Special Star Wars Day update - Star Wars Weekends 2007

Today we have a special May the 4th update, a look back at Star Wars Weekends in 2007. 

If you've never experienced Star Wars Weekends they are truly a treat for fans of both Disney and Star Wars. And now that Star Wars is officially part of the Disney Universe I think we can anticipate more interaction between the two properties.

A long time ago (well not that long) in a Galaxy (Theme Park) Far Far Away (depending on where you live) ... 

Star Wars: Episode 2007
REVENGE OF THE MOUSE

It is a time of celebration in the republic. The days are gay (it was Gay Days) and our weary travelers have taken their shuttle from the Kingdom of Animals to the remote planet of Disney MGM Studios (as it was named before the evil Mickey The Hutt changed the name). 

Guided by their trusty droid, Hir Oressin and Alphard Quasarghost (thank you Star Wars name generator) embark on their adventure. 

Upon entering the celebration we are confronted by the most vile of Disney Park icon's. Will Mickey the Hutt win again? 

After confronting the evil sorcerer's hat our weary travelers take part in their Jedi training ... or would have if the young Padawan's hadn't beaten them to it. 

Narrowly avoiding the AT-AT our heroes attempt to catch a shuttle to the forest moon of Endor. In the days before Fastpass+ there is no telling what evil awaits them. 

Safely hidden away in the retro spaceport we await R2D2 and C-3PO's instructions on a successful flight. 

At last, safety in the half trees of the forest of Endor. 

What's next for our two stowaways? Perhaps a look at other destinations on the planet of MGM Studios will provide some help. 

After a brief call on their communicator to secure a reservation it is decided that they will eat at the Drive In of Sci Fi. Little did they know they were to be confronted by the oldest of droids and the almighty creator ... code-name WED. 

After refueling, the recruitment by the dark side of the Force continues to grow stronger. 

Agents of the Empire continue to stalk and urge us to join the dark side of the force. 

Does the Empire have no shame? Sending Bounty Hunters after the younglings. 

Even the brutal Tuskan Raiders have been recruited by the mouse. 

At long last our heroes find their traveling band and are able to escape the clutches of Mickey the Hutt

Before the celebration our travelers are greeted by a galactic officer on a warm weather Tauntaun 

Suddenly the Ewok's begin to play along with a parade featuring all kinds of interesting characters

Giant pigs from the planet of THREEE-DEEEEE 

Captain Lightbeer from the Andy system

R2-D2 receives his oil bath and no longer resembles an alien letter receptacle. 

Luke "Bad Wig" Skywalker and Leia Solo wave in celebration in spite of doing absolutely nothing. 

Maybe next time Anakin!!! 

And they lived happily ever after ... (Disney does own Star Wars now so this is probably how Episode IX is going to end)
