Any Star Wars character M&Gs?

[BensWife]

We went to WDW last year for Star Wars Weekends. My boys LOVE all things Star Wars. They even got to do Jedi Training, my 4 year olds pride and joy of the trip! I know they have Jedi Training at DLR, but it is more of a guess on who they will pick. Do they ever have a meet and greet with the characters after the show? If they aren't picked to be on stage, we would at least like to let them meet the characters. Any info you have for this would be great.

On a side note, any tips for getting kids picked for the show? Thanks!

We experienced a m&g with darth Vadar and darth maul once, but they only did it because they had had to cancel the first three sessions of the JTA that day. I don't think it is common for them to do these meets in general. As for getting picked, lots of people say make a sign, but we've never used one, and my son has always been picked. He usually wears something star wars themed (t shirt or a costume). We always sit in the very front corner, right where the jedi master enters. They tend to pick the kids who are a) super enthusiastic and b) following their instructions. Good luck!

They had a Darth Vader and Stormtroopers M&G during MHP with a super cool Star Tours light up background. When we went it was 2 storm troopers, no DV.

And although it's not a dedicated M&G, there are random sightings of storm troopers in the ST/Tomorrowland area. They're in character and they "boss" people around a little telling them to "clear out the area" and all that! We got a picture with a storm trooper in front of the Astro Orbitor and we also saw them later taking pictures with people near the restroom area on the side of Plaza Inn.

As the PP said, Darth Vader and/or Darth Maul will do a M&G in lieu of Jedi Academy. So they're only available when Jedi Academy has been cancelled (often for weather). Otherwise, the only times that Darth Vader is available as a M&G is during Mickey's Halloween Party. The stormtroopers (usually a pair) are pretty common and can be found in Tomorrowland. As the PP said, they do not have a set M&G location (or time), so you just have to keep your eyes open. I have read that you can stop by Guest Services and ask if and when a character will be out and about and they might be able to help you.
