So trying to plan my day at star wars weekend next sat the 17th.
Plan on being there at park at opening.
I'm trying to find a schedule of times for meet and greets and special events, but we can't seem to find one?
Can anyone point me in the right direction on planning for star wars weekends?

Autograph Opportunities: As always, there is no additional charge for the celebrity autograph sessions at Star Wars Weekends. The autograph lines will once again be handled via a FASTPASS-type system. An extremely limited number of FASTPASS tickets are distributed on a first-come, first served basis at Disneys Hollywood Studios main entrance, to the right of the turnstiles. Distribution may begin prior to park opening based on demand. You must have a FASTPASS ticket to receive an autograph. To receive a FASTPASS ticket:
Join the line of the celebrity you would most like to meet. You may not save a place in line for other party members.
While in line, you will receive a wristband. Your Theme Park admission media and wristband allow you to receive one FASTPASS ticket. Only one autograph FASTPASS ticket per Guest. Each Guest must be present to receive a FASTPASS ticket. You may not get FASTPASS tickets for other members of your party.
After receiving your ticket, continue to wear your wristband. You will need to be wearing your wristband to get an autograph. Your FASTPASS ticket will have a designated autograph return time. Until that time, you may enjoy other Star Wars Weekends activities.
At your designated time, proceed to the Celebrity Autograph Location at Echo Lake to show your wristband and present your FASTPASS ticket. Once FASTPASS tickets for visiting celebrities are distributed, we may distribute a limited number of stand-by tickets with a return time. Stand-by tickets do not guarantee you an autograph.

The 10-minute experience, housed this year in Darth's Mall (in Soundstage 1 between Studio Backlot Tour and Toy Story Midway Mania), uses a high-resolution, single-shot 3D face scanner created by Imagineering scientists with Disney Research labs. The captured image is sent to a high resolution 3D printer to create a figurine. This year, two new figurine styles -- Alderaan Princess and X-Wing Pilot -- will be available along with last year's Carbon-Freeze Me and Stormtrooper figurines. (There are both male and female options offered for X-Wing pilot, Carbon-Freeze Me and Stormtrooper figurines. For children, Alderaan Princess and Carbon-Freeze Me figurines will have more youthful appearances.)
PRICE: The Star Wars D-Tech Me 7-inch figurines are $99.95 each, plus shipping and applicable sales tax. New this year are 16-inch figurines, which retail for $1,499.95 each, plus shipping and sales tax. Completed figurines will arrive within 7-8 weeks after the experience if shipping domestically (longer if shipping internationally).
To book, call 407-WDW-TECH (407-939-8324). The experience will only be offered during Star Wars Weekends 2014.

A valid accepted credit card number is required at time of booking.

Children must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age or older during the entire experience. Certain restrictions may apply.
