Star Wars Weekends is now less than a month away, and Walt Disney World has announced the official lineup of celebrity guests, including first-timers Mark Hamill and — John Ratzenberger?
You read that correctly. A few years before "Cheers," Ratzenberger appeared in a minor role in "The Empire Strikes Back" as Major Bren Derlin during the battle on the ice planet Hoth.
Ratzenberger is no stranger to Disney fans. His voice can be heard in every Pixar feature film to date, most notably as Hamm the piggy bank in the "Toy Story" series.
