Taking place on August 14 from 8:00pm – 1:00am at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., Last Tour to Endor is a special event on the Saturday night of Star Wars Celebration V – THE official Lucasfilm fan convention and the biggest Star Wars party in the galaxy! Fans and families attending Last Tour to Endor at the Walt Disney World Resort can enjoy a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience – including specially-themed intergalactic party zones, Star Wars shows, a Death Star Disco and much more. The evening will culminate with Symphony in the Stars – a Star Wars fireworks spectacular as only Disney Parks can create. Though the party begins at 8:00pm, Last Tour ticket-holders will also be allowed early entrance to Disney’s Hollywood Studios at 4:00pm – where they can be sure to secure a seat one of the StarSpeeder 3000’s final voyages! Disney Parks will also have a prominent presence on the Celebration V show floor at the Orange County Convention Center – including Jedi Training Academy for younglings and Padawans and a Disney merchandise booth featuring a host of exclusive items as well as Star Wars items only previously available at Disney park stores. CV attendees will also enjoy special room rates at Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, specially-priced tickets with pre-arrival purchase savings for Walt Disney World parks and an exclusive, reserved room block at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – which will include complimentary round-trip transfers to and from the convention center. To purchase tickets – and to take advantage of Last Tour to Endor special offers – visit www.starwarscelebration.com/Disney. For more information on Star Wars Celebration V visit www.starwarscelebration.com for the latest updates. Featuring celebrities, costumes, live entertainment, screenings, autographs, collectibles, panels and much, much more, Star Wars Celebration V allows fans, friends and families to share their love of the Saga. There have been four Star Wars Celebrations in America to date, as well as a Star Wars Celebration Europe (2007) and Star Wars Celebration Japan (2008).

This is a buyout of the park by Lucasfilm or Reed Entertainment. Note that it's billed as being hosted at Disney, not by Disney. The Studios will likely close to regular guests at 7 or 8pm so Last Tour of Endor-ticket holders can enjoy the park till the Star Wars fireworks at 1am. Yay, we get to stay in the park till well after midnight! Then we gotta get up and be back to the Convention Center by 10:00am for the last day of Celebration V. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

It will be worth every penny. My insider source has told me. Due to confidentiality, i cannot disclose in detail. I can say that there will be more then the information site is saying.

I am really wanting to get the $80 lanyard and pin set and might need to pick up a Starspeeder 1000 as well. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Hmm, I might just take advantage of that to save the parking fee at Disney. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

The shipping is $5 whether you buy one ticket or more, so I'd hate to spend that twice if she decides to go later down the road. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

It's a shame because I essentially won't see her during the four days of Celebration V. On a positive note, I did just order my ticket. I'll scan it when it arrives. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 3367 Sat, Jun 19, 2010 12:54 AM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	I got the ticket a few days ago and am excited to be going but there's no point in scanning it because it's a regular old Disney swipe card with Mickey Mouse on it. I was hoping for something like the artwork in the first post. I especially like collectibles with feature the old Starspeeder. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 3367 Mon, Jun 21, 2010 5:43 PM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Was scouring the interweb for rumors or details about the Last Tour and came upon this post from someone who presumably heard from Steve Sansweet: I just got an email back from the head of Fan Events for Lucasfilms. . . and no there is no AP discount. The reason is that the $75 price is a "discounted" price from the at the door price. If the event does not sell out before hand, the price to enter at the gate, will be $89 (basically the price of a one day park ticket). While not everyone agrees, this is the place to be on Saturday night as I'm fairly certain that it's Lucasfilm's official AfterParty. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

I am also dissapointed that the tickets are not of Star Tour related collectible item.

I believe it was you Campbell that said there are going to be over 20,000. The exact number is 15,000 max. I was also way off. I thought my source had said 1500. Of course it was at SWW and it was loud where we were talking about it.. So there it is.. Limited tickets to 15,000. So if you are still interested, better get your tickets for this soon. If you were listening to the ForceCast tonight. They had Steve Sansweet on and he had talked about LToE. He had said that there will be a spectacular fireworks diplay set to Star Wars music. From what my souce said at SWW. There is going to be something really big that is happening in the Indy stage. I can't wait to go.

This might be the biggest Celebration yet, let's say they get 45,000 attendees. That means every third person would have to go down to Disney for the Last Tour. I just don't see it happening. On the flipside, there will be a some non-Celebration, Disney/Star Wars fans that buy tickets. However, I don't think that number will be too great since this party really isn't the Last Tour at all. The ride will be open for at least a month after Celebration. Then again, I don't particularly want this to be that busy. The Studios are a lot more fun when it's not crowded and one of my main reasons is so I can get the limited pins. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

As you can see photographing them was difficult. They were in a plexiglas box right beside a bright window, which happened to be in the middle of exiting foot traffic. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Campbell, you are probably right in that it won't be that busy, which is good for those in attendance. Less people means less lines to deal with. Thanks for snapping those photos. Gives a good idea of some of the things that will be available at the show.

Posts: 17 Sun, Jul 18, 2010 1:34 PM Orlando	I'd absolutely LOVE to go to this but that ticket price really makes me balk too! If I take it at face value it's the last time to ride the ride (but I as a Disney cast member can go any time so that doesn't mean much). Fireworks? Well, yes, I've seen those too. And DJ/disco? Well, dancing is nice but clubs chage less than $75. I just don't know. If you're not a collector, can someone tell me what would be worth the value of $75? I'm really curious and can be influenced so I am open to persuasive points... Melanie

Posts: 3367 Sun, Jul 18, 2010 6:56 PM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	I still don't have any really persuasive arguments, but Aaron has suggested that there will be some special presentation that's never been officially mentioned. The only corroborating information about that is that TheForce.net needed to change their big party from Saturday night to Thursday because a celebrity or celebrities were already planning on going to LTtE. I can see it going either way. I can see something really special happening that night since this is the big afterparty presumably put on by Reed and Lucasfilm. Then again, this might be a way for much of the fun of Star Wars Weekends to happen during Celebration. This could just be what we're already familiar with, but presented when an entirely different batch of fans happen to be in town. In other news, all of the Disney exclusive collectibles are in the current issue of The Star Wars Insider, #119. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

There's virtually no new information so I think this was a way just to remind folks that tickets are still available. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.
