Wow, I just saw a picture of Jake Lloyd grown up. Does anyone else think he looks like A.J. Soprano?

Actually James Arnold Taylor is hosting both events and I'm sure Ashley Eckstien will be at Celebration VI along with a strong Clone Wars presence and I also think you won't be seeing Harrison Ford Liam Neesen or Samuel Jackson on the convention floor either. Like Master Yoda said some of the "big names " really have no interest in the fan base which is fine that is there choice.

More of your original trilogy performers is what I meant. Although Samuel Jackson will do any gig if it pays right lol.

You would think that a company that basically prints money between Pixar and Marvel could afford to get some decent star wars actors to come down to Disney World for SW weekends.
Who would you like to see?
I think only a few days before when the guide map comes out. I'll keep my eyes out though.

Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, Natalie Portman, Ewan Mcgregor, Ian Mcdermid, Billy D. Williams, Samuel L. Jackson,etc . George Lucas would be nice to see every now and again too.
And just how much would you mind paying? A few of those individuals are a little busy, and Lucas is basically retired from the Star Wars stuff.....

Thansk Steve.
I'm an odd one, but that would be the big draw for me. I'd even consider a weekend trip down if Zahn or Allston were on the list.

I have to tell you, as someone who made it their goal to meet James Arnold Taylor and Dee Bradley Baker during SWW and succeeded, I have not been let down let. I love the art of voice acting and personally think voice actors work just as hard if not better than half the cast in Hollywood. So to finally meet two of my personal heroes, it was a real honor. I hope one day DHS embarrasses their studio roots and has an animation weekend hosting highlights and talents of animation with various guests.
Tell me about it, I'm going the 4th weekend for Jeremy Bulloch, I wish there were more originals.
Here is the schedule for the opening weekend

I'll be there on Saturday.
Be there early, 'cause the "Lee Meet & Greet" Fastpasses are sure to go quickly...

The paycheck, and a trip for him (and presumably his family/friends) to WDW, probably helps.

To answer some of the random questions I've seen here...
There are a lot of Clone Wars people because the show is still on tv and is pretty popular with the kids.
Carrie Fisher has done SW Weekends, which is the reason I originally went to WDW in the firstplace. She seemed very nice and def doesn't have anything against SW. In fact she got into a public arguement with Willia Shatner over which is better, SW or ST. George Lucas was there for the opening of Star Tours 2. I hear that he is usually there for the first SW Weekend every year, but you most likely won't see him.
Jake Lloyd doesn't hate SW, IMHO. Its true that he was tormented by people for years over it, even in college. There's only so much one can take. I believe I saw an interview where he actually said he was suicidal at one point, which is really a shame that people would push someone to that point. So, if he is willing to do a SW Weekend, go meet him. He's a pretty nice guy and has a killer handshake... I felt wimpy after shaking his hand!
There are some authors scheduled to appear:
Jason Fry & Erich Schoeneweiss Attending June 1-3

Seriously, you have to get a grip. Most of the actors you've listed are making millions per role and SW just happened to be one of them. I understand it's really just a couple hours two days out of the year for them (and yeah, it would be nice for them to take the time to do something like that), but in the end, it's a business. Disney couldn't afford to hire any of those people for the weekend and most are busy making millions doing acting jobs around the world.
What I'd really like to see is more special effects people and concept artists.
