i think the probability to get him is just very low. i don't think i've even ever gotten his character, only 1 shard at a time... which i guess is... still mildly faster than just that single hard node?
Ouch, I managed to unlock him over the time I've played... I still have 1.1m AP, it's doubtful we can get 7* all through bronziums, but it may help for those getting close haha

Funny story. When palpatine originally dropped. Both HRS were part of my 7s squad to max him (used lando lead, STH, and Leia along with them). The event was painfully difficult because of my decision to max and gear those two to gear 10. Now I'm kinda grateful for my sillyness.
I already had him 5* before there was any indication he might be important to TB, all from bronziums (I assume). I certainly never made any effort to farm him.

Yeah, this is one of those games where almost everything will be useful at some point. (Although I think I'll die waiting on CUP's time to shine)
With absolutely no real data other then talking with 20 or so players... it feels like the game 'elects' certain toons in the Bronziums and becomes hell-bent on making sure you get them. I have Poggle, 2/100, Ewok scout at 66/100, Jedi Guardian @ 25/100, and a 7* Snow Trooper right now, all from Bronziums - never farmed.
Mean while I had all of 5 HRS shards before TB was announced.

I also have no real data, but I've noticed the complete characters I get most out of bronzium packs are the 1* and 2* characters (far more heavily-biased towards 1*s). When it comes to the 1 shard you get out packs, it seems about even.
For some reason he's always been very common in there for me. I never even payed attention until I found out he was required for TB, and he was already sitting at ~70/85 six star, despite never having farmed him. It's this type of thing that just highlights how lazily the mechanics in the game are designed. Game design too hard, just slap some sort of RNG on the problem and call it a day.
PSA: HRS is the acronym for more than 1 character.
PSA has 223 Acronyms - not least of which is Prostate Specific Antigen
Since you had to go there...
PSA is not an Acronym, it is an abbreviation.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
1. All acronyms are abbreviations.
2. If PSA stands for public service announcement... 1 letter from each word... it's an acronym, but if you refer to 1. It's technically an abbreviation too.
3. Given the above he is correct and you are both correct (calling it an abbreviation) and incorrect (saying it's not an acronym).

CNN, CBS, ESPN, CLS, HRS, GK are abreviations and do not make a new word.

All acronyms are initialisms, not all initialisms are acronyms.
If you take the first letter of each word to make an abbreviation (GK) it is an initialism. If that initialism makes a word that's pronounceable in your language (OPEC) then that initialism is an acronym. But, strictly speaking, since an acronym is a word that's named for its initials, "Gee Kay" is an acronym, even if it looks like "GK" when you type it out.

Thankfully you only need 5* now.
Yeah, fortunately we only need 5* now I suppose.

I did 400k and got 6 shards... (lots of other stuff though)

It's possible you're thinking of anagrams, which are an entirely different thing but sound similar.
