2 days, 16 hours and 58 shards short
Is farming 58 Hera shards in that short of time even possible? If I had to use gems can anyone give me an approximate amount of what I'd be looking to spend?

I didn't want to start a new thread for more Phoenix talk, but I've recently started a new account. Nobody in my shard has Thrawn from this event from what I can gather, but as a f2p (basically), will I be able to farm up Phoenix between now and the next time Thrawn comes around, or am I looking at 2 rotations before I get him myself?
I really hate Phoenix and how you pretty much have to have them in this game to avoid falling behind, but if they must be farmed, then I'm willing to start if only to get it over with and to get Thrawn.
I just restarted also and I will JUST make unlocking Thrawn at 5* tonight. Can't remember the exact date but definitely less than a few weeks and I've gotten just about everyone to 6* and a couple close to 7*, Hera is the only 5*. So yes you could easily get a 7* Thrawn during the next event as long as you are spending your energy daily and managing your resources properly. Just grind them up to 7* and a minimum of gear 8, get gear 9 if possible, you'll be less RNG reliant and also try to max omega the important skills.
As for hating phoenix I'm right there with you, however their pro list far outweighs the cons.
Pros
-Unlocks Thrawn, a top tier character with the top ship
-They have multiple useful tags, giving you access to 2 Jedi, a droid, and rebels
-They can finish GW daily without a single loss, for the most part can even be done on auto.
-Can keep you in the top 100 on a newer shard
-Have good ships should you choose to unlock them.
Cons
-So friggin boring
-annoying to gear
-Takes all your resources and leaves you with a small stable of characters. Obviously with several months until your next Thrawn chance you could branch out and farm other shards but if you read these forums a lot you'll see plenty of posts from people who didn't finish their 7* and end up having to scramble. Plus it's best just to focus the 5 so you stay competitive in the arena and once complete you'll have every shard farm available.
