This June 2008 at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida, you can live in a Star Wars world. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in June, Disney will be offering “Star Wars Weekends” – the “biggest event in the galaxy!”
Star Wars Weekends This June!
The weekends will take place from June 6 to June 29, 2008 and Hollywood Studios will be taken over by our favourite Star Wars characters. You’ll be able to meet over 50 Star Wars characters – imagine walking down the street to be met by Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Leah or horn-headed Darth Maul.
Appearances of Star Wars Characters & Celebrities
Various Star Wars actors will be present for meet and greets, pictures and interviews which will include “behind the scenes” discussions and more. Those who are scheduled to make appearances to date include: Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Daniel Logan (young Boba Fett), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), David Prowse (Darth Vader), Matthew Wood (General Grievous) and Dave Filoni (Director of upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars saga).
Star Wars Attractions and Activities
Jedi Training Academy will give visitors and fans the opportunity of learning the ways of the Force. Star Tours offers a space flight simulated adventure for all the family. Kids under 12 are invited to participate in the Padawan Mind Challenge, a quiz challenge before the Jedi Council.
Hyperspace Hoopla events will take place at the end of each day where the streets are filled with Star Wars characters marching through the streets.
Special for this year, Disney is offering a behind the scenes look at the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movies which tell the story of what happens between Episode and Episode III movies.
