I have been checking regularly for a schedule of celebrities visiting during Star Wars weekends. Last year, the schedule for celebrity autographs was posted a little over a month before the weekend's began. Have I missed something? Other than Mark Hamill, I have not heard of anyone else attending. The weekend's begin in three weeks (and three days). This is cutting it close and making it very difficult for fans to plan a trip for a desired weekend. Has anyone heard why they are withholding the scheduled celebrities? After my experience last year, this is a huge draw for fans.

Finally.
Weekend IV will be a tad busy.
Just got the message from Disney. Thanks Robert. They certainly waited long enough to post this. Week 4 would be amazing and I'm sure incredibly crowded. Hmm. We will be there for the first weekend. Tempted to try and find a way to get there for week 4.
No idea what will happen to Ahmed Best. He voiced the MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER OF ALL TIME!
Ahmed Best was a very good guest to appear. I saw the Stars of the Saga talk show on Friday and Saturday. He wasn't just the voice, that came after his ground breaking computer capture body acting. You know that "white balls on a body suit" motion capture work, well he was the first and all the movement of Jar Jar was a computerized generation of his actual movement. He actually was on set in a Jar Jar suit during all the filming and the computer generated Jar Jar was overlaid onto his form. His work as the voice of Jar Jar came after many other people tried out and he suggested himself to Lucas since he already did other voice work.
I was as shocked as you probably are that he was in SWW this year but he was actually a very good addition.
I used FastPassPlus for both shows and you must get in line about an hour ahead of time even for this if you want a good seat. It takes a long time to scan all the FP people and they were actually letting in stand-by people and filling the theater before even half the FP people got in.
However, between Friday and Saturday they seemed to adjust how they did this. The rows closest to the stage were blocked from stand-by people getting in them until all the FP people got seats, then the SB were allowed into the front half seats that were not taken. Friday, I had to sit way to the side, Saturday I got a decent seat in the center.
They also have the expensive $500 a day VIP packages and those people got the best seats down front and center.
