Ashley Eckstein who is the voice of Ahsoka in The Clone Wars will be appearing on each weekend.

Everyone is of course looking forward to the launch of the new Star Tours Experience. George Lucas went to Disneyland California to take a ride on the Starspeeder 100 last weekend. He and Star Wars producer Rick McCallum pronounced the ride to be making great progress. Expect this to be the most popular ride in Magic Kingdom and Disneyland for a long time to come after launch.

Just one wish. Wouldn’t it be great if they brought the Star Wars Weekends to Disneyland California too?
