While I can agree that most of the content put out this year was excellent, they have produced two swing-and-miss events.
DS:TB was one of the worst things that they've ever put into the game. The idea behind it was great, except that the dark side has largely been neglected. The roster isn't deep enough to support it, and the difficulty was ridiculous. They've put in some work to fix it, so time will tell if the fixes are enough, or if the answer still is simply that the character pool isn't deep enough yet.
The second would be this Hero's Journey. CLS was a free to play event. Sure, you might have neglected Old Ben, but he was on an 8 energy cantina node since the beginning. Easily brought up in time to finish the event. That process would've been expedited by spending maybe 10-20$ on crystals for refreshes.
Then comes the Rey event, and we're given not one, but two characters on the hardest nodes to farm in cantina. Mind you, they've been out for less than a month. And you need them both 7*. They'll probably never admit it, but the event was rushed, and it now makes CG/EA look like this celebration event is nothing more than a cheap money grab. I think plenty of people were willing to spend money on Rey, who ended up keeping their cash because even with a minimal purchase, they still wouldn't make it.
Those are just my opinions, and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for this game.
Actually old Ben wasn't on 8 energy cantina from the beginning. He was completely P2P at first. Chromium only. Not like these days where we get them at 2-3 stars.
