Gearing GAS vs gearing for Jedi Luke
I’m FTP, and the gear crunch being what it is, I have to choose which to prioritize. I unlocked GAS and was able to 7* him quickly (hoarded GET). He is currently GL12, but my 501st clones are poorly...

I thought that looking at your toons might give me reason to rethink.
It really doesn't. I think you can get those toons relic'd in 3 months. I can't be sure, of course, but I think you'll make it if your first priority is JKL, while going the other route you need a lot of gear for 501st if you're going to use ARC (And Ahsoka is needed for Padmé squad) and I think there's no way you make the deadline if you gear 501st before JKL requirements.
The most obvious candidates for quick increase are Chewie (to go with your Relic Han and boost your Rebel fleet) and Wampa (who goes so well with your Relic Vader and can plug-and-play with a couple other squads). Start hulking out on those, because even if you change your mind later, you could use help with your Rebel fleet and your NewVader squad. You're not going to regret those decisions later no matter what happens. (Of course, I think you won't change your mind, but I'm just saying those are safe investments that would have been good priorities even without JKL.)
I'm not sure what your crystal budget and gear economy are like - depends where you finish in your guild's raids & a bunch of other things - but if you can average 1 toon to relic per week, you should be able to do JKL next time round quite easily.
Fair warning: when I was going after GL Rey, there were fits and starts and it was easier to average 2 toons relic'd in two weeks than 1 in one week. It's a matter of different toons needing different g12 gear, but taking a while to farm it all - often about two weeks.
Most of the gear for your toons under g12 is different, but you can need a stun gun prototype here or a Mk8 eyeball there as a component in g12 finished pieces.
Use that so that you can focus on 2 different sub-g12 toons at a time (check them to see that not too much gear overlaps). As long as you can keep gaining 2 new g12 toons every time you raise 2 toons to relic, the production line continues smoothly and you should be able to handle this just fine.
So I still recommend focus on JKL. GAS can be used as a strong addition to other squads while you're waiting to finish the 501st team.
