I wish i live in the U.S. But i don't... as if i could spend so much money tjust to go there, even though i want to...

That's too bad Jaeh. We have annual passes to the Disney parks as we live about 1 1/2 hours away.

We went to Star Wars Weekends last year (our first year going) and had a great time. It's not uncommon to see many guests dressed as their favorite characters from the movies. Here is some footage of how you are greeted at the gates when you get there...

at least i won't see how bad Jake Lloyd looks like now...

just saw his recent pic, and yuck!

I hear he's not the nicest person in the world to meet either....

We have a Sign Here Autographs near us and the owner said Jake was a real jerk.

This year's official logo:

oh darn... i reaalllyy wanna go there but i can't... 🙁

^mickey looks kinda worried...

if someone goes get a pic of jango and boba together they are my favorite characters, oh and did you know that the guy who played boba fett in the old series plays the guy who flys the tantive IV in ROTS

I didn't know that was Jeremy. We will be going back the last weekend and Jeremy and the guy who played Jango/clones in Eps II & III will be there in person 😉

Jango Fett and Boba Fett were available for pics, but not at the same time. I did get a pic with Jango and Zam though.

I took a couple quick vids with my digital camera of the end of the day events which were fun. Posted these last night in Queeq's...
Edit: Who knew he could do this? http://media.putfile.com/Chewbacca-Dance-SW-Weekends-2006

I was laughing so hard I completely forgot to record the beginning of this. The stormtroopers had come on stage and crashed the party and as they were walking off one of them started kind of bouncing to the music. The other one smacked him, then let him walk off stage, waited til he was out of eyesight and went into this funny dance. The beginning was even funnier... http://media.putfile.com/Star-Wars-Dance

Last one was the dance she was talking about at the end of the Chewie vid. The moves are from 1) Jawa, 2) Chewie Chill is Chewie's move when he's winning at chess, 3) Tusken Raiders' favorite move (note the who let the Tuskens out? line), 4) Jedi mind trick, 5) I'm a bounty hunter bang (Jango was visibly unimpressed when they showed him this move), and 6) Light saber move. http://media.putfile.com/Hyperspace-Hoopla

*cries...*

I'd stop going to this thread.. makes me feel jealous... cry

Temura Morrison make me jealous. That man is my hero 😊

Jake isnt looking too fancy these days from the search I've done.

Nope, not interested in meeting him. I will be going to see Temura though when we go back the weekend of June 9th. Hope to be able to get an auto and picture.

I put some pictures up here... http://www.freewebs.com/rhindon/starwarsweekends2006.htm
