It's been years since I last visited during a Star Wars Weekend. I would like to do it again sometime. Probably not in the cards this year as we will probably not make it until Oct. or Nov. Maybe next year. :( I still have all the unopened merchandise I stood in line for back in 05.

My bro in law went for that week last year I believe. Told me that stormtroopers where all over MGM studios. He is a major star wars fan mainly darth vader! I was wondering if anyone has some pictures from past star wars weeks. I would love to see some of them, I have never been down for star wars week. Would love to see how Disney works the different characters from star wars into their parks. :)

There are plenty of pics out there. I'll try and find some.... On second thought, it would take a long while to post all the pictures I would want to so if you google search "star wars weekends" and click images, you will get a lot of pics, some new some old.

Anyway, yeah, Stormtroopers are all around. Not to mention Jawas, Ewoks, Clone Troopers, Gamorean Guards (those big green guards at Jaba's palace), not to mention the 501st legion (fans of the saga who make their own costumes).

Good Idea
