Gear is gold. I mentioned my team. Every single member of my team has the max gear it can have. Gear adds so much. Drop rates can really frustrate you. Be patient, stick with it. I farm only a few shards to be honest. Ones I can't get in GW, Arena, or Cantina Shipments. The rest is gear, gear, and more gear.
Just to expand on this as I had made a mistake on it until very recently.
First, Gear is probably more important than stars early on.
Second, I was working mainly on getting all gear on one character at a time but I had Lumi at Gear 7 and I put her on hold to work on others. I just happened to get a unique item for one of the 6 gear pieces and locked it in and her stats when up drastically.
The character's stats go up per piece of gear. Not just when upgrading from one level to the next. So get those white 'halos' on the gear whenever possible.
