Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios has expanded its Star Wars Experience with an all-new Star Wars Launch Bay, updated Jedi Training experience, fireworks show and more!
In collaboration with the release of Star Wars seventh film, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” the theme park is bringing fans closer than ever to the Star Wars galaxy. Star Wars Launch Bay introduces guests to the Dark Side with a meet & greet with Darth Vader or the Light Side with Chewbacca. Additionally guests can walk through 2 different exhibits, Celebration Gallery and Celebration Hallway, to view replica props from the Star Wars franchise. And you may just run into a Jawa or two while exploring!
Enjoy this first-look video of the Launch Bay experience below:
The boys and I were lucky enough to attend the media press event for the grand opening of Star Wars Launch Bay. We met Chewie, Darth Vader and a few Jawas!
For fans excited for the upcoming Star Wars film, releasing December 18th of this year, you can preview costumes, artwork and much more from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Additionally, Star Wars: Path of the Jedi is another section where fans can view a cinematic reel that reviews Star Wars episodes I-VII.
