Require isn’t a strong word in TB, 6/6 a platoon can be the difference in total stars, they have a solid impact and 1-2 more stars would be a big difference for a lot of guilds in geo TB right now. My main gripe is that he’s required in a platoon, but no opportunity to get him is being provided

And one G1 L1 cup can be "the difference in total stars."

Getting another star or two is nice. It is not "required."

Do your best and you've successfully participated in the mode. Do better next time, and the time after that, and the time after that. You are not capped by the presence or absence of Malak. You have many, many vectors by which you can improve that do not require Malak.

The Malak event will come. Some people will get him. Some will not. Then the Malak event will come again. Some people will get him. Some people will not. Repeat until the end of the game.

You say no opportunity is being provided, but it's a cyclic event. You get the character by participating in the cycle. Your opportunity to get him is, "Prep for the event and wait for it to come back." Same as every other event character. So congratulations, you're being given your opportunity to get Malak right now.

CLS and Chewie and JTR help with the Sith raid, in GA, in TW. But missing out on those event characters doesn't mean you can't participate in those game modes. Do your best. Improve as you can. Get those characters next time.

While it is important to push for more stars in Geonosis, fact of the matter is the the rewards for Geonosis TB are fairly flat. Having a score that is one or two stars lower is not such a drop in rewards that it is a failure state. Malak is not required. Just desired.
