First off, some of the mods have done a great job of pointing us in the right direction - specifically either linking or quoting Kozi's post. I want to help "decipher" - or at least give a best guess, for those that are not understanding why the link/quote is actually very helpful.
First, a quote from a section of the announcement:
....
Daring Droid [R2-D2]
Starts: Aug 3rd
Ends: Aug 11th
Notes: Requires Empire Characters
Omega Battle: Bespin
Starts Aug 5th
Ends Aug 5th
Notes: Requires Geonosians, Rebels
Omega Battle: Coruscant
Starts: Aug 6th
Ends: Aug 6th
Notes: Requires Ewoks, Empire
Hero's Journey
Starts: [Redacted]
Ends: [Redacted]
Notes: [Redacted]
Assault Battles: Ground War
Starts: Aug 12th
Ends: Aug 13th
Notes: Requires Ewoks, Resistance Units
Grandmasters Training: Yoda Event
Starts: Aug 17th
Ends: Aug 23rd....
Now, for those who are particularly observant you will notice that the start dates of ALL of the events in the announcement are in chronological order. Which would lead me to believe that it is likely (although not guaranteed - as things can happen) that the Hero's Journey Luke event will probably launch sometime between August 6th and August 12th.
Also, for those asking about "extra means" to obtain shards - Kozi has stated that there will be. But all that
might mean is packs. Is it possible that it means double drops or moving some of the needed characters into shops? Maybe - but that wasn't stated.
For those of you visiting the forums for the first time (or even long time frequenters of the forum) the above may look strange. That's because it is the calm voice of reason. Sorry if you find it off-putting or confusing.
May the force be with you.

Or 8/12~8/20 which I think is most likely of the two.
The safe bet it will be as long as the Yoda or R2 events...8 days

I doubt that. Less notice means a greater scramble to max out the required toons.
They said the reworks for Farmboy, Leia, etc. would go in next week. Didn't say the event would be next week. Nonetheless, my guess is the reworks will go in with the update on Tuesday and the event will start Friday.

Who said the event would start on a Sunday? Your "counter" falls right within the range of dates I gave - between 8/6 and 8/12. 8/7 is, indeed (at least the last time I checked) between said dates.

The thing that makes me hope it is not that early is that Luke is the login character. Starting on the 10th means we will get 2/3 of the login shards after the event is over. Makes it kind of pointless to have him this month instead of last.
I see, I thought you were saying the event was 8/6~8/12, my bad ^_^
No worries. Just hypothesizing on the start date. You are correct that it could be a 9 day event - it could also go over more than one weekend if it start later in the week.

I believe it said tbe toon reworks were "next week." Not the event itself.
Solidly safe prediction. Well done.

I am afraid I will skip it as my Luke is 6* and I do not have OB. There is no even a point to buy shards: I am pretty sure I will have them when event reappear... really strange politics. Why Luke shards is not in July? What's the point of 3 shards before event in August?
hmmm. August being a safe prediction???
Not really. I could be ready tomorrow. The people who are ready, or close to it, aren't complaining. Judging by the few dozen complaining, it seems as though there are either many more ready than you suspect, or most of them just realize that they'll snag CLS next time around.
