WDW News Today published a story about the rumor that we’ve seen the last of Star Wars Weekends at The Studios. I don’t find this really surprising with the large amounts of construction coming to the studios, as well as the new Season of the Force event that’s scheduled for early next year. I would assume that some of the events that used to be a part of Star Wars Weekends will be moved to the new Season of the Force event.

What does surprise me, though, is the additional rumor that Disney is going to stop dressing up traditional “Disney” characters (Mickey Mouse, Goofy, etc…) in Star Wars gear. Personally, I think using the Disney characters as a gateway into the larger Star Wars universe is a great way to get younger people interested in Star Wars. I really hope this rumor is false (and, if I had to bet on it, I would bet that it is. I mean, it’s tough to say that Disney is trying to go for a “more serious tone” with the brand when they just put out an ad for dancing wookies).
