I feel sad that we now have a situation where everyone think we need Veteran Han and Chewie. This had proved most of us had a poor perception of EA and this game is designed to use such events to grab money.
The hero event suppose to give us players, whales or FTP to have good gaming experience and reward us with a highly desirable toon. I am sure EA had the best intention for the players but it will be disappointing if it turns out that we need Vet Han and Chewie, which at this point, u need 40k crystals to farm them.
EA can redeem its reputation by using existing toons that can be farmed other than from shipments, like CLS. There are enough Legendary events where gamers need to pay money to get the toon. I really hope this is not the case for Hero Journey events.
