Specifically, I'm interested in when we might see Captain Rex and Princess Kneesa as accelerated farms... You guys have any idea?

They won’t be accelerated until a new featured GL is announced, or at least that’s what happened with the Jabba toons anyway

That's not the reason at all. It's just that it kind of lined up that way this time.

Leia was announced in July. Jabba toons were accelerated on their one year anniversary, per stated cadence:
Krrsantan - 19th July (as scheduled)
Skiff Lando - 9th August (as scheduled)
Boussh Leia - 7th September (as scheduled)

Will be interesting to see if the next GL will be announced the same time next year, one would think that would be the streamlining, that the toons are accelerated when they are no longer needed for a “featured” JG toon and new content is being released.

It's been my experience that people that wait to farm only accelerated characters aren't too worried about getting the new shiny thing. I have folks in my guild that won't farm non-accelerated characters, and while I understand the desire for efficiency, the opportunity cost of not farming them asap almost always out-weighs the benefits of efficiency. My point is, I don't think those people are the ones going after the "featured" stuff anyway, so I'm not sure why it matters. People that rush to the new stuff will always have the benefit and reap the additional rewards of the newest thing and people that wait will always miss out on that.

I would expect if they're going to keep releasing GLs, they'll likely maintain roughly the same cadence so it stands to reason that marquees for the last GL will accelerate around the same time the marquees for the new GL get released. Give or take some weeks.
