My Photo Album from Disney's Star Wars Weekends 2013

The voice of Ahsoka Tano shares her photos and memories from Star Wars Weekends!

Being the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars has truly changed my life. It's given me the opportunity to do so many amazing things, and one of the opportunities I'm most thankful for has been the chance to co-host Disney's Star Wars Weekends, which I've done for the past five years. I had a blast this summer with my fellow cast mate, James Arnold Taylor, as we spent a month at Disney World meeting fans and celebrating Star Wars!

I took SO many photos and thought I would share some of my favorites. Check them out after the jump!

This was my view from the stage during the motorcade. It's amazing to look out and see a sea of Star Wars fans!

Here's another shot that I got from the stage during the motorcade! I love this shot of the Stormtroopers leading the crowd.
