Can I 7* R2D2 with this?

Just figured out what has been getting me R2-D2's third ability apparently hits through foresight which as far as i am aware it should not and that added to the other advantages of the opposing squad make it a bear to beat im going to need Tie fighter pilot to get through with the team I have and if the opposite team ignores foresight he gets real dead real quick I have been non stop for 2 days on this phase now and I don't have the resources to gear any higher plus the fact that I have no intention of focusing on all of the empire toons when the ones who would help have next to no farming nodes I am close to having troopers but for the same token it will take months of farming a new squad of toons which seems stupid to me when there are obviously issues that need to be resolved on the developers end but I digress I am free to play and success shouldn't be behind pay walls and impossible tasks
