A lot of that merch looks like costumes - gonna be hard to sell that stuff but then tell people they can't wear costumes in the land

I always way over think the arrangment of characters in these types of images

Interesting that Queen Amadala is in the middle/more on the Dark Side

I know where I’ll be at 2PM on Saturday!

Like I said, I probably over think things ... I mean, Yoda is towards the middle too and I don't think that means anything

 

[TheMaxRebo]

The Full Mural - other than the last panel, which will be for Episode IX has been revealed - and it is massive!!!

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

For whatever reason I'm very angry at all the Disney bloggers who are at celebration.

Jealousy is rearing it's ugly head and I seem to have found my targets.

Episode 9 Panel is letting people in. JJ Abrams gave attendees IX winter hats.

Happy meals have apples and a coupon.
Very cool though.

So I assume this is photoshopped but someone commented that it was real and maybe them messing with the crowd?
