For the Celebrity Autographs at Star Wars Weekends, do I need an autograph book or something for them to sign, or will they have a promotional shot that they sign and hand out?

Also, if I want both autographs from the actors and limited edition merchandise, which is best to do first? Get in line at the store (4 hour waits, reported)? Or get in line for the limited number of Autograph Fast Passes? Any suggestions?
 
I've been to SWW the last 2 years. To do both (merchandise and celebrity autographs) you probably need 2 days. As far as I know, the celebs have promo materials to sign, but a lot of people have them sign merchandise. It just depends on how you want to display it.
 
Yesterday, they did not have promotional headshots to sign. People were giving them autograph books, posters, t-shirts, etc.

As for the merchandise/celebrity thing, we didn't do either first thing in the morning, so I don't know how that worked out, but the new system for merchandise in the large soundstage next to WWTBAM seemed to work better than previous years. They had order forms that were handed out before getting up to the cashier which seemed to make thing faster as well.

Good luck!!
 
Thank You both so much for the help. Belle Amy what DID you do first thing then, if I may ask?
 

I definitely wouldn't wait this long for a few autographs. :wizard:
 
Today, they were handing out celebrity headshots as you walked by. They were copies of an autographed headshot. No wait.

The FPs for the celebrity autographs were given out starting at 9am near Indiana Jones. They went very fast. I walked up to the line waiting for Warwick Davis's autograph and got a couple of great pictures of him without standing in line.
 
Thank you so much for the information! Anything else you can tell me about it would be great!
 
Check out my trip report on it here . Must have missed the head shots. My mistake.
 
Do you happen to have a scan of the merchandise forms? I need to figure out if there's any limited edition stuff I need or if I just want some general SWW merchandise.

Thanks.
 
great question i did not even think of that now i know. cant wait getting so close i can hear and feel the fun im about to have
 
I will be at Disney June 11 and was wanting to visit MGM for Star Wars autographs. If I am there at opening will I be able to get an auto or is it possible I may still not get one? Also would I need a fastpass for each auto?

Be sure you at the front gate well before opening. They will let people go to get the autograph FPs at 9am, but they take them over to the area in a line based on when you got there. No, you are not guaranteed to get a FP. Many people didn't.

Can I ask where you line up for this outside the parK? We were there last year for opening weekend and will be there June 10 & 11 this year. We didn't do the autographs last year. When we arrived (about 30 minutes before opening), we lined up in front of the middle turnstyles and had a great view of the Stormtroopers. Where should I stand to make it easier for us to get FPs? We are staying at the swan we can easily arrive early.
