the star wars week-end has alll the same activities Fri, Saturday and Sunday?? We are thinking of spending 2 days for the Star Wars days. Originally I thought Friday and Saturday, but everything is the same Sunday I was leaning toward Friday and Sunday since Saturday may have more of a crowd?? Any thoughts?

Saturday is probably the most crowded of the three.

As far as I know, the events are largely the same any day of any SWW. The only thing I know of that changes from weekend to weekend is which celebrity guests are appearing for autographs and in the parade.
 
The JTA on SWW is the same as it is on any other day right? So if I go, lets say on Thursday May 23rd just to do the JTA for my son, will it be as hectic? This way we can do that first, then enjoy seeing other things over the weekend. Just a thought. Any thoughts?

More shows during SWW, and two groups of wee Jedi fighting a different Sith each instead of just one. The Siths will be two of the following: Vader, Maul, Ventress.

hmmm... I guess I'll have to ask him LOL. Thanks! Also her's another silly question, what is PMC?
 

Last year we did the JTA on the Wednesday before the SWW and it wasn't too busy as we wanted to make sure he could do it and it freed up the Friday of the SWW to visit characters, etc

Last year it was at 2:10 and 6:30. My guide map says 'Younglings, use your Star Wars: The Clone Wars knowledge to pass the trivia trials..."

I could have sworn that one of the time slots was for Episode 1 trivia and the other for Clone Wars, but the map suggests not. Anyone remember?

My son is certain his trivia was Episode I at 6:30.

I believe the first day they did only CW but it got too many complaints so they replaced a slot with Phantom Menace. This year the theme is ROTJ so expect it to be that.

Can they tell you at signups which Sith will be in which time slot? Not sure if my kids will want to do it again, but maybe for a different Sith than they've fought before....they've just done Vader.

You do not get to chose who they fight, you can ask but the 2 times we went they divided the kids by younger and older. The younger kids fought on th eelevated platform with DV and the older ones fought on ground level with Ventress (we did not see DM ever fight). My kids were 5/6 and both fought on th eupper platform with DV.

Nope, but I usually see Ventress when I pass.
 
I think it's reasonable SPECULATION based on all the ROTJ merchandise Disney presented at Celebration VI. But you're right, it has not be confirmed.

Yes, it's only speculation, but with all of the ROTJ merchandise it's pretty much a given at this point.
 
My friend went to HS during SWW last year by mistake and she said it was great because there was no one in the Playhouse Disney area or at Beauty and the BEast. Is this true? We will be in the other areas of the parks for the kids but I wanted to see the parade since the kids are not into Star Wars. I have been concerned about long wait times for the kids characters, PLayhouse Disney, Little Mermaid and Beauty and the BeEast.

The park will be crowded regardless and I don't think that's true, so go between Monday-Thursday.

I have never noticed reduced crowds in other locations during SWW. She may have just gotten lucky and hit a lull in the crowds for some reason.
