Home | Travel & Leisure | Travel Tips One of the main draws of the yearly Star Wars Weekends are the movie actors that appear at the events. There are fan meets available with the likes of David Prowse, the actor who played the evil Darth Vader in the original movies. The 2008 event will be hosted by Warwick Davis who played the character Wicket in Return of the Jedi. Another huge attraction is the fact that you can have your photograph taken with Stormtroopers who wander around the theme park, or the daily main parade that features many of the characters from all six of the Star Wars movies. If you're looking for Star Wars Disney style, then some of the Disney characters have been given a Star Wars makeover. Jedi Mickey, Darth Goofy and Princess Minnie attend the park. But the favorite would have to be Stormtrooper Donald, where Donald Duck gets to go around the park in full Stormtrooper uniform. If you've ever wanted to be a Jedi, then you can take part in the Jedi Training Academy and learn the powers of the force. This year we're promised some exclusive suprise announcements, and there has been a fair amount of speculation around what these could be. For example, it has been rumored for a number of years that the Star Tours ride will be revamped with help from the LucasArts Light and Magic engineers. One of the more popular rumors is that George Lucas will make an appearance at the last weekend of the event. True Star Wars fans can only live in hope. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
