Experiment 626 Is On The Loose Along The Walt Disney World Monorail Beam

We’ve found the culprit responsible for the Walt Disney World Monorail downtime this weekend: Stitch! We saw him causing trouble on a Monorail track above the Transportation and Ticket Center.

Okay, what we really saw was a Stitch plush that somehow ended up under the high voltage beam of the express Monorail near the TTC.

Stitch probably would have had to have been thrown up at the beam or dropped from the open door of a Monorail.

Walt Disney World Monorails returned to service after being down for less than a day, but the Monorails continue to move slowly with several stops and starts. The Stitch plush probably isn’t really behind the issues — but that’s also what Stitch would want us to think.

We hope the kid or kid-at-heart who lost their Stitch plush is able to someday be reunited.

Hayden Christensen is of course the man behind a young Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. He debuted as Anakin in “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” and become Vader in “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.” He reprised the role in “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on Disney+.

Katee Sackhoff began voicing Bo-Katan Kryze in 2012 on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” She reprised the character in “Star Wars Rebels” and then appeared in live-action as Bo-Katan in “The Mandalorian.”

James Arnold Taylor was the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” but has provided voices for various characters in live-action, too. His voice can be heard in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”

Speaking of “Rogue One,” Mads Mikkelsen joined the “Star Wars” universe in the spinoff film as Galen Erso, the father of Jyn Erso and designer of the Death Star.

Last but not least, Denis Lawson’s name might not ring bells for every “Star Wars” fan, but he’s been part of the franchise since the beginning. He appeared as Wedge Antilles in every film of the original trilogy and returned to the role decades later for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

Previously announced guests include “Star Wars” voice actors Ashley Eckstein, Matt Lanter, Dee Bradley Baker, and live-action heroes Vivien Lyra Blair and Indira Varma.

Star Wars Celebration Europe will be held at the Excel Center in London from April 7 through 10.
