  • why dont they offer this at disneyland california??? they should?? im a huge star wars fan….

  • Will the Jedi Training shows still be held while Star Tours is closed?

  • We attended Star Wars Weekend and my son was able to do the Jedi Training. It was great to watch him battle Darth Vader. He was also stormed by the Storm Troopers where he had to use the force to defeat them. He had such a good time and we have memories to cherish forever.

  • I would love to have the dates for Star Wars Weekend at WDW. I usually need about 9-10 months to plan.

  • Hey Disney. While Consturcting Star Tours II At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Can You Guys Keep The Imperial Walker In I Don’t Know The Backot Studio Tour, Please?!
