Legendaries and Hero’s Journeys are NOT the same kind of events.

Legendaries require FACTIONS. A Legendary toon unlocks at 5*. A Legendary toon has 5 abilities and 2 zetas (except capital ship Chimaera).

Hero’s Journeys require SPECIFIC CHARACTERS. A Hero’s Journey toon unlocks at 7*. A Hero’s Journey toon has 6 abilities and 3 zetas.

Current Legendaries:

Grand Master Yoda, Emperor Palpatine, R2-D2, Grand Admiral Thrawn, BB-8, Chewbacca and Chimaera

Current Hero’s Journeys:

Commander Luke Skywalker, Rey (Jedi Training) and Jedi Knight Revan

Giving Old Republic tag to any toon wouldn’t help you get Revan. You cannot wait for a more easily farmable OR toon to get Revan next time.

I hate to knock you off of your soap box, but Revan is not a hero's journey......

I concur. More, you cannot distinguish if Revan need OR faction or specific characters as they coincide...

You cant?

While not specifically stated to be a HJ, it requires specificity named toons, and unlocks at 7*. That is the same as previous HJ. The only difference with this one is we do not seem to have a "base character" for the journey, as we did with Luke and Rey.

Let call it a Legendary Marquee Heroes Journey ... of redemption :-p

I fully understand above's notion. The story/description of the event talks about a Hero the packs are called Legends of Old, why not Hero's of Old?. By the same logic, every character ingame is a hero as the game is called "Galaxy of Heroes". Additionally, why would they spread confusion with a Hero's Journey if they could just call it that: a Hero's Journey. They did that specifically with the first 2 Hero's Journey Events, too. Why stop?
Additonally, for JTR they specifically wrote that you can only unlock her (at 7*) by completing the event with 7* characters.(In CLS' case they did not specify like that in the announcement but in length in the Megathread accompanying the first ever HJ).
If this would really turns out to be a Hero's Journey, someone at CG is doing a really, really bad job at wording and designing this announcement. No matter the time we had in advance, there was consistency in Event descriptions. We new it was a Marquee, a HJ or Legendary. This would be a totally new case and a - in my opinion - hard fail of the person responsible for such marketing stuff / teasers / ads.

I can see the confusion, I am still myself as strong disbeliever of a Hero's Journey Event
What I actually wonder, and couldn't find are the announcements of the legendary events, like BB-8 or Thrawn. Depending on the wording, conclusions could be drawn.
