I'd guess that Jedi Luke will be one of the last characters released in the game, if not the last.

Most likely. What is the typical lifespan of a game like this?

I can't decide whether to answer with "soon" or "August".

Not when the game will end, but upon further consideration, I came to the conclusion that the game will end when the money is gone.

Judging from this: https://swgohevents.com/ Chewie is coming soon and others are "mid-cycle", so I wouldn't expect them as soon as Chewie.

I know you like your toon ideas but what's the relevance in this thread?

I think he was hoping they would come in December. But I don't see it.

Nope, for Christmas we get C3PO and the Millennium Falcon

Devs said that Journey characters will have their 2nd appearance after 4-6 months, and every 3-4 months after that. It would be a very bad idea to bring it back after only 2 months when a lot of people spent a lot of money expecting exclusivity for at least 4 months.

Rey came back after 90 days,I think. Luke was 120, so my goal is 90, just to be safe.

Revan isn't technically a hero's journey character and the devs have said nothing about how often he will return. So all there is is speculation. If people had the expectation of him being meta for 6 mo that is on them. We likely will get something new in Dec regardless that may or may no change the meta.

He's not a "hero's" journey character, but he is a Journey character. Was called a journey of redemption, not a legendary event, so it isn't speculation. If people expected it to be exclusive for 4 months, they should have because that's what they were promised.

Rey was 90 the first two times.

CLS 140 the first time (!) then 80-100 after that.

I'd like a link on that 4-6 months quote @Woodroward .

They said it over 6 months ago, and I don't recall where they did. They said it after JTR had had her 2nd appearance. They definitely said it. If they release Revan for Christmas they'll be getting some major flak for going back on their word. I doubt they will.

Thank you. That is why I think 90 days from first event would be the shortest, I figured similar event, time frame should follow suit.

Well I couldn't find anything about 4-6 months for the first reappearance in this thread, but it does explain that the first 2 appearances are different than subsequent appearances (and this was stated well after JTR's 2nd appearance), and that it would be every 3-4 months for "legacy" journey events. I don't see them making it more common when it is new.
