Amidala Arrives for Star Wars Weekends
This weekend is the third of the four 2012 Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, and it brings a ton of fangirl excitement.
An enthusiastic fangirl in her own right, Cat Taber, the voice of Padmé Amidala on The Clone Wars, is one of this weekend’s featured VIP guests. She’s scheduled for a stage appearance with Ashley Eckstein for the Behind the Force look at the making of The Clone Wars, as well as an autograph session near Echo Lake.
I’m also planning to get my copy of The Essential Guide to Warfare signed by author Jason Fry, and catch up with Del Rey editor Erich Schoeneweiss. They’re scheduled for two-hour book-signing appearances around lunchtime at either Darth’s Mall (Friday and Sunday) or the Writer’s Stop (Saturday).
Finally, if you missed it a couple weeks ago, be sure to read my Star Wars Weekends preview post for Suvudu and the accompanying Expanded Universe VIPs edition of my Star Tours Pop Quiz.
Oh, yes – like X-Wing Crashes Into Echo Lake, the title of this post was inspired by Cat’s arrival, which fittingly pairs up with another one of the teaser art advertisements for this year’s event:
