Star Wars Weekends 2013

[ThemeParks4Life]

Disney announced the SWW 2013 dates will be, shocker, May 17-June 9! Celebrities have yet to be announced, by James Arnold Taylor and Ashley Eckstien will be back hosting.

Glad to see that they are hosting again because they do a great job every time. I just hope that with Disney having the rights to do anything they want with Star Wars, they bring something new to the table this year.

I'm just hoping because of ROTJ's 30th anniversary they bring in OT actors.

James Arnold Taylor confirmed on his blog Dave Filoni will be coming.

Disney confirmed Ray Park for the first two weekends and Warwick Davis for Weekends 2 and 3.

Warwick Davis hasn't been here since 2009 so this is a good thing.

 

[Eckert]

I wonder if this is because they genuinely can't get anyone else or it's just a case of complacency.

Then again, Star Wars fans will spend money on ANYTHING Star Wars related, so why bother?

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

The celebrities get paid for each autograph, so Disney chooses who they want to come.

I'd love to meet Warwick just to ask him about Karl Pilkington

I'm gonna ask a bunch of them if they're returning for Episode VII

With the recent announcement that the Clone Wars was done, I wonder (and hope) if the CW-reated stuff will be dialed back. With Eckstein and Taylor hosting, I guess not.

They were announced as hosts prior to cancellation, but the series will continue in some form, so I wouldn't say their completely gone yet.

I'm surprised Disney isn't stopping SWW until they can "find out how to leverage it with the upcoming trilogy" like they have with every other good thing about SW that was in the works.

Discontinue a cash cow? Never! Then again, Clone Wars was a cash cow.....

I have never attended a Star Wars Weekend at DHS, are they worth attending?

Clone Wars is probably making a move to Disney XD and not ending. Just the contract with cartoon network is up, not the show itself.

Nope. It's been confirmed that it's ending.

The merch is looking pretty bad this year, to be honest.
