Star Wars Weekend just ended at Disney Hollywood Studios, Orlando, but it was totally cool. We went last Saturday night and enjoyed it immensely. In addition to the regular park activities there were all the well known characters roaming the streets and several times during the day there was a stage show that was great.
They billed it as a dance off between the forces of the rebellion and the empire that started with a hip hop version of the emperor and his bad guys. Then Chewbacca (the best dancer there) came out with the Ewoks and two versions of Princess Leah. They danced a great show for about 45 minutes and at the end the crowd got to cheer for the winner. It was like any outdoor show. You could see from where I was standing there was a tremendous crowd. I had to raise my camera to get anything and we got there 30 minutes before showtime.
The weather hampered the street contacts with the characters a lot that day but other than that it was a great show. Check out the entire show on YouTube. A lot of folks have filmed it over the past month so you will enjoy it. At the end of the judging Darth Maul comes out and does a routine with his double light saber. He is totally bad and the kids love seeing this guy. I was very impressed with the dance routines and music.
Star Wars Weekend was very entertaining and we loved the whole thing. Can't wait to see what they do next year!
