Interesting update on the hat and GMR. Wonder if they'll be done by SWW? http://wdwnt.com/blog/2014/11/break...reat-movie-ride-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/

Is that the one I posted on fb? I had my doubts too. And figured I have enough SW friends who wouldn't hesitate to tell me if it was bogus.

Will WDW do anything special before the movie opens next December? We are huge SW fans and are wondering when or if they will have any special events in the 2 weeks before the new movie opens.

I hope they do but they haven't done anything special for any other movie.

I've read on rumor threads about scenes from VII to be added to Star Tours.

That would be great considering what goosebumps the teaser gave us all assuming this movie will be awesome. Either way, 2015 couldn't come quicker with Star Wars Weekends, Star Wars Celebration and the release of the movie itself!

Sphere bot?
Light Saber hilt?
LENS FLARES FOR EVERYONE.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Hi all. Couple of questions -

I see the DHS times posted on the wdw site current have the park opening at 9 am on June 6/7 - I'm thinking it will change to 8 am once SWW is announced. Is this probably what will happen, or do you think they really open at 9 am this year?


Also about the Jedi Training Academy. My son has done this twice on non-SWW days. He loves it. But he is interested that he might be able to fight other villains during SWW.
Is there a way to determine which group your child is in? Meaning, can you ask for a certain villain to fight?
And who are the other villains - Darth Maul and Ventress? Are they at every show along with Darth Vader?

thanks!

Past years, park hours changed and a Fantasmic show was added. And they started letting people in around 7:30 am, so if you arrived at 8am, you were already a bit behind.

For JTA, it's pot luck who you get. Vader is always on the stage. Either Ventress or Maul were on the bottom. Hope they add the Inquisitor this year! Intinkso would know if they double sets were at each show. I'm not sure. Each one we stopped and watched last year had two groups. One on the stage and one on the ground.

Yes, double sets will be held at each session and the sessions will begin every 30 minutes. The smaller Younglings get placed in the group that is onstage to fight Vader. The taller Younglings are in the group in front of the stage where they may face Maul, Ventress or Ahsoka.

Depending on how the shows are running and not getting bogged down by underage kids, if a Youngling asks the Padawan for a specific group (onstage or on the ground) when she or he first enters the JTA show area, the request may be granted. It just depends on the Padawan and how nicely the Youngling asks. I've watched very tall Younglings get switched around so they could face Vader.

Ahsoka? Really? I haven't watched all of the Clone Wars yet, but I know she leaves the Jedi Order.... Is she really considered a bad guy?

 

[The Sunrise Student]

Well it's December, anyone else officially on pins and needles waiting for the official announcements? I am pretty sure we have figured out the dates though...

I have booked as much as I can until new stuff is announce, I did notice that H&V is still locked out just checked this morning!

PS on another note, I tore into my Stormtrooper helmet starting to get that together. I'll be sure to put links out here of my progress. I am still waiting on my body armor.

PPS Joker Squad stormtrooper (extended universe) I have the full set including helmet now. We are just waiting for 501st to approve a build before I cut into that one and make the correct modifications.

PPPS Imperial Officer Uniforms are in progress, all materials and accessories are in!

Yes I know I am crazy, between updating current costumes and making new ones for myself and helping my boyfriend with some of his I am working on 7 costumes at once.

When Ventress is scheduled for the show, Ahsoka is the Jedi Master's apprentice. My Padawan-source had lumped the three of them together because they are only on the ground level groupings.

Ah, I get it now. Ahsoka is so cute! My youngest DS would flip, he loves Ahsoka!

About what time does Ventress show up? We've always done the early shows (either first or second show of the day) and always had Darth Maul.
