We were told that phoenix would be needed when they were released. Some more fortunate bought packs but those who werent were stuck at 3* for months. We had time to gear them but shards just werent available. Then suddenly there was a thrawn legendary event, phoenix became farmable, but not near enough time to farm 5 or 6 toons from 3* to 7*. So they gave us double drops. If we were lucky could get at best a 5* thrawn without any purchases.

I was able to get 6* Thrawn the first time around without any purchases or node refreshes. Yes, I farmed Phoenix right fro when they became farmable. Anybody who chose so, would have been able to get him at 6*.

Now is different, it is well known phoenix unlocks thrawn in a legendary event and there has been plenty of time to farm them. I really don't see them doing double drops this time. For sure there will be packs in the store.

Nice. I didnt play when You had that.

So, you're a fairly new player? You might as well accept the fact, that you won't be able to get every charachter in the game. It's a game if resource management. You need to plan and choose what to farm carefully — and hence also choose what NOT to farm. If you don't get Thrawn this time around, then just sit back and relax. You will get him eventually. Just continue farming Phoenix at your own pace. And you might as well enjoy your game while doing so.
