Its probably a marquee event. Where as 3p0 may get a legendary. Who knows.

Legendary will probably need fo to unlock

3P0 will be an epic event the way R2 and CLS were. They aren't just going to release one of the most popular characters without significant barriers to get him.

A resistance character makes sense for the buildup to TLJ with a first order toon being the drop of the month, I would think it would switch next month where there will be a drop of Poe or Resistance Pilot and a new character like General Hux- which would lead nicely to the release of a new captial ship (or 2 with Thrawn) for the one year anniversary of ships in November.

Now I understand...
to unlock BB8 we will need ROLO.
And in new TB we will need BB8 for platoons... :wink:
