Thanks for the update, Amor4Pooh!

Okay, I though the artwork with Artoo projecting a hologram of Sorcerer Mickey was cool, but this ....

from the starwars.com website

.... has me wondering if they will feature other Disney characters in Star Wars roles.

Donald as Han Solo?

Goofy as Chewbacca?

Chip and Dale as Jawas???

Cute. I wonder if my payback for dragging Blaine to pin events will be SW weekends.
How many pins are involved?

 

[Eeyore's Pal]

I absolutely love Mickey & Minnie as Luke and Leia!

Can't wait to see what else is in store.

Luckily we will be in WDW for two SW weekends this year!
