Hey all,
I thought I'd share how I beat this event. Basically 1 word: ackbar.
Ackbar's leader ability means every non-attack skill - including, and this is important, the event skill that grants counter, healing, and attack up - will call a Rebel for assist.
You'll need 1 more rebel ideally instead of just ackbar + clones so that ackbars non attacks will call assists. I have several, but i like Han because when he taunts he grants a lot of turn meter and he can protect anybody who needs health.
General strats: Kill magma troopers asap Counter frequently, since with ackbar it calls an assist and doesn't waste turns If Han is taunting, don't counter with others since the enemy will only hit Han. Exception: your weakest 2 characters may be better off countering so that someone stronger will attack on the assist Use Ackbar's tactical genius wisely - it heals. Normally I don't care since I just want the double strike, but healing is tough with rebels and clones so for this event, I often use it for that. Against Vader, don't taunt. You want him to aoe everyone so ackbar can clear the DoTs for huge heals
Most important strat: on the last round, burn the RG's to yellow health asap so they don't stun. Taunt with Han so they hit him a zillion times and give you fast turn meter. If you can, put slow on Palatine (with 5's for example).
And that's it. Good luck!

Btw the rewards for 1st time completion (at least for me) were 27 empire shards across 5 characters, some training droids, a few mediocre gear pieces, and some credits. Also an achievement with 10 Vader shards

Subsequent completions gave 3 shards iirc. I'll report back tomorrow if the rewards are different for 1st of the day

Just did it for the 1st time today. 3 shards, 1 purple gear (I think it was a tier 4 laptop - meh), and one common gear piece.
I don't think I emphasized enough how great Han is for stage 8. The RG's strike very often and they apply Slow. So if Han's taunting, then he'll sit there and grant you a TON of turn meter getting poked by the RG's, which you need since Palpatine one-shots people whenever he gets a turn.
If you have some high level clones that can take away Palpatine's turn meter, I assume that would be helpful too
