If the force is with you while you are in Orlando, it may move you to attend Star Wars weekends on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from June 6 – June 29 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which is home of the Star Tours attraction and offers plenty of intergalactic excitement for Jedi knights of all ages.
During the Star Wars weekends, visitors will have the opportunity to encounter over 50 Star Wars™ characters from the entire six episode saga. Meet and greet your favorite Star Wars™ celebrities, snap a picture of the Legends of the Force celebrity motorcade, and discover the stories behind the movies during the eye-opening Stars of the Saga – Talk Show and Q & A.
During all four weekends, the celebrity host is scheduled to be Warwick Davis, who played Wicket the Ewok in Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. Other Star Wars celebrities who are expected to appear include:
