five zetas. This challenge was still hard as hell and took several hours of refreshes for me to beat.
I have mixed feelings about this legendary and what I assume to be the legendaries to come.
I started my gamble on bounty hunters a way back. I’m a humble dolphin — probably $40 spent on the game in total, but I thought they’d be necessary for a Jango Fett legendary. So I started building aggressively. The lion’s share of my resources went into these scumbags. So yeah, I felt entitled to SOMETHING for my trouble (and minor expense) when a legendary requiring hunters came out.
With five zetas across four bounty hunters, the entire pack G12 with the exception of Zam (G11), I did not expect the difficulty to be this brutal. It seems the lack of Dengar and Cad handicapped me a good bit.
Reward should match the effort. I agree with that. But to take someone that’s made the effort/sacrifice and beat them up for fifty-plus (probably way more, but at LEAST that many) matches before they get what they’ve earned is a bit much.

No you werent.
Perhaps what you mean is "i was able to unlock a 5* chewbacca with only one g12 character"
You did not unlock the full character.
5* is useless for most raids and events. You think 5* is going to cut it for jedi luke unlock?
How many legendarys before this have REQUIRED full 5x G12 squads?.... (Zero.)
Game Changer Ahnald 101 did it with only Boba GS12 and netted a 7* Chewie.
And before you go medieval on people, the poster did say he unlocked Chewie. That implies 5* which is the unlock. I got 6* Chewie on my second go with GS12 Boba lead. I am working on 7* now. I keep getting Chewie and Han down but ROLO always lands her ability block on Boba which I then can’t execute which is failure.
Its a mobile game.
Its DAY THREE of the event. How many retries have you done to get this far??
How many more to get 7*? When you say its "doable" with less then the absolute ceiling i believe you but we differ on what acceptable as far as how many times lower tier people are expected to repeat the event to scrape in a 5 or 6* chewie which we both know will not be suffcient to unlock a 330 shard jedi luke.
And as i posted elsewhere a g12 requirement for legendarys is no good. You use entirely different factions to unlock legendary characters.
If you dont want to collect an entire faction at G12 just to unlock a legendary character from the faction you DID want..well your screwed.
I keep thinking back to thrawn or CLS and if i had been forced to level OT rebels or pheonix this much well.. i never would have gotten those 2. I dont like or use either faction past unlocking the final lightside worlds and the events etc they are required for.....There is no way in hell i would gear either team to g10 let alone 11-12 i went without CLS for a long time because i just didnt want to spend credits and gear on toons i had skipped at the start lke farmboy and leia who were needed for the event but absolutely useless to me afterwards
Most people playing this game dont have 50 retries of an event in them.. most people think because they get absolutely reamed in the first couple goes that it is beyond their progression level and go back to the drawing board
Im at 74/85 bossk shards and farming my last 11 before i even bother trying 6* again.
Should i have started panic farming bossk right from day1? Yes but i have been doing his hard node every day since it came out and refreshed A BIT but not a full on..
I think the communitys main problem was the teaser and how it announced WHO was used to unlock chewie.. people were told any 5 BH and took that in good faith. What we have been delivered is anything but.

This right here, I've read through a lot of the posts in this thread. Many have said If you didn't have Bossk you stood no chance. BS, I had Bossk (zeta'd) G12. Got my but waxed at the last tier. Still have not 7*
This poor guy ? invested, IMO, one super strong BH team. He should have entered the event and pressed Auto. Then Chewie falls in his lap.
That's alot of resources, to still have extreme difficulty. Typically a leadership zeta would allow a G10 team to 7* this event. But I'm willing to part with that. But high gear toons with 5 ZETAS, should be well worth 7* Chewie, with out a doubt (unfortunately it's only my opinion)
Part of the issue was this event was heavily targeted towards Dengar. It was meant for Bossk and Degar to be in your roster to succeed.
I've decided that 6* Chewie is fine with me: I'm not in a HSR guild, I have Gen Kenobi at 7* and my guild mostly have him at 7*. I also have Raid Han 7*. For arena, Traya is the boss. You can shut down Chewie with ease with isolate or daze. So the only other place to make use of him is TB and TW which I can still use him at 6*. But this is still no excuse for the difficulty of this event. I guess they had to make sure to many don't get him and break the future of this game ?

I farmed bossk like normal from when he came out and focus farmed him during the bonus drops and in the few days before them. Basically from when they announced the legendary. And that was plenty to get im to 7 star. So, no yoy didn't need to panic farm him from day one.
And to be honest, if you didn't think tbat bossk or one of the other new bhs would make the event easier, I don't know what to tell you. Based on the business model of the game and reading his kit, it was obvious that he would be an asset. I'm sorry yoy chose not to get him to 7 stars but that isn't anyone's fault but yours.
And it is entirely up to you how many retries you are willing to do. There are typically two ways to unlock a character. Either you farm and over gear a squad so it is easy or you do retries. Which one you choose is up to you. Depends how badly you want 7 star chewie I guess.
They just don’t want to spend any time testing and tuning the event. Just give everyone ridiculous speed, a non-canon combination that makes it ridiculous hard, design it to just be a random luck of the draw event that you have to sit through a boring cut scene 90 thousand times so the person that spent time making it gets their jollies.
Nothing about this event was designed well. At least Thrawn gives you some trash mob waves to build up the uniques. This event just ignores all the mechanics that BH relies on and totally just drops a dump truck of feces on the players.
the difficulty only depend if you have or not Bossk. with Bossk it's an easy event, withour Bossk, dont even bother trying to have Chewee 7 stars. Play Loto instead .... I have Boba G12 and all the others G11

Or read the guide how to beat the event w/o Bossk..
The guide wich says to put a max of Potency and focus Chewee ? I simply would like to play the first round withour having any death (my potency : 52.4 + 103 + 91.84 + 81.5 + 85.41 = 414.15) set DC/CC on Boba with +93 speed. the lowest speed is +53. and no, they still resist and I have 2 dead after I can evzen play. It even happen that Boba does not crot with more then 100% crit chance .. Why have I bothered gearing up BH if only Bossk is required ? otherwise and from all the video I have seen. it's RNG depend
