Star Wars characters still at Disneyworld?

[Darkraverap]

Besides Star Tours, is there still a way or place to meet any of the Star Wars characters?

Only during Star Wars Weekends - until they open the new Disney Visa meet & greet at HS. Once that opens, you'll get to meet a couple characters if you have a Disney Visa.

Also, you don't meet any characters in Star Tours. I assume you know that, but just to clarify in case it is confusing to others.

When Launch Bay opens in December, SW characters will be meeting there. There may be more characters out and about during Season of the Force whenever that begins.

Was there a rumour that Mickey and Minnie wouldnt be dressed as star wars characters anymore?

If true what is the reason behind this?

 

[hiroMYhero]

It's true. Lucasfilms' president, K. Kennedy, made that decision during SWW '15. She doesn't want cross-branding to occur and maintains that SW characters should remain true to the movies and TV programs.

Same reason you don't see Mickey and Minnie dressed as Snow White/Prince Charming, Jasmine/Aladdin or Ariel/Eric.

Gotta keep the universe' separate. (It was different when Star Wars was a licensed property)

Huh. Go figure. Glad we did the dinner this year. One of the few times things worked in our favor.

Sorry for sounding thick so star wars isnt licensed anymore?

Just dont understand that they had mickey and minnie dressed in the star wars suits now they have decided they want to keep it separate? Isnt it a bit late for that as they mickey and minnie have been dressing up for years as star wars?

What about three placed/re-scripted Jedi Training Academy? When will that be available?

It should be opening at the same time as Launch Bay. Those two attractions had been predicted to open prior to the SW movie release.
