June 6-8: Jeremy Bulloch & Daniel Logan

I was actually at Disneyland that weekend. Unfortunately, right day but wrong park on the wrong side of the country. I was bummed. Too bad they don't do these in California.

It would be interesting to see Jake Lloyd almost ten years after Phantom Menace hit theaters. Wonder what he's been up to lately.

Jake was there a couple years ago. he was a pretty cool guy... kind of strange to see him grown up since we all imagine him as lil' anni

I imagine him as Arnold's son in that Turbo Man movie

I hope he ditched that nasty looking beard.

I went the first weekend (Friday and Sunday). It was my first SW Wkend, so I didn't know what to expect. I really enjoyed the experience. I can say that the first day (Friday) was FAR more crowded than Sunday. I highly recommend going on Sunday (unless you want exclusive merch). If you do want merch, go to the warehouse first thing when you get in the park.

Needless to say, I walked away very satisfied with my experience (which is why I decided to go again on Sunday). Strangely, there were superfans dressed up as Vader and Boba in 100 degree weather which I couldn't fathom, to say the least.

^^^i'm happy you enjoyed it. i've been going every year for about four years now. if you want autographs i recommend you RUN to get in line for it. then you go to get the merchandise. last year my GF and i got there an hour early and we still ended up getting stand by for Ray Park's autograph.

I went last Saturday. I took over 100 pictures. You can view them here:

It was a lot of fun, but I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much money. It was the first time I went...

I didn't know that before I went. I got there 20 minutes early. I got a Fastpass for Warwick Davis, then got one for Daniel Logan. I heard Jeremy Bulloch was already giving Standby tickets when I got in Daniel's line, so I didn't even bother trying for him. I figured 2 out of 3 was good enough...

^^true. the good thing is that Warwick Davis, Jeremy Bullock, Peter Mayhew do it every year. so if you really want the Fett's autograph its totally possible.

I have a nephew who is there right now. I made his Jedi robe
I was going to do the whole costume but his parents beat me to the punch and bought him a rubies I had to mod the belt. It fit ME and is intended for a child. Mind you I'm 6' 1" and in reasonable shape but still a child's belt should not fit a 34" waist comfortably.

i agree that Rubies makes some inconsistent products. what did your nephew think about it?? i bet he was freaking out... i get excited when i go to star wars weekends so i can't imagine what a youngster would feel while there.

I'm going during the Secura/Grievous weekend and ,I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before, does anyone know if you can bring your own items to have autographed or do they have their own pictures? thanks

you can bring your own stuff. just remember they search all bags and purses at the gates. last year i brought my SS Darth Maul box and GG statue base to be autographed. i got some weird looks when i took the base out of the bag for inspection.

I think the people that come in costume get in for free.

ugh so that was a disaster.... I knew I had to get to the park early (thanks to everyone's advice) but jeez

I spend close to $500 to get me, my wife and 4 kids into the park and I miss out on everyone's autograph. I couldn't even get on the waitlist for the waitlist lol
the worst part is as I was leaving the park, I pass by Amy Allen, and Matt Wood as they got back from dinner. I had a brief inclination to play fanboy and run up to them and pester them for their signatures, but I thought better of it.

overall, The parade was cool and the star wars decor was nice so a good time was had but the signature thing would've been a nice cherry on top.

Anyhow, anyone else fair better?
