Official Star Wars Weekends 2014 Tips and Tricks

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I've only heard of Darth maul and wicket doing special shows. Wonder if chewie or jar jar will do one.

By the way, I've always thought peter Mayhew(chewie) looks like Howard Stern.

Ok, here we go, let's predict:
Weekend I: May 16-18

Ahmed Best: Jar Jar Binks (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace; Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones; Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith; Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Peter Mayhew: Chewbacca (Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith; Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope; Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back; Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi; Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Vanessa Marshall: Hera Syndulla (Star Wars Rebels)

Ahmed Best will be the priority here, even though people don't love Jar Jar it's his first time coming. Followed by Peter Mayhew and Vanessa Marshall


Weekend II: May 23-25

Warwick Davis: Wicket W. Warrick (Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi); Wald (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace)

Jeremy Bulloch: Boba Fett (Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back; Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi); Capt. Jeremoch Colton (Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith)

Tiya Sircar: Sabine Wren (Star Wars Rebels)


I'm giving popularity to Warwick Davis, followed closely by Tiya Sircar (Vampire Diaries) and last Jeremy Bulloch

Weekend III: May 30-June 1

Ray Park: Darth Maul (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace)

John Ratzenberger: Major Bren Derlin (Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back)

Taylor Gray: Ezra Bridger (Star Wars Rebels)

All hell breaks loose...John Ratzenberger HUGE!!!!!!! it'll give a break for people wanting to meet Ray Park, lastly Taylor Gray (He's in the new movie Walt before Mickey) it'll be interesting to meet him

Weekend IV: June 6-8

Mark Hamill: Luke Skywalker (Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope; Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back; Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi); Darth Bane (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Ray Park: Darth Maul (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace)

Billy Dee Williams: Lando Calrissian (Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back; Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi)

Taylor Gray: Ezra Bridger (Star Wars Rebels)

Billy Dee takes the first spot, then Ray Park and Taylor Gray

Weekend V: June 13-15

Dee Bradley Baker: Captain Rex/the Clones, Bossk and several additional characters (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Cat Taber: Padmé Amidala and several additional characters (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Tom Kane: Yoda, the series’ narrator and several additional characters (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Matt Lanter: Anakin Skywalker and several additional characters (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Steve Blum: Zeb Orrelios (Star Wars Rebels)

weekend 5 all voice actors...hard to pick but have to go with Matt Lanter (90210), followed by everyone else

You really think jar jar beats chewie? There's a lot of intense dislike for him. The character anyway, not the actor.

And at sw cons peter Mayhew usually has one of the longest lines.

Just booked the Feel the Force Package for Sat. May 17th! So excited!!! Happy that we we will get some extra touring time because of it.

 

[1153rsmith]

Obviously I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan! I never knew that John Ratzenberger was in any of the Star Wars movies.

I didn't know he was either, but I may get him to sign a Hamm or Mack.

 

[stasijane]

Jar jar for my weekend?? Ugh

Yeah. That was my first thought also.

 

[yulilin3]

I'm calling chewie (I'll call them by character names to make it easier) fur the first weekend.

Toss up between boba fett and wicket second weekend.

Third Darth maul.

Fourth Luke.

Peter Mayhew has been here every weekend and signs super fast, he'll be easy to get.
Same for Jeremy Bulloch
And remember that Mark Hamill is not signing autographs, so no meet and greet with him

That's interesting, did not know peter Mayhew did a lot of sww.

And yeah, I forget he wasn't signing.

I wonder what time we'd need to line up to get peter's.

 

[FencerGirl]

My husband and I are into anime and video games, so Steve Blum was our dream autograph. I'm so excited to see that our weekend is the one he's going to be there! Rob's threatening to bring his copy of Mass Effect 2 for him to sign.

And at sw cons peter Mayhew usually has one of the longest lines.

Almost the same amount as the Ewoks and Warwick Davis's lines are long as well, plus being that he's here for the first time plenty of people will want him to sign a poster or an action figure...
As for Peter Mayhew he's super popular I'm just saying that he signs so quickly he sees a lot of people per minute...meaning that if you show up at DHS at 7am you might still get a fp's to meet him

Peter Mayhew and his wife are some of the sweetest people you'd ever want to meet. We met them at Origins in 2009.

We're going the last weekend. We met Dee Bradley Baker a couple years ago. He was really nice. We knew him as the voice of Klaus from American dad so we were talking about that and he did the voice for us. No one that weekend to get up early for. Seems like it was an afterthought I guess with them adding that weekend anyway. Oh well at least we don't need to get up at the butt crack of dawn! One of these years we will get Jeremy Bulloch for my Boba Fett loving boyfriend.

 

[yulilin3]

And Ashley Eckstein is hosting Behind the Force Star Wars Voices

I know you have to pay for the Feel the Force event up front, but does anyone know what the cancellation policy is on it? I'm on the fence, but would hate for it to get booked by the time we decide. If I can book and cancel later, I might go ahead and jump. I just saw where I can still book online.

The voice actors, especially Dee Bradley and James are amazing. My daughter has got them all recording personal voice mail messages on her phone. So if you call her you can her the Tom Kane as Yoda (you have reached the phone of xxx leave a message...or Dee Bradley did it in the voice of Commander Cody and James did it will all the voices from Johnny Test

How bad will Warwick's line be? How does this work again? Get in line before the park opens?

I'm another one that's never watched Star Wars *hiding* but DS loves it. However, I AM a fan of Harry Potter & Leprechaun is just CLASSIC! I'd love to meet this guy! Do they do autographs too?

 

[nancipants]

Ahmed Best is awesome and hilarious. I'm really looking forward to seeing him play off James Arnold Taylor. It's kind of sad that people don't want to see him just because he played a character they found annoying.



I'm happy a bunch of actors from Rebels will be there. And yay, Matt Lanter returns!

But Weekend 4 is going to be ridiculous with Mark Hamill, Billy Dee, AND Ray Park there. Too bad they couldn't have spread those guys out.

It's 1 day before

Cool,

I think I am going to book just to be safe. Not having to rush for a spot for the parade will save us an hour or 2.
