STAR WARS WEEKENDS 2000
May 5th-May 28th, 2000 The first of the
full blown
Disney Star Wars Weekends takes place and marks its full debut with a
poster:
Billy Dee Williams, according to
officials was the one booked. My search shows that Ian McCaig was a
guest though and I did not see where Billy Dee did appear. It may be he
cancelled and Iain took his place.

listed to have been booked for SW Weekends according to official records,

remembers being there; he's stated if Disney asks him, he goes.

STAR WARS WEEKENDS 2002
May 2002 Disney opts out
of Star Wars weekends. They still call it that, but there are no big
pushes on advertising it, there is not much happening and it's odd to
the fans who would flock in groves as Ep II is released the same time Disney
would hold it's annual event. Officials did not comment on why this was a
non-event. They said they just decided not to do it. No event,
no guests, no poster. But the Ride and Cantina store is open.
