Is GK OP?
For the record I don't think he is considering how difficult it is to obtain him, but I'd like to know what the majority of the players think that have fought against GK

He's not OP in my opinion, but if anyone deserves to be OP, it is General Kenobi. Characters that do not deserve to be OP are Nihilus (who is neither canon nor well known) and Chaze (who were supporting roles in a Star Wars spin-off).
Why though? What precedents being OP in your mind. Just curious
A fan favorite character that is central to the movies and is really difficult to farm (i.e. end-game content).
I don't know about you, but nearly everybody in my top 50 has him at 7* already. If he is super late game then we need some new content because practically everybody has him.
Very true, but you are looking at players who have almost every player anyways. For me, GK will be one of the last players I unlock that is viable simply because of how long it takes to get him (I am level 80 and still haven't gotten a single shard). I am just saying that I would prefer players that take time, dedication, and skill to unlock to be OP, not players that require you to empty your bank account. Another example of someone I feel deserves to be OP is Han Solo, for all the same reasons as GK. Along that line of thinking though, I would be even more happy if Jedi Luke replaces GK as a deserving OP character.
TL;DR It would be ideal if everything was perfectly balanced, but since that is impossible, it would at least be nice for fan favorite characters that require skill to unlock to be meta instead of mediocre characters with huge price tags.
Very true. That's one thing that I've found to be consistent with people that defend GK, is that they forget about Han Solo despite those two being the only toons in the game that require you to beat Heroic Raids to unlock. While HAAT is significantly harder than HRancor they are still both classed as Heroic raids which means their rewards should be somewhat of the same caliber in terms of being meta toons. I'm not a fan of the whole "he's a fan favorite, so he should be slightly OP" argument because it's subjective. I personally like Mace Windu and he's also a fan favorite but that doesn't mean he should be slightly OP.
