Do we actually need these teddy bears?

Also doubtful. Unless they change things up completely, the upcoming marquee events are going to get us a 3* Paploo and Logray. They'd need to make at least one if not both of those characters farmable before they could expect us to have 5 at a decent star level for a full squad event. And the release cadence means we won't see them become farmable for a couple months.
Even with Thrawn, the PS was around for a few months. It was only after they became farmable (and after we were given a week + double drops) that the Thrawn event took place.
Then again, people are saying the Wicket event is going to be something somewhat new. So I'm making sure I farm Chirpa (the only one I don't have 7*) on the double drop days.
But every other day is devoted to finally getting Old Ben and Luke to 7* first.
