Mostly the same crew. Excited that we will be seeing Anthony Daniels (C3PO) and Bruce Spence (Jedediah the pilot in the Mad Max movies). Already met Ray Park a few times at past SWW. Too bad we can't get Luke, Leigha, and Han to attend.

I'm so excited to meet Matt Lanter! I expect a lot of teenage girls there that week, lol.

Some of us boys like him, too. :)

I'd love to see him...too bad I'm going the first weekend. :(

He's all sorts of fine...

Though I doubt I'll hang out to see AD, it would be neat - but just not worth waiting hours and hours to get a quick autograph for me.

I swear weekend one seems sparse, and rumors still abound about George Lucas making an appearance for the opening of Star Tours 2. Is it possible Disney is keeping a few tricks up their sleeve? Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

I hadn't heard that one yet. Not terribly surprising if it's true - a nice touch.

I'm wondering what kind of opening the ride will have. Don't they usually do the "official" opening (ribbon cutting, etc.) on a press day? And so far there doesn't seem to be a press day.

I would love a ribbon cutting ceremony once we get over to that area. Everything seems a bit different for this opening than others, will be curious what details come out in the next couple of weeks.

I wanted to meet Lando last year! Oh well, might try to meet Anthony Daniels if I'm free during a SWW.

I met him last year. I felt bad for him honestly. Due to his "health conditions" he had to be inside the final room for Sounds Dangerous so he would be out of the hot sun. He just seemed... weathered, I guess is a kind way of putting it. I thanked himf or coming out for the fans and got to shake his hand, but the years have not been too kind. Still an amazing experience that I'll have for the rest of my life though. I can't believe it was my first Star Wars Weekends since I love both Disney and Star Wars. I hope I can make it out to a few more before the cast from the original trilogy passes on or can't make it out.

Any huge Star Wars fan that doesn't think it's worth it to go at least once and get up at 5am to stand in line for Fast Passes for autographs is dead wrong. Please try and do it for yourself. I got to meet Billy Dee Williams (Lando), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and my fiancee was infatuated with meeting Ray Park (Darth Maul) even though she didn't know who he was really. Haha. She loves Star Wars, but she knew his performance from Heroes better. :)
