Walt Disney World's official page for Star Wars Weekends has been updated with two event guides that cover everything you need to know about the first Weekend, May 20-22. The two PDFs include information about the special Star Wars shows, celebrity autograph sessions, exclusive merchandise, and Disney FASTPASS? system. There is also a map of Walt Disney World with important locations labeled.
You can grab the Friday (May 20th) event guide here. The Saturday-Sunday (May 21st-22nd) event guide is available here.
Perhaps the most important piece of information in the guides is the schedule of events for all three days. Below is the schedule as seen in the PDFs.
