2014 Star Wars Weekend Celebrity Line Up

Only a couple of weeks away from the beginning of Star Wars Weekends, Disney has released the list of all your favorite actors and actresses and the dates that they will be participating in this years event. Before we look at the list, the two hosts this year are celebrities in their own right and deserve special consideration. James Arnold Taylor, a critically acclaimed voice actor who portrayed Obi-wan Kenobi for Star Wars: the Clone Wars, will be the official host of Star Wars Weekend. This years host of "Behind the Force" is no unknown either, as Ashley Eckstien (the voice of Ahsoka Tano from the Clone Wars) will return to Disney and moderate this showcase of stars from the movies and the cartoons including stars from the new cartoon; Star Wars Rebels.
