Star Wars Character News
Bad news guys. I know many of you wanna meet the Star Wars characters, but due to many reasons that have popped up recently, the meet and greets with Darth Vader and some of his Stormtroopers at Star Tours has been disncontinued until further notice.
Also, the Jedi Training Academy is gone. They were attempting to make it a permanent show, but until everything gets straightened out, it's gone as well. I'll keep you posted if they come back.

Hey Rowdy, I hope there isn't any strife between Disney and Lucasfilm!

Re: Star Wars Character News
Thanks, Matt. I was hoping the Jedi Training would be around all the time, my DS loved getting to do it in May. He stills talks about beating Darth.

Re: Star Wars Character News
Thanks for the news. Bummer... But did I miss part of the story? What 'reasons' or "recent reasons" are you alluding to? Something happen?

That is a major bummer. I was looking forward to that.

Re: Star Wars Character News
I figured it would be gone by the time we went in January, one more reason to go in May for a second trip next year.

Re: Star Wars Character News
Even if things are good, I still bet it has to do with licensing. Remember, the Toy Story Character Breakfast is on-hold for that reason, and Disney owns Pixar now.

Re: Star Wars Character News
Bummer, my 4 year old daughter LOVES Darth Vader. (Should that make me worried about the kind of guy she's going to bring home when she is of dating age?). I have pictures of her posing with the Darth Vader display at MGM last year when she was only 3... I don't get why she thinks he's "cute." LOL. When I was little I had crush on R2. LOL.
DH will be bummed too...

Re: Star Wars Character News
Hmm! One more thing I've missed and won't get to see! Bummer!
OH man, has Dewey seen this thread? He's likely to sink into depression!
