What does the future hold in store for Star Wars? He'll be there to offer an inside look. Joining him this weekend is Jake Lloyd, a veteran of previous Star Wars Weekends. He played the boyhood incarnation of Anakin Skywalker in Episode I.

Star Wars Weekends - Week 3, Saturday

Troop #7

Guests: Amy Allen & Matthew Wood

Amy Allen played the role of the striking Jedi Knight Aayla Secura in Episode II and III. Also there that weekend will be Episode III's Supervising Sound Editor Matthew Wood, the voice of the evil General Grievous in that movie as well as the upcoming animated series, The Clone Wars.

Personal Note: Amy Allen was a total asshole. She is the only person out of all of the celebrities that did not come over and speak to us at all. In fact, she walked directly by us without saying a word, shaded under the umbrella being held by her handler. (You have a three-second role in two of the Prequels, Sweetheart...really.)

Star Wars Weekends - Week 2, Saturday

Troop #5

Guests: Peter Mayhew & David Prowse

Two fan favorites share the stage: Peter Mayhew is no stranger to Star Wars Weekends. The towering Mayhew played the loyal Wookiee Chewbacca in the original trilogy, and revisited the role in Revenge of the Sith. David Prowse is another imposing presence -- he filled out Darth Vader's awesome form in the original trilogy, playing the man behind the mask.

Star Wars Weekends - Week 1, Saturday

Troop #3

Guests: Jeremy Bulloch & Daniel Logan

The Fetts return! Jeremy Bulloch is known best for his role as the legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He also made a brief cameo as Captain Colton in Revenge of the Sith. Daniel Logan played the young Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones, as well as all the 10-year old clones on Kamino.

All of us 501st Legion members (while waiting in line to march) were prompted by Jeremy Bulloch to make sure to sing Happy Birthday to Daniel Logan. Priceless moment. I also did a little hip hop dance with Logan beside his car to some slammin' ass rock music.
