Star Wars Weekends 2006

I had the pleasure to be at Disney's MGM Studios from Friday May 19th through Sunday May 22nd to be part of the first weekend for Star Wars Weekends 2006.  Below are some pictures I took during the events.


Entrance to MGM Studios

The stage outside Star Tours where a lot of the events were held

Each day stormtroopers would put on a skit on top of the ticket booth before the park opened

Posters lined the park

Tattoine Traders the Star Tours gift shop (open all year not just SW Weekends)

A scaled X-wing inside 'Wicket's Warehouse' a special gift shop just for SW Weekends

Jedi Mickey starts of the 'Legends of the Force: A Star Wars Celebrity Motorcade'

501st was on hand for the Motorcade

These Jedi were credited as being in the 501st? Perhaps the Rebel Legion?

Disney cast members in motorcade dressed as SW characters

Peter Mayhew--don't he look like Chewie

Didn't mean to catch him with that pose LOL

The evening event was called Snyg and Oopla (Disney Cast member characters) Hyperspace Hoopla--it was games and dancing

Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes had a "Battle of the Bands" with the MGM House Band

Disney Cast Members dressed as SW Characters were at the Hoopla

Jawa, Greedo, and Chewie competed in a 'Dating Game' for a date with a single girl from the audience

Chewie Won! LOL

Jango crashed the dance called the "Hoopla Hustle"

They sang at the Hoopla LOL

The Hoopla was broken up by a Stormie who danced after everyone left LOL

The Modal Nodes won the Battle of the Band by suddenly switching from the Cantina Theme to "Pump It" by the Black Eyed Peas as well as some other raps

Throughout the park were Disney Cast Member dressed as Star Wars characters

He really looked like Anakin

Wonder if he can act better than Hayden (sorry had to say it LOL)
