Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Looks like Mark Hamill won't be signing anything, I've pulled this from a SWW BLOG.

"A special note for 2014: for the first time ever, Mark Hamill will be appearing at Star Wars Weekends, for the June 6-8 weekend only. Based on what we have heard, he will be appearing in the motorcade and an afternoon talk show only, and will not be signing autographs. If our info is incorrect and he is signing, we anticipate demand for him being so high that people will start lining up before the park closes the day before to obtain FastPasses to meet him. At the very least, demand for the motorcade and his talk show will be significantly higher than normal. If you are not interested in Mark Hamill, we’d suggest avoiding these Star Wars Weekends dates, as these are the dates all serious Star Wars fans are going to target. Attendance could be significantly higher than normal, and waits for Star Wars events will certainly be much longer. (On the plus side, non-Star Wars attractions shouldn’t have longer than normal wait times–but you’ll still be dealing with high crowd levels.)"

Originally Posted By seafairy1622 I agree fkurucz, and that's what happened last year with Billy Dee Williams. When we got to the park at 6am we asked the people who had fast passes what time they got there and they said the night before. They had their kids with them and sleeping bags. I did not pay extra to stay at the Wilderness Lodge and then stay outside all night. I really hope he doesn't do autographs because it would be really crazy. I would be happy to see him in the show or parade.
