With so much happening at Star Wars Weekend, it was impossible to get everything in a single video. This episode is all about what’s new for 2014. Star Wars Weekend expanded to 5 weekends in 2014, extending the traditional event by a full week. I attended the final weekend, June 13-15, with celebrity appearances featuring Star Wars Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. It also happened to be Father’s Day weekend, and Disney introduces some cool Star Wars father related t-shirts including “The Galaxy’s Best Dad” featuring Darth Vader.
Legends of the Force Celebrity Motorcade.
Darth’s Mall was back in Sound Stage 1, its original
location. I was just in time for the introduction of
the limited edition Star Wars Weekend Magic Bands – available in
Green (Yoda) and Red (Darth Vader), they introduced a bonus
feature. Within Hollywood Studios, when you return for a Fast
Pass using a Darth Vader Magic Band, the kiosk lights up red and
you hear Darth Vader breathing!!! Cool – I can also verify
that the Magic Bands only work at Hollywood Studios and were still
working in October 2014 (Yes, this blog is a little late).
Check out the video!
Star Wars Weekends are full of Star Wars related activities. James Arnold Taylor, the host of Star Wars Weekends, re-caps the day’s events on the main stage right after the celebrity motorcade… Hope you enjoy the preview and future episodes of Star Wars Weekend.
