Same reason the rebel round up is ridiculously broken. All they did was just up some numbers without doing any actual balancing of the event. I wish my Darth Sidious did a tenth the damage the sidious in round 4 does even on tier 1. (Oh wait, he might do a tenth the damage!)
All they did was add relics and up the mods and TM load to ludicrous level and say, "awww, well just get your characters to relic 9 and they should be fine in these events!" (Just like LS Geo TB where they said over six months ago, "this is end game for 6 months to a year from now!" but we're at now now, and still can't mathematically max star that event.)
Hey, maybe in 12 months we'll be talking about how easy Tier 2 of these events are, when we have our characters at relic 15!
