from StarWars.com:

It's time once again to start planning for Star Wars Weekends! The annual event at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida celebrates the Star Wars movie saga as well as Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It begins May 21st (which, by the way, is the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back) and runs for four consecutive weekends through June 13th.

Fans of all ages will converge to celebrate the heroes, villains, creatures and droids of the saga. In addition to Star Wars costumed characters, fun activities, and the Star Tours theme park ride, celebrity guests will be in attendance for meet-and-greet sessions, star conversations, and a classic Hollywood-style motorcade.

The celebrity hosts for each weekend will be Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett from Empire and Return of the Jedi) and Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka from The Clone Wars).

May 21-23 -- Temuera Morrison, Daniel Logan, and Dee Bradley Baker Send in the clones to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Empire. Morrison played Jango Fett as well as the clone troopers in the live action movies, while Daniel Logan played Boba Fett and all the clone cadets in Episode II. Baker is the voice of all the clone troopers in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, including the ever popular Captain Rex.

May 28-30 -- Matthew Wood, Lorne Peterson and Tom Kane Some true Masters are in attendance. In addition to providing the rasping voice of General Grievous and his chatty battle droids, Matthew Wood is also a sound editor on the Star Wars prequels and The Clone Wars. Lorne Peterson is a veteran ILM model-maker who worked behind-the-scenes on all six Star Wars movies. Tom Kane is the voice of Yoda in The Clone Wars, and also the narrator who begins each show with a rousing introduction.

June 4-6 -- Billy Dee Williams, Ray Park and Dave Filoni Hello, what have we here? Williams is of course famous for his role as Lando Calrissian, administrator of Cloud City and Rebel hero. Ray Park is the energetic, acrobatic villain Darth Maul from Episode I, and Dave Filoni is the supervising director of The Clone Wars.

June 11-13 -- Ray Park, Peter Mayhew and James Arnold Taylor Ray Park returns for a second weekend, and he is joined by Peter Mayhew, the gentle giant behind the walking carpet -- Chewbacca the Wookiee. James Arnold Taylor provides the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Clone Wars, as well as Plo Koon.

Me, too. I like that the ears are removable. I'll be curious to see if they use a peg for that. I'm hoping for a magnet.

Yeah, it's a nice image. And I don't think we've previously seen Mickey in the Bespin Luke costume.

I understand that Billy Dee Williams will be attending on the 3rd weekend.

Oh I wouldn't have mom camping out...... She'd get to drive herself up in the morning. This camping out stuff sucks because I just can't manage more than one weekend. I'm waiting to hear who other guests will be.

I'll be in Tatooine for the first two weekends. Too bad, as I'd love to get Lorne Peterson on a few photos. Everyone else makes the convention rounds enough to not have to worry about it. I see every single person listed attending Celebration V.

Great news! I'm putting in requests for days off today.

I agree that it's likely that all of these will come to C5, but if I can get into Disney free with a friend, I'd rather meet the celebrities there.

Tem Morrison (from the first weekend) has been cast in the Green Lantern movie. This will be interesting to hear about in the interview sessions.

This may be the very first year that I don't attend at all. It will certainly be weird not to go. The guest list looks pretty good, and I like this year's logo.

I like the logo, too. I'm hoping that they keep to their original plan and pass on the Big Figs this year.

I understand not going given your school, Sharon. I know you love Star Wars Weekends, but as many times as you've been, taking a year off won't be the worst thing in the world. Hope you can make some time for Celebration, though! That likely won't be back this way again any time soon.

Well, it seems it's time for me to do a little pay back. My buddy that gets me into the park all the time needs help with some signatures. Looks like I will be there for a little while on Friday's. Chris, I can try to snag that signature you are going to miss, if you would like.

That's good to hear, Sharon!

Also, if anyone doesn't get enough Star Wars out of our Weekends, fans in SoCal are planning their 6th Annual Disneyland Star Wars Fan Day.

Nice group! I'm a member and I just added some new photos (accidentally did it under my wife's account).

Here's a sample:
