Who is harder or are they the same..yoda event or emperor event?

Well, i guess they're both the same. You need 5 rebels 7* to get full EP and 5 Jedi 7* to get full Yoda... So... I think they're pretty much the same...

Depends on your teams really.

Who were your 5 jedi and what gear/level were they?
Who are your 5 Rebels and what gear/level are they?

I'm assuming yoda is a lot easier, just because this event came out about a year ago. I beat it when the level cap was 70 so all my Jedi was level 70 and gear 8, except for eeth koth who was like level 45 and gear 5

I breezed through EP but I had a rebel squad as my main squad before he was ever announced. I struggled with Yoda because I was new at the time and only has QGJ,Ahsoka,Koth,Lumi & JC

Had a much easier time with palp than yoda. I had a better squad of rebels when I completed palp's event. Yoda's event had a steaming pile of dooo dooo...but I was able to beat it once I got a refresh with a barris flanker.

So I have a rebel team all with tier 9 gear. All will be 7 stars for the event. Admiral Akbar, Wedge, Biggs, Pathfinder, and Bistan. Will this team get me EP 7 star?

Both of them can be beaten with low (G7 or G8) gear level. I'd say they're the same.
