But it wasn’t usually Lando that done a special coming for that final moment. More on that below.
First, holding a step behind to progressing in a day, it was transparent that some of a furriest Star Wars characters were also a many renouned during Star Wars Weekends, including Chewbacca and Wicket, a Ewok.
Even Chip and Dale motionless to get in on a bushy fun this year, enhancing their demeanour with Ewok costumes for a initial time, always sketch a large line.
But one of a biggest stars on a final days of Star Wars Weekends 2013 was a male behind Chewbacca’s bushy external appearance, Peter Mayhew.
Also in assemblage during this final weekend was Tom Kane, voice of Yoda in “The Clone Wars” (as good as Admiral Ackbar in a Star Tours captivate and a 2012 anecdotist of Walt Disney World’s monorails).
There were copiousness of Clone Troopers on palm to safeguard all operated uniformly during Star Wars Weekends.
Some patrolled a backlot streets ensuring all was orderly.
But elsewhere in a park, Figrin D’an and a Modal Nodes (also famous as a Cantina Band) were carrying a good time hamming it adult with guests.

While many of a additional characters combined for this culmination opening of a Hyperspace Hoopla were partial of a daily slight of Star Wars Weekends, Lando was a special addition, a park guest who was asked to be in a uncover after he showed adult to a park in dress on this final weekend, a same weekend a strange Lando himself, Billy Dee Williams, was there to pointer autographs.
Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm and a “Star Wars” franchise, a destiny of Star Wars Weekends is unknown.

But “The Clone Wars” has been cancelled and a new charcterised TV uncover called “Star Wars Rebels” is on a approach subsequent year. It’s expected Star Wars Weekends 2014 won’t be accurately a same as this year’s as Disney takes advantage of what are now their possess characters, as done apparent by Jedi Mickey’s first-ever coming in a Hyperspace Hoopla this year. And with a new trilogy of films and a array of character-based spin-offs on a way, there will roughly positively be even some-more to Star Wars Weekends in 2014 and beyond.
