Wookiees, Jawas and Ewoks, Oh My!: You've seen them on-screen, now see them in person (or in alien, as the case may be)... characters from all five
Star Wars movies, including
Queen Amidala,
Darth Maul,
Jango Fett,
Greedo and more, will roam the Disney-MGM Studios greeting guests, signing autographs and posing for photographs. Even Mickey Mouse gets into the
Star Wars spirit, posing for pictures in his own
Jedi costume.
Star Wars Legends: Visiting
Star Wars celebrities take part in a talk show-style conversation inside the theme park's ABC Theater. Guests hear directly from the actors, actresses and creative minds that have brought the popular film series to life since
Star Wars first debuted in 1977.
To Endor...and Back?: Guests can take flight to the moon of Endor in Star Tours, an action-packed flight simulator that salutes the
Star Wars series. Synchronizing a stunning film with the virtually limitless gyrations of the simulator, the attraction takes guests on a hair-raising, light-speed trip aboard a careening star speeder. The rookie pilot tries his best to get the ship back to port while dodging comets and the Imperial TIE Fighters. Hyperspace members, read more about the
Star Tours attraction here. Obi-Wanna-Be: Throughout each day, young Padawans will be chosen to participate in the "Jedi Training Academy" where Jedi hopefuls learn
lightsaber moves then test their skills against one of the evil
Sith including
Darth Vader himself.
A Galaxy of Collectibles: Collectors and souvenir hunters alike will be drawn to
Tatooine Traders, an area adjacent to the
Ewok Village at the Star Tours attraction, where fans will find event-exclusive
Star Wars merchandise -- from trading pins and commemorative posters to apparel, medallions and other limited-edition items -- created by Disney and Lucasfilm Ltd. expressly for
Star Wars Weekends 2005.
All the activities are included with regular Disney-MGM Studios admission. For the latest
