Disney’s expanding Star Wars‘ presence at Walt Disney World Resort, with what Disney’s calling the most elaborate fireworks and projection shows in Walt Disney World Resort’s history. According to the official announcement, the new Star Wars-themed elements will also feature live onstage entertainment and a march of First Order Stormtroopers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular nightly show will take place this summer.
Walt Disney World Resort provided details on the new Star Wars-themed attractions, revealing the Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away stage show will kick off in April 2016 and will include Star Wars characters Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul. Both the stage show and the Stormtroopers march will take place multiple times each day.
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular will feature “Star Wars-themed fireworks, lasers, light projections and other special effects combined with Star Wars-themed music and iconic characters and scenes from throughout the saga. Through these state-of-the-art special effects that project onto the nearby Chinese Theatre and other surrounding buildings, guests will gaze at the twin suns of Tatooine, push through a field of battle droids, navigate through an asteroid field, soar down the trench of the Death Star and deliver the final blow to destroy Starkiller Base. The show, which will unfold through a series of acts, will be punctuated by a tower of fire as well as powerful spotlight beams that create lightsabers in the sky.”
The new Star Wars-themed entertainment joins the new (or revamped) Star Wars: Path of the Jedi, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, and Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic Spectacular. Star Wars fans can expect additional themed lands and entertainment at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in Southern California.
