I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that the requirements for this new event are insulting.
With CLS, every one of the required units had been pretty accessible for a long time. While the announcement was abrupt, leaving little time for the panic farm, it was generally our faults for not being able to complete the event.
This time around it should have come as no surprise that we would need Han and Chewie, as they were important in The Force Awakens and even teased in the BB-8 event. However, they are extremely inaccessible. As soon as they were made "available," I farmed them immediately, saving my precious FTP crystals for double drops, and (foolishly) hoping for a 5 star requirement for those two alone. Cantina energy is sparse, expensive, and valuable, especially with the 16 energy nodes. And don't even get me started on the drop rates. Even with double drops, 2 x 0 = 0.
I have done everything possible to be prepared, without spending, and fallen way short. Even a double drop event won't save me. And I'm not alone. I'm getting quite sick of these premium characters being locked behind a paywall that is impossible for the free player to climb with good resource budgeting.
