With the new Galactic Legends characters of Rey and Kylo Ren being announced the question is... exactly how will they be unlocked?At the moment we have multiple "event" type characters out there.Legendary: 5* unlocks with specific factionsJourney: 7* unlocks with specific named charactersEpic Confrontation: 5* unlocks with multiple specific named charactersTB Specific Mission: ROLO, IPD, Wat, KAMGETMk1: HYoda, Wampa, Remaining shards for Malak and GASGETMk2: Negotiator, MalevolenceAchievement: Darth VaderThey had talked about, what feels like ages ago, adding in more ways to unlock characters. I feel this definitely falls into that category.Which leads to my speculation...I believe the GL Reylo will be unlocked after a quest line is completed. You will have to work on specific milestones in-game that will be checked off and then you will unlock them. What those milestones are... who knows. Maybe getting the whole Resistance and First Order factions to a certain gear requirement or perhaps just merely unlocking them all?

25000 power required per character

My excitement over this announcement immediately got overshadowed with, “Will it be a 7 star unlock? If not, how to get the rest?”

It may very well be another 7* unlock, but hopefully somehow different mechanics. Not just some kind of massive power need like R7 needed to gain entry.

At some point the just gonna throw in the towel and be honest You need to have an account that has spent $1,000 to unlock Rey $5,000 lifetime spending on account to unlock KyloThen stop messing around with 3 or 5 star unlocks and just make them 7 star relic 7 unlocks.

My favorite part of the post was "to avoid spoilers, these aren't the final names of these characters"Great. So in avoiding a spoiler, we sorta got a spoiler that their names are changing in the movies.

Imagine the possibilities on GL Rey
If ally tico is r7, instantly defeat any toon(unaffected by taunt/stealth)

Best option will still be to defeat tico, cause she's terrible

I honestly see this going one of two routes.

Route 1: The Pessimistic Veteran Route - The requirements for these events will be harder than current legendaries and journey type events, but not epic confrontation requirements. Unlocks like a legendary character and requires G12+ for a 5 star unlock and R5-6 for 7 stars for the average player.

Route 2: The main emphasis of the whole Journey Guide thing is to make it easier to guide new players and help them access fan favorite character found in the legendary/journey event. CG may be expecting an influx of new players based off the hopeful success for Rise of Skywalker and these two Galactic Legends characters are meant to help them with the game. Maybe they unlock at 5 stars doing the new Quest accompanying the system, but it takes them awhile before the 6-7 star unlock.

I just hate that the first two “Galactic Legends” are these two. A whiny brat bad guy and a can-do-nothing-wrong good girl. Ugh

I'd imagine new legendaries are coming, so making it based on having all legendaries will generate complaints from newer players.
"How come I have two more legendaries to acquire the legends compared to so-and-so who started 4 years ago?"
I'm thinking a quest line or achievement that resonates with the character is far more likely.

I'm gonna just not worry about it since nobody here has any real info and they'll tell us at some point.

Wild, I know.

Who cares about galactic legends. Who cares about Rey and kylo ren. The only people who think they're legends is Disney. Disney already messed up the skywalker saga and now CG is just forcing another cash grab down our throats with 2 characters nobody even likes let alone thinks they're legends. This game only saddens me with every new update. I can't take much more of the greed. Bf2 was the bad guy in star wars gaming but now swgoh has run away with that title and bf2 has course corrected itself. Dice will continue on and CG won't unless they change their greedy ways.

So it seems they are badging this as some sort of pinnacle for a certain character, I think one of the requirements will be all versions of a character at a certain level (G12 or a relic level 7?). Maybe it's just a coincidence, that these two have other version's of themselves, but i think add it in with the Talk about ROTJ Luke and how they want to build to have him as super powerful i think this is a way to go that'll mean you have to go out of your way to collect a bunch of other characters.

So the ROS Rey you will need JTR and Scavenger.
ROS Ren - unmasked and kylo Ren.

This leaves scope for things like ROTJ Luke, and Legend versions of Chewie/Han/Leia/Palaptine/Anakin/Kenobi, making you collect every version of a character before getting the "legend". And the journey guide, will highlight the paths to all the versions.
