Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

well this is kinda shocking...if anyone has been reading the SW comic books and haven't read issue 6...spoiler alert

And this has been my fear with Disney taking over. Unless it's a delusional stalker that gets resolved quickly, then it does surely change the dynamic of a central character. Keep established canon and feel free to maneuver within it - but keep character bios, psyche, traits, and backgrounds consistent with what was already presented. Feel free to go bananas with stuff from post-RotJ, and explore untapped characters and timeframes - but you just can't change character relationship dynamics.

So, am I understanding correctly that the only way to get a M&G with the droids is to miss the Obi-Wan show? or is that only the droids together with Luke and Leia? We don't really care to see Luke and Leia - but the 2 droids are high on the list.

I have not seen the droids out at any other times. Only those 20 to 25 minutes.

Timing question for those who have done the Deluxe FTF package. Would it be possible to do a 9:45 galactic breakfast and still make the parade viewing?

The galactic breakfast takes around an hour, so technically you would have time to get to the area. The only thing I can recommend is trying check in earlier

PP = Peter Pan (??) I assume there are artistic differences between the standard line and the FP line then? We have a FP for Peter Pan - what is the difference between the two lines, then?

See if this helps explain the "Standby Line / Interactive Queue": http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...pan-in-the-attractions-new-interactive-queue/

Scroll down on that page for a video.
You'll miss this with the FP+
The FP+ takes you directly onto the ride.

Adding to the droid situation. Remember that they are not Disney CM , they are part of lucasfilm, That's why they are not even on the MDE schedule. They could come out or not. That's why making a plan and prioritizing is important.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner...I've been running around like a crazy person at work all day and just did a final phone call from home. Hopefully my half day tomorrow won't be so bad, though someone scheduled a call with me for an hour after I'm set to leave. Grrrrr...

Why can't people look at calendars? I mean what's the point of putting info in there if no one is going to bother looking. This happens to DH all the time. What's even worse is that it's with people in PST and we are in CST. So, no one blinks twice about scheduling a meeting during our dinner Have a great vacation.

I'm sorry, I also meant to ask if this is the only time frame for the two droids together, or can they be found separately at other times? I thought that I saw other reports earlier of, say, C-3PO with Luke and/or R2-D2 with Leia, or vice versa. Am I wrong on that? Thanks!

I think that's the only time they are coming out period, except for the parade maybe.

look at the character schedule on page one for Shaak Tii (Under the Jedi Council group)
As fasr as the droids they only come out for about 20 minutes in the evening. Get in line (line for Luke and Leia) no later than 7pm and then they come out around 7:40pm. If you are getting close to the front and it's not time yet let some families pass you.

What if you let families in front of you and they cut off the line?

Well, that's a real bummer.

After Celebration and Abrams talking up how good the droid guys for Force Awakens were, why can't they just hire them to build a reliable R2D2? Or is it not a matter of reliability but something else?

I guess C3PO is just the heat. Maybe they should put him in an air conditioned building for his M&G. What a concept

 

[Teamanderson]

How soon do you have to cancel and reservation to keep from being charged. Is it 24 hours or midnight? I want to cancel one for tomorrow.

 

[soniam]

Well, that's a real bummer.

I hope they fix it, if not this year then next. DS would probably be heart-broken if he couldn't meet R2D2. I know I wouldn't be a happy camper either.

 

[yulilin3]

R2D2 can be seen during the parade. Both droids take part in the PMC family edition and the fireworks pre show.

1 day. I would assume 24 hours before your reservation

 

[Candleshoe]

Ok, night before we leave and I've blanked on where the M&G for Luke+Leia+Droids is. I've memeorized 7PM, just not the location.

I believe it is midnight the day before.

Start letting people in front only when you are about 5 groups from the front. So when they come out you are sure to meet them

Between exit to gmr and abc commissary

They used to meet inside Darth's Mall when it was the big tent behind RnRC. Their meets were more scheduled

@yulilin3
Every time someone says they saw you in the park or you discuss waiting at ABC Commissary, I get this image in my head of a hooded figure, like Fulcrum but with a black cloak I think it's your avatar. I have seen pictures of you, and you were never in a cloak
