As much as I love Star Wars Weekends, you weren’t going to catch me at Disney over Memorial Day weekend. But that’s okay, because the last two weeks of this year’s event were fantastic. Here are some of the highlights from the third and fourth weeks.

Announced less than a week in advance, a special appearance by The Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni made a fitting conclusion to this year’s Star Wars Weekends. He always seems to enjoy putting on a good show for the fans, and this time was no exception.

Previewing Disney’s Star Wars Weekends 2012

Walt Disney World is famously known as the most magical place on Earth. Combine that with celebrating the greatest story of our generation, and you’ve topped every other perfect pairing. Peanut butter and jelly, strawberries and cream, milk and cookies – they all pale in comparison to Disney and Star Wars, at least in this fangirl’s estimation.
