For those of you going to Star Wars Weekends I recommend this thread for excellent information about the event.

I got THE BEST information by using this source and it really helped me plan my trip and set priorities. This year things are changing up so it will pay to keep up with the latest news. It's a lot of posts to go through but it will well orient you to the event and the tips and strategies that people post about, especially after the event starts, are worth their weight in Galactic credits.
Right now the thread is throwing around a lot of speculation and guessing but
about a month before the first weekend is the time to start paying attention. The thread will max out at about 250 pages but a new one will respawn so check the Theme Parks, Attractions and Strategies board

When I heard they bagged Hoopla I was crushed but it
has sort of run it's course as far as the story line is concerned. Rumor has it they will replace that with something more than just the fireworks they have announced but we shall see...
I really feel they should do a Star Wars Show in the Indiana Jones theater. The seating and sight lines would better accommodate the audience for this. I know I mentioned that I staked out a front row center spot for Hyperspace Hoopla something like 6 hours in advance to get my Star Wars shots. I got to do that twice because after waiting for 4 hours on my first day we were rained out and the show was cancelled! Yep.... the Indiana Jones Theater is definitely gonna be better IF they go that route.
