[Mega]Content Update 8/2 [Hot Fix] & Commander Luke Skywalker Intro

When do you think the Hero Journey begins? It's listed between August 6-12 in the notes section:

Omega Battle: Coruscant
Starts: Aug 6th
Ends: Aug 6th
Notes: Requires Ewoks, Empire
Hero's Journey
Starts:
Ends:
Notes:
Assault Battles: Ground War
Starts: Aug 12th
Ends: Aug 13th
Notes: Requires Ewoks, Resistance Units

But does that mean it will actually be next week?

Also, would they end this event before August is over, if they have a month of Luke login shards? I've already got a 7* Luke, just curious.
