Star Wars Weekend ?

Do they sell Star Wars themed autograph books for this event?

Yes. There is a special SWW 2013 autograph book. It doesn't have a ton of pages. It's a picture/autograph book so it's designed to have a picture and autograph on the same page. I think it was only 20 pages or so.

As Chris said, there is a special book and it's really nice looking. My DD(20) bought one to get autographs. A word of caution: getting autographs during SWW means you will get nothing else done except stand in lines. Our DD was determined to meet Jeremy Bulloch (Bobba Fett) and Ray Park (Darth Maul) during our trip. She (and her boyfriend) got to DHS at 4:30am to get in line for Fastpasses for Jeremy Bulloch, and 4:00am for Ray Park and there were already long lines when they arrived both times. (The line to get Fastpasses for Ray Park cut off 4 people behind my daughter.) When we left DHS after Fantasmic on 5/17, there were already people camped out to get Fastpasses for Ray Park's autograph session on 5/18. Our DD spent every available moment in DHS before & after their Fastpass times standing in line to meet the other characters (Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Chewbacca, Bobba Fett, Luke Skywalker, the rancor, Queen Amidala, etc.)...and even then, they didn't get all the autographs. It was over an hour just to meet Vader.

I can't believe how much more popular SWW has become even just in the last 3 years. I stood in line for 3 1/2 hours to get the special collectible pin set (we got #178 out of 200). All of the special, limited edition merchandise sold out on the very first day. Just be prepared for the madness. :ewok:

That is true. We've tried the tactic of doing 2 days for SWW. One day is characters and autographs only. The next day we hit the merchandise first thing in the morning and then do the shows and other things the rest of the day. It makes it more realistic than trying to do everything in one day, which is impossible with the crowds and long lines.

I saw there will be Star Wars weekends in May and June this year. Will that be all for 2014? I've never been and my son has recently gotten interested in Star Wars. I don't think we can make it to one of them during this time frame.

Yes, Star Wars Weekends are traditionally in May and June.
