The Theater of the Stars became the center of the galaxy during Star Wars Weekend 2015 as Amy Allen and Ian McDiarmid took the stage for an unforgettable panel hosted by James Arnold Taylor. This event was one of three major theater shows throughout the weekend—alongside Star Wars Rebels and Obi-Wan and Beyond—and I had the chance to attend the first weekend with camera in hand.
This blog features the complete panel video of “Stars of the Saga,” where fans heard behind-the-scenes stories from Amy Allen, known for playing Jedi Aayla Secura, and Ian McDiarmid, the iconic Emperor Palpatine. The energy in the theater was incredible, especially with James Arnold Taylor expertly guiding the conversation with humor, trivia, and fan-favorite moments.
If you’ve been following Sam’s Disney Diary, you’ll know this isn’t my first coverage of Star Wars Weekends. But with a panel this special—two major Star Wars legends on stage together—it deserved its own spotlight.
