Jun. 9th, 2005 -- The Force will mingle with Disney magic for longer then expected this year. Due to the popularity of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Disney-MGM Studios has extended the Star Wars Weekends event for another two weeks.

The festivities include Star Wars characters walking around (including a Jedi Mickey Mouse), a Star Wars Legends show with the filmmakers, and "Who Wants to be a Jedi?", a Star-Wars based version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?". Among the new features are a presentation on the making of Revenge of the Sith and a walk-around "Darth Tater" character, a fusion of Darth Vader and Mr. Potato Head.

This is the sixth Star Wars Weekends celebration at the park. It began May 20 and was scheduled to end June 12.
