Advice for a returning player
Hello! I've recently returned to the game after being away for about two years, and would appreciate your advice on what to farm next. I'm a FTP player. I don't think I want to reroll, I don't want ...

Hey Masters! @MasterSeedy @Schwartzring @TheChild_eats_eggs1
I wanted to provide an update on my progress and ask for your advice once again on some questions!
Here is my .gg again: https://swgoh.gg/p/975918932/
My main question is whether or not I should keep on building my Geo squad now that I've unlocked Padme. I feel like I could be spreading myself too thin and I haven't even unlocked Relics yet, and I don't know if it's better to have many mediocre squads instead of a few powerful ones. These are all the teams I'd like to build/gear sometime in the future.
What should be my focus now?
As an aside, here is the current list of the nodes and toons I'm getting, that I built from your comments and after I slightly reordered them myself based on what made sense to me.
I appreciate any advice you can give me on whether or not what I'm saying makes sense, and what I should be focusing on now.
Thank you!

Here is my .gg again: https://swgoh.gg/p/975918932/
- My Geo squad is looking pretty good, at 84K GP. It became my Squad arena team, and I applied my first Zeta to GBM. It helped me unlock Padme at 7* already even though 4 of them are at G11 and one of them at G9.
- I also kickstarted my Phoenix farm to get Thrawn soon, not very good yet but it did get me through the first tier of yesterday's assault battle. If I'm lucky I'll get sabine at 5* this or next week and will be able to unlock Thrawn at 5*.
- I made some, albeit not much, progress in the ships department. This is mainly because I've been moving back and forth between my priorities in GW store to get Zeb stronger for the Assault battle and Cad Bane for the BH previous Assault battle, but my focus is now on Geo ships in that store. Also not that many Slave 1 and Vader ship shards have appeared in the Fleet store for me. However, I am able to get Zeta mats now, which was one of my priorities. I'll try to climb in the Fleet arena now if I'm able to level up my existing ships a bit.
- I'm slowly building towards BH and JKR teams through the Hard nodes (Jango, Bossk, Bastila, Jolee) but both of those teams are still far into the future.
- I combined both of Master Seedy's and Schwartzring's advices regarding Guild tokens, I'm buying some character shards and some gear (only for my main team, Geos). Because of this I've made progress with my Ewoks and Old Ben. I don't know if I need the rest of the characters in that store that urgently and I'd rather have stronger squads.
- Once I get R2 I could go for CLS. To get R2, after I get Thrawn, I could fill in my 5th slot in the Empire squad with Magmatrooper, as I have almost all the shards I need to get it to 5*.
- My Ewok team still needs work as well, and based on what I've read I'm wondering if the squad will work with Teebo leading instead of Chirpa as I don't have him.
- I also got into a much better guild that's getting me Traya shards and simming Rancor and ATAT, as well as more gear than before. I'm still far from unlocking General Kenobi, though.
My main question is whether or not I should keep on building my Geo squad now that I've unlocked Padme. I feel like I could be spreading myself too thin and I haven't even unlocked Relics yet, and I don't know if it's better to have many mediocre squads instead of a few powerful ones. These are all the teams I'd like to build/gear sometime in the future.
- Geos (I don't think I really NEED them anymore, but they're my strongest team and pretty annoying to go against, I believe).
- Galactic republic (would be needed for General Skywalker down the line, but that's still far into the future for me, but they seem to be a good competitive squad for GAC, Arena, Territory wars, etc) (given that I don't have GK yet, my squad would have to be something like Padme, Ahsoka, JKA, GMY, and maybe Windu?)
- Phoenix (needed for Thrawn) (apparently I wouldn't need to gear them too much if I want them only for Thrawn?).
- Empire (needed for R2, with Magmatrooper being my most easily-accessible 5th slot).
- Rebels (needed for CLS).
- BH (needed for Chewbacca and other occasional events that pop up) (Jango and Bossk still need a lot of shards, though).
- Ewoks (needed for C3PO, may not be the most optimal lineup).
- Old republic team for JKR (also far into the future still). However, gearing up Bastilla alone, as pointed out by you, would greatly improve my Jedi team. Right now I should almost have enough shards to get her to 6*
What should be my focus now?

I appreciate any advice you can give me on whether or not what I'm saying makes sense, and what I should be focusing on now.
Thank you!
