Wow. Just wow. My daughter and I went to Last Tour to Endor last night and had a truly amazing Disney time. They really went all out for the event and enjoyed every minute of it:

* Raiders of the Lost Jedi Temple of Doom was a nerdy Star Wars' fans dream come true. To those who thought it might become permanent, I really doubt it. Way too many inside Star Wars jokes and things that wouldn't be funny to a non-Star Wars fan at all. But it was great to see. George Lucas was in attendance for the second show and they used Star Wars actors/voices as extras. Great time.

* The fireworks were amazing. THOSE they could do every night or at least during Star Wars weekends. Fantastic use of music with the colors and fireworks. I will see if any of my videos turn out and then post if able.

* Death Star Disco was fun to go today and my daughter got to dance with Darth Goofy.

* Rode Star Tours twice, packed with Star Wars fans, and was a lot of fun with so many people. It became a little like Rocky Horror with the fans shouting out the lines and just having a great time.

* Also went on TSMM for a change of pace. Love the changes.

* Crowds were light to medium, depending on where you are. A manager told me they sold a little over 7,000 tickets to the event. There were long lines to buy merchandise and almost all limited edition items sold out. Everyone we ran into was nice and had great conversations with fellow Disney and Star Wars fans.

Overall, Disney did a stellar job on this event. Kudos!

Im dying to see some high quality videos of this event. I had no chance of ever going there and it would be a shame i could never see this.

My wife and I attended the event (along with most of CV)... it was an amazing night! I did do a HD recording of the second Indy show, but been too busy catching up with work (missing two days last week for CV) to work on the video. Hope to do it in a few days...

I would love to see them turn the event into a hard ticket event during SWW, but only twice over the four weekends. The Hoopla *hoopla* was similar to the SWW from this year, but it seemed longer and had some new stuff. The fireworks were amazing, there were a TON of shells used... I just don't think Disney would spend the money to use this firework show every night of SWW, which is why I think have 2 hard ticket events would be a great idea!

I agree that the Stunt Spectacular Redux probably won't happen, but more so because of the number of cast members and the run time. It was almost 50 minutes long and had a cast of like 20 people. the only way I could see it happening was if they only ran it once a night on SWW.

The fans really did help to make this event. They were all well behaved and enthusiastic. When the fireworks went of there was an "Whoa..." in unison.

Also I was really amazed at how cheap the mixed drinks were at the event. When I go to Halloween Horror Nights the bar tab is usually outrageous, but this event seemed to be really well priced.

On a side note, it was kinda funny seeing them have American Idol open and not a soul in it. I wonder if they actually had anyone to sing.
