Star Wars Weekends Celebrity Guest List Announced

Is your family as geeked out about Star Wars as mine? My husband, particularly, is a fan, but thanks to the Lego Star Wars game for Wii, my girls are pretty into it too. (In fact, we contemplated a Star Wars costume theme for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, but all three of us girls would probably fight over who got to be Leia.)


Disney's Hollywood Studios will once again be hosting its annual Star Wars Weekends in May and June. Schedule celebrity guests are listed for each weekend.


May 20-22: Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and Dave Filoni (Clone Wars supervising director)


May 27-29: Anthony Daniels, Bruce Spence (Tion Medon), and Dee Bradley Baker (Captain Rex in Clone Wars, General Grievous)


June 3-5: Ray Park (Darth Maul), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), and Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker in Clone Wars)


June 10-12: Ray Park, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and Tom Kane (Yoda in Clone Wars)


So, those are the scheduled celebrity guests, right? But I'm hearing rumors of a VERY IMPORTANT un-scheduled celebrity guest that is expected on the opening Star Wars Weekend (May 20-22). No, it's not Harrison Ford (aw, shucks!). It's none other than Star Wars creator George Lucas! Makes sense, right? Of course Mr. Lucas would like to be on hand for the May 20 launch of the new Star Tours: The Adventures Continue.


We've been at Disney twice for Star Wars Weekends, and it's great fun. But expect large crowds during scheduled SWW activities--and especially if Lucas makes an appearance.
