Candlelight narrator?

[Tink1987]

I'm thinking it has to be Mark Hamill if they are being so hush hush about it.

This was the first person my husband mentioned when I told him about all this. Especially after the Star Tours thing a couple of weeks back.

Haha, I'm loving the speculation and suspense! How about this: a Star Wars Candlelight Narrator Relay - Mark Hamill handing off to James Earl Jones handing off to Harrison Ford handing off to Chewbacca!

I have mixed feeling about this. A superstar for a narrator would be great, but at the same time, if it is someone amazing, I think it will be even harder to try to get a glance at the show.

Honestly, I wonder if they didn't have someone set and that person ended up being publicly shamed for something they did in their past and now Disney is scrambling to even find a narrator. That actually makes more sense to me than it being someone super famous, as if that were the case they would be making crowd control issues worse by not announcing it as everyone will show up out of curiosity instead.

I have no idea what is going on, but dont understand why if it were Mark Hamill it would be so hush hush. I know the new Star Wars movie is coming out and all, but it is not like Mark Hamill is a superstar that everyone is dying to see. But then again, what do I know. Guess we shall see soon!

President Obama would be a great narrator

President Obama would be a great narrator

I wondered about this as well. I wondered if he would be invited as a way to offset the opening of the Hall of Presidents with the Trump addition, which I believe is scheduled to open soon. (Or is already overdue.)

I have a couple of other ideas, but Hamill is the logical one. Obama is in Asia, so had ruled him out.

I actually wondered if it could of been John Lasseter? For the exact same reasons you have mentioned above

 

[Yusani]

My husband and I were wondering if it had been John Lasseter last night as well.

...Obama is in Asia, so had ruled him out.

Bill Clinton is speaking in San Francisco today, so he is a possibility (at least geographically).

Seriously? With everything going on in the news lately? No chance at all.

I read elsewhere that Tom Hanks has been in the park this week. It may be him.

I’m getting too excited with all these great names being thrown in

Okay new guess. Jordan Fisher.
Pictures from fans on Instagram have him in the park the last two days, so he is definitely there.
He has several Disney and ABC connections. He is also a fan of the parks. Doesn't he sing the new firework song at MK? He was in Moana and he just won DWTS
ETA: In his instastory he posted a pic of driving into GCH a couple days ago and he is posting instastories of touring with plaids and his failure at Buzz.

I don't even know who that is.

 

[tink89]

I don't even know who that is.

Me neither. I even looked him up and still don't know lol. I am guessing some Disney show star or something. Probably DD knows.

I am not even going to be in the parks for this. We arrive on the 27th but the thread is keeping things exciting coming up with all the possibilities.

 

[disneyland_is_magic]

He is more a youth craze, I had to refresh my memory but he seems to have a long term relationship with Disney and popping up in several places. Oliver showed him in one of his new blogs at WDW.
I could easily see him being either their original choice or someone they asked to fill in at the last minute since he just finished taping DWTS.
He does sings HEA for the fireworks. He made a really nice post the other day saying how humbled he still is about it.

It's still just a WILD guess though...

He wouldn't qualify for not announcing. He wouldn't be someone everyone would be trying to see. Too many would be like the ones above going "Who's that?"

BTW - He played Laurens and Phillip in Hamilton on Broadway, a Disney minor star, and won Dancing with the Stars this past season. He has been at the park a lot since the summer. We sat with him for Fantasmic in Sept. My niece was excited to get a pic with him....

Oh man, my DD would have gone crazy if she had seen him in the park.
