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 Starts: Aug 3rdEnds: Aug 11thNotes: Requires Empire CharactersOmega Battle: BespinStarts Aug 5thEnds Aug 5thNotes: Requires Geonosians, RebelsOmega Battle: CoruscantStarts: Aug 6thEnds: Aug 6thNotes: Requires Ewoks, EmpireHero's JourneyStarts: Ends: Notes: Assault Battles: Ground WarStarts: Aug 12thEnds: Aug 13thNotes: Requires Ewoks, Resistance UnitsGrandmasters Training: Yoda EventStarts: Aug 17thEnds: 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.

I would think it happens after the R2 event ends. So maybe 8/12 is the first day?

If they want old ben pack selling like hotcakes, they should do it in end of month. Bcause people maybe will buy old ben for yoda event, and for CLS event. Oh they can also do it whenever they want and put separate pack there. Or mega pack with all *7 leia, sthan, old ben.

For healthy debate, I counter that I don't believe they have ever started an event on a Sunday. Putting the earliest start on the 7th. I'd venture too to say that it's a 9 day event, like R2, ending on the 15th if it starts in the 7th.Or 8/12~8/20 which I think is most likely of the two.

@Nikoms565 Just to play devils advocate/insert another calm opinion, do you think the event will end on the last day of the month? My assumption is that since farmboy Luke is the login character that their intent was for him to help people get his shards for the event. Thus ending on the last day after getting 30 extra shards for him.

Have most of the events started on the same day of the week?

I doubt that. Less notice means a greater scramble to max out the required toons.

Most events start either Thursday or Saturday. The rebels are scheduled to be reworked early next week (I'm guessing Tuesday) so it would make sense for the event to follow on Thursday 10th August. Purely speculation of course.

Also in the newsletter they sent three days ago said the event will start "next week", correct? That puts it the same as the timeline on that event calendar where it say redacted. Guess they aren't really smooth about being incognito.

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.
