Star Wars Weekends Update
May 09, 2003

[ Star Wars Weekends 2003 Guest List ]Star Wars Weekends is a few days away. For five consecutive weekends, the Disney-MGM Studios in Florida transform into a celebration of the Star Wars saga, with celebrity guests, fun activities, costume characters and more.

Please take note of an important scheduling change regarding the weekend of May 30, 31 and June 1. Joining Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi / Nute Gunray) on that Star Wars Weekend is Mike Quinn, a performer from the classic trilogy. As a young puppeteer, Quinn performed the memorable role of Nien Nunb, Lando Calrissian's co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon in Return of the Jedi. Quinn also assisted in the puppetry of Yoda, the Jedi Master, and Admiral Ackbar as well. Quinn now works as a computer animator, and was part of the Attack of the Clones crew.

Joel Edgerton, the actor who played young Owen Lars in Episode II, sends his regrets but last minute scheduling conflicts means he won't be able to attend.

The current celebrity guest schedule is as follows, but as always, keep checking starwars.com for the latest information:

May 16,17 & 18 - Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian)
May 23, 24 & 25- Andy Secombe (Watto) and Warwick Davis (Wicket)
May 30, 31 & June 1 - Silas Carson (Ki-Adi-Mundi) and Mike Quinn (Nien Nunb)
June 6, 7 & 8 - Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett)
June 13, 14 & 15 - Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett) and Michonne Bourriague (Aurra Sing)

Also, as an update, here's a look at the Star Wars Weekends keepsake coin that will be available as part of the exclusive merchandise during the event. The coin features the artwork of Yoda and Mickey Mouse by Randy Noble, and comes in a plastic display case. It has a limited edition run of 500.
