Why all the love for phoenix squad?

I like SW rebels well enough, but it got cancelled. Just in time for this game to be rife with all the characters from it(except Old Rex, for some reason). Now we have the Thrawn event, which only rewards whoever bought these new phoenix characters. It's just another huge dis to all the casual players, which is all that will be left of this game if prices or announcements don't improve.

Rebels wasn't cancelled. They are doing 1 more season....after that, they'll basically be up to Rogue One in the timeline and there's not anywhere else the show can go....it's purpose was always to bridge the gap up to that point in the timeline. Lucasfilm is moving onto its next series.

Also, almost every character in this game is farmable within a relatively short period after release. Casual and F2P should not get every single thing in this game without any money or work....it's Galaxy of Heroes, not Galaxy of Handouts.

no one loves, or even likes those garbage toons. it's a blatant money grab.

That's your opinion. There are actually a lot of people who like and have watched both shows.

You can make this argument for SW: Clone Wars, which was cancelled after 5 seasons (and then picked up by Netflix for a 6th).

The show wasn't actually picked up by Netflix....they had already produced enough material for about half of Season 6 when Disney decided to focus on post-Revenge of the Sith stuff and start working on the Rebels show. As Disney has a deal with Netflix, they were able to put the already produced episodes onto Netflix.
