I couldn't find anything on the official WDW website, but I found this on http://www.wdwig.com/m_starwars.htm

3/20/02 -- As announced in the 2/22/02 Orlando Sentinel, Star Wars Weekends, normally held at the Disney-MGM Studios in May, will NOT take place this year, even though the new installment of the movie series will debut May 16. A Star Wars event called Celebration II will instead be held in Indianapolis on the first weekend in May.

However, the Disney-MGM Studios will celebrate the nationwide release of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones during the film's opening weekend, May 17-19, with additional Star Wars characters in the theme park, limited-edition pins, and additional Star Wars characters in the Stars and Motor Cars parade. In addition, Star Wars movie fans will have the chance to mingle with more than 20 camera-friendly Star Wars characters who will be circulating in the theme park.

Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World may resume in 2003, according to a Lucasfilms Ltd. spokesperson.
