Next epic confrontation

What is your theory for the next epic confrontation?

Here's a few things to consider from the malak event

1. Required two ancient journey characters and their requirements
2. Requirements needed to be 17,500 power
3. Short notice (one to two days)
4. The event only ran a week
5. But the event was teased at the end of the second journey event that was required.
6. The requirements made sense with the event and fit with the lore


Now the devs have said they were already working on the next epic confrontation and they were ironing out the attributes that it will share with the malak event. So the question is what will it be?
And when?

I personally think we are some time from the next one. Already planning doesn't mean immediately coming. They were likely planning malak this time last year.

So here's my two guesses

1. A future event with ep3 darth sideous. General Skywalker would bebthe first journey requing asoka and 501st clones. Then we'd get 501st stormtroopers and get the ds version. Then the epic confrontation woukd be a what if confrontation with the emperor.
2. Ep 9 content. We'll get some marques leading to another Rey journey and then later another few marques leading to a kru journey. Then an epic confrontation with emperor Palpatine from ep 9 (obviously could be different depending on uow the movie goes)

But those are just my ideas. They both follow at least most of the attributes that malak set. And most other theories I've seen don't make sense because they follow few if any of those.

  • Releasing two more journeys before the next epic confrontation pushes it to episode IX territory.

    I'd rather say that they either scrap the two legendary/journey requirement but keep/increase the GP thresholds or one of the required teams is GR with Padmé.

    I just don't see padme and her requirements fitting. I just can't an event that makes sense using her and her requirements together. I suppose they could make it her and galactic republic but that would be straying pretty far from the "epic confrontation" attributes. From what they have said, they are likely to stray from them but I think that means that it'll be at least 4 of the above 6. And padme being needed doesn't match any of them.

    If the only similarity is short notice, then that is just a cop out.

    I could see padme being needed if we got another separatist legendary that required galactic republic to unlock. Then they could tease an epic confrontation at the end and use padme with galactic republic and the new legendary with seps. But I don't see a separatist legendary that would fit.

    Let's not forget that the two first legendary journeys should need each 5 markees which no one needed before... or released for the occasion.
    Therefore I'm more inclined to think that it will involves ep9 with new resistance and FO toons taken from the movie.
    Then what you said: rey and kylo journeys but who would be the 3rd ? Who would they both fight?


    That depends on the plot of ep 9.

    I didn't list that marques were released shortly before the journey characters but that is definitely a possibility. Though we should have plenty of time to speculate if we're going from marque to epic confrontation. And with several ep 7 and 8 characters in the game, it is reasonable to think some of them may be used in place of marque characters (hk47 was used since he was already in game).
  • It could also be something completely un related to ep 9 but still go into next year. Jtr was only meta for a month before she was undercut by ns thenby the ep reworks.

    So it is entirely possible there will be releases with ep 9 but they will be unrelated or a diversion. So it coukd even be something we haven't even seen hinted at yet.

    I'm under the impression that every toon needed for legendary journeys are named. Is it true ?

    Maybe rose and Holdo could be used as old toons


    I believe they are usually named toons. At least so far they have been. I finished holdo and am finishing up tico just in case. Even though I hate to do it.

    But if that were the case, my guess is it'd be jtr, rose, holdo, old luke, and maybe an old leia (Rey really just did her own thing with Luke so rose and holo are a bit of a stretch. But you need 5 probably)

    For kylo, I'd guess you'd need kru, snoke, and hux. Not sure who else woukd be needed. He also didn't have a lot of other interactions in ep 8. I don't think there are other named toons that we have already for first order. But we also have no ds journeys other than revan so who knows they could throw in phasma or executioner I guess.
