• Autograph Opportunities – For the first time, autograph sessions with Star Wars celebrities will be held in an indoor location, just off Commissary Lane near Star Tours – The Adventure Continues. For complete details about autograph opportunities, be sure to visit StarWarsWeekends.com prior to your visit.
• Darth’s Mall – Can’t find the droids you’re looking for? Head over to this new complex of shops near Streets of America for the best selection of Star Wars merchandise in this galaxy or any other!
It's important to note that Ian McDiarmid and Frank Oz will not be signing much like when Mark Hamill attended in 2014 and was not part of the daily autograph sessions, so keep that in mind as you prepare your schedule.
