Star Wars Weekends

So the new logo is out and there can be no doubt that while Star Wars Weekends will have a strong Clone Wars presence there is an eye on celebrating the 30 year anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.  If you were to poll long time Star Wars fans on which movie was their favorite of the entire saga, Empire traditionally comes out on top.  So this years theme coupled with Lucas’s own Celebration V event later this year should get Star Wars fans excited.Read more

The official logo for 2010 Star Wars Weekend has been confirmed.  We showed you a leaked copy of the logo back in December but today it was made official.

For 2010, Star Wars Weekends will celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back film and Bobba Fett is going to be a big part of the event.Read more

A possible 2010 Star Wars Weekend logo has been leaked, featuring Mickey Mouse and Bobba Fett.  Evidently the theme for Star Wars Weekends 2010 will be "bounty hunters" and this logo certainly evokes that.  Word is that this logo we see is in line for consideration and may be tweaked slightly, but more than likely will be the logo we see.

The dates for Star Wars Weekend 2010 are now available.  Star Wars Weekends 2010 will run Friday, Saturday and Sundays between May 21 and June 13.

May 21-23
May 28-30
June 4-67
June 11-13

Well, Star Wars Weekends 2009 is officially in the books.  I won't go into  my thoughts about the quality of this year's event here, as we have others way more qualified than I am on staff to wrap things up for the SWW website.  But I did want to say that I enjoyed frequenting this site for SWW info, and it was a pleasure to contribute when I had little tidbits to share.  I hope I'll have the opportunity to do so again next year as well.Read more

9:45-10:45 a.m.
