These have been a REALLY long time coming, especially since it was over a month ago. But I have been so busy with work that I've literally had no time to even eat more than a granola bar!
But Star Wars weekends were the highlight of my Disney Summer. Every summer around the end of May, Disney's Hollywood Studios hosts four weekends dedicated to purely Star Wars!! They bring in actors from the movies and they have special characters for meet-n-greets. It was SO cool. All the dorks come out in their home-made costumes and people will start lining up at 4 in the morning to get a ticket to go see people like Billy Dee Williams or the original Boba Fett to get their autographs. I was FAR too tired to get up early enough to get those fast passes but I did get to see some from far away!!
These are the awesome pictures I was able to get. They're from two different days... my first day I wore my Chewbacca t-shirt and I went with my roommate Alyssa and met up with her friend Nitin. The second day I wore my Millennial Falcon t-shirt and went with Alyssa and a friend from church.
Peter Mayhew!! He's HUGE!! Notice the Chewie shirt he has on...
R2-MK was wheeling around the park with a Jedi-clad Mickey
Vader ended the Star Wars parade! For some reason all my photos were added backwards

He's giNORMous!! His hands are bigger than my whole head!
Ray Park!!! He was there all month and he'd do a martial arts show but it was hard to get into
R2... he's so cute
Mace Windu is the man and I LOVE that green guy
Jedi gal
Chewie!!!
The Ewoks are freaking awesome
Sand people and the Leia/Bounty Hunter
More sand people with sand babies
Ooo-chi-chi
Some of these guys looked like they'd seen actual battle
This is an actual fan club that help put on Star Wars weekends and they get to do the parade in their own costumes
My niece Susanna was convinced these guys were ninjas
501st Legion was the name of the club
True nerds here
Their costumes were crazy detailed
I think these two guys didn't get the memo that there was only ONE Anikin
Storm Trooper Donald and friends started the parade
Darth Goofy wears Mickey Boxers?
Princess Minnie
Master Mickey riding an X-wing fighter with pilot in front
This Darth Maul was crazy thin and kept jumping out at me and freaking me out
In the front of the park they had storm troopers patrolling the roof of the entrance. Here they're arguing about the peculiar small droids the people are holding that are flashing (aka; cameras)
Alyssa and Will... we were all so excited that we couldn't stop taking pictures... we all wore Star Wars shirts too
Storm trooper patrolling
Me, Darth, Alyssa, and Nitin
Jango... Boba kept running off on a Bounty
HAUTT storm trooper! We wanted to kiss his face off!!
C3PO actually talks to you and R2 moves, beeps, and moves his gadgets to you!! I actually had a conversation with C3PO, he's very polite
C3PO smacking R2 for running me over
Talking with C3PO
He's admiring my shirt
Chewie is my fave... totally cried when I saw him. We waited 45 minutes in line to see him
He loved my shirt
HUGE hug... Wookie Hug> Bear Hug
