Bastila working as intended?
First off, I’m going to try and keep this as constructive as possible. I am in a November 2017 shard so what I’m going to say may not apply to old shards. We just got our first Traya with another half...

@Ikky2win Keep up the good fight here. Your point was eloquently made and highly accurate, in my opinion. As others pointed out, the same thing happened with Nightsisters. Power creep from the new toons obviated the need for gear and mods for them to be competitive. (Although I disagree with paper zombie, which I think is cheese when used in conjunction with Acolyte in arena, but that's just me).
Bastila was clearly introduced to counter the scourge of zEP and bring some balance back to arena (ironically, I think a little more is needed to handle the coming plague of Traya). I agree it's not exactly fair that a single zeta should result in a player who's been unprepared for the past 8 months suddenly being competitive in arena, but unfortunately it's part of the game. The only way to really counter that would be to make some of the leadership abilities gated by gear level, but the player base would likely erupt, and it's probably a bad idea as it makes the game inaccessible to lower tier players.
I would imagine that team falls pretty hard UNLESS your shard is dominated by zEP, which will have a hard time with it.
