Official 2018 Star Wars Dark Side Weekend

[Jaxy0408]

First time disney runner, hitting expo after we land Friday AM. Any tips or items I should not miss.

Starting to get concerned about this half marathon did Hot Choclate 15K 2 Saturdays ago and strained calf, have not ran once since, but calf feels great. Hoping to run on Saturday am for 2 or 3 miles.
TIA
Jim

Where was the Jabba photo op, and is it the usual one from pre/post race photos?

It was in the new building as you exit the official march area. They also had some of those white space soldier guys there too.

I’m staying offsite can my husband drop me at a resort to catch the bus with a friend?

Edit: for the half

Storm Troopers (I’m surprised none of you guys sent Queen Keels flashcards)

People have tried to help, but I'm just going with my made up names like Space Bear and Worm Dude.

To be fair... most of what @Keels has said has been fairly accurate descriptions of the characters. (I'm questioning the black robot)

It's basically based off these outfits that you can buy at the Expo:

I always call the Gold one Data and my husband always says "That's the wrong Star series..."

I thought he was like a moving Oscar ...

OMG... 'black robot' = Darth Vader. She had good names till that one lol

Honestly, I probably could've figured that one out actually ... but I didn't get a close look at the hat and I just saw the robot shirt. So, Black Robot it is!

 

[SarahDisney]

Okay, that does look like a robot.
Although Dath Vader is not fully robot.
(My favorite description of Darth Vader comes from That 70's Show - Red calls him "guy with a breathing problem" when Eric is trying to teach him about Star Wars)

I also liked the little figurine they had of Whirly Ball with a replica medal on. I wish they would do that race-specific for other races.

Calling him a cyborg could work.

I was expecting you to describe BB8 as a soccer ball.

What is a soccer ball?

(Just jokes, people ... just jokes.)

Honestly I’m surprised they put Nike on that manakin.
