The rewards for May are too suspicious

My personal opinion, though I hope it doesn't prevent anyone from enjoying the month of May and the events, is that they already had most of this slated either for May 4th or StayandPlay and they decided to not make a second gift/event and say this was for both, so it looks good for one but a bit dulled down when you consider the events and double drops are the same they did in April and the login rewards are basically what they would've given in just the inbox gift of previous years diluted over a whole month. It's fine, I think it's a good gift, but my guess is that the "suspicious" part is that it's the whole month and I think that was efficiency (or laziness) on their part depending on how you look at it.

I think it just played out oddly, but my take away from it is that the month of May will be the best month a lot of us have had all year in game.

They decided not to announce an in box gift for the 4th this year, but that doesn’t mean they won’t give us one.

They also made a lot of players happy with the log in character, which rarely happens.

I think you are just reading far too much into it - its a good package for May. We have a hard toon to get as a monthly reward, apart from Raid Han, I can't think of any other raid or challenge character being given away. The boost packages for double drops are great, yes you'll probably spend more crystals on refreshes but that's fine. If you want to buy the gear packets, then do so, no one is forcing you to pay - we all have that choice. I see packages as time savers, when I have the money and I want it, I am going to pay for it, otherwise I have to grind gear like everyone else.

So, for the record, I'm happy with what CG are doing for the Month of May...but I would have liked there to be more about celebrating 40 Years of ESB!

Battlefront 2 is now a fair and fun game, it is where I go each time swgoh makes me crazy.
Very far from what swgoh has become with the powercreep and enormous amount of cash they trying to grab everyday

Obviously we were given Traya because we're all stuck in isolation with COVID

There was one month quite awhile back where General Kenobi was the login character, I will never forget after someone made a topic somehow claiming it was a ‘slap in the face’.

Celebration of 40th anniversary: The Empire strikes back.
-> New Sith incoming

Does this mean we have to morally prepare for an event which gonna require 2 galactic legend characters at the end of a month?

I think you're right about it being suspicious.

But it probably has more to do with all the 1-month bans they have been handing out for TOS violations.

Thanks CG for rewarding the players that follow the rules.

...now do you censor the link to your own announcement?

These are fun theories.

I enjoy fun theories

What rewards?
