I don't think he cares about the game at all at this point so it doesn't bother him either way. Which is a fair view. CG doesn't care about the game either. Plus he has a pretty loyal following now. He will just make videos about this until it is dead then move on to something else.
He also has all the required units so he's gonna be getting GA first time around and be a top dog in his shard without much resistance. I'd be happy too
I had to quit this game a long time ago and I stopped watching GoH videos. What the hell happened to you? You have a new studio?! God damn I’m happy to see you being successful. Last time I was here, you were at 40K subs. Now you’re above 100k
The game is stuck in a cycle where they need to keep creating overly broken characters to make people spend money. If f2p wasn't dead before, it is now.
This is all the everlasting effects of JKR. There is no coming back from it now. They went to far with him. They had a chance as game developers to balance him, but they only cared about money. Now they have sacrificed the balance of the entire game forever.
They don't give a crap about ftp. All they care about is milking the whales. A game doesn't have to be balanced to milk the whales. Clearly the game has been unbalanced for a year now, and they haven't bothered fixing it. That tells you all you need to know about their motivation.

General 66 yeah I get that but you see how insane and how anti malak he is, they are going more and more extreme with the metas so fallen anakin will just be able to walk over anything if he is indeed the next meta

"Hero without Fear" doesn't make sense for a character whose undoing was fear. Anakin was afraid for his mother. He was afraid Padme would die. He turned to the darkside ALL BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID of what would happen to Padme. - I understand that Anakin was fearless in battle, which more directly applies to SWGOH, but come on... There's lots of names you can choose from.
I don't think the theme of the kit makes any sense at all, but CG doesn't care about that. Why waste time and effort into things like that when whales will buy literally any trash given to them?
This name for that ability actually derived from what he was called in-universe during that time. In the Revenge of the Sith novelization, he is referred to like that in the same way Obi-Wan is referred to as the Negotiator. I think it’s more of a callback to that.
If you fight against General Skywalker it is like a mini raid. First you have to attack him to topple him then you can attack his allies while Anakin slowly recovers.
