Star Wars Weekends Appearances Schedule

The Disney Parks Blog has released the schedule of Star Wars celebrities for this year’s Star Wars Weekends  held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando!  Celebrity event hosts James Arnold Taylor and Ashley Eckstein will be joined each weekend with a trio of talent.

Also revealed is a photo opportunity with a life-size Rancor and specialty “one-man shows” by James Arnold Taylor, Ray Park, and Warwick Davis.

Highlights for me include Tim Rose (Admiral Ackbar) and Jim Cummings (voice of Hondo Ohnaka and… a slew of other Disney favorites).  Who are you most looking forward to seeing?
