This room's walls were covered in awesome Star Wars art. Obviously, no Star Wars display would be complete without a Death Star. Rey's big, clunky speeder thing was particularly cool, as was the model of Boba Fett's Slave-1. Ships and models from all over the franchise. The Star Wars Launch Bay area was really cool: inside, there were a ton of props and costumes on display, and Disney had actors dressed as Darth Vader, Chewbacca and a real, working BB-8 (I saw BB-8 in action during Celebration's Last Jedi panel, and lemme tell ya: that thing is amazing in person). As you can see, this maragarita (which contained no small amount of Blue Curaçao) got a blue cube. Each contained a glowing, plastic ice cube that could change color depending on what color the drink was.

Really snazzy!Īlso snazzy: the Star Wars-themed drinks being sold around the park. Those giant red screens aren't reading well in any of the photos I took (sad face), but they looked incredibly against the night sky. Here we are a little closer to the main stage area. From time to time Storm Troopers (and, at one point, Darth Vader himself) would come out in front of the staging area and do their best to intimidate the crowd. Upon walking into Hollywood Studios, we discovered that the entire main drag had been converted into a gigantic red carpet.īeyond the carpet, a main stage area where remixed Star Wars tunes were being played at full volume, crowds swirled, and people danced together in little pockets. readership - could live vicariously through my misadventures. It was an absolute blast, and I made a point of taking a bunch of photos, so that you - the gentle. Rides were retooled to be Star Wars-themed, drinks and food (see also: churro lightsabers) were given a Star Wars spin, and Star Wars music blasted from every available loudspeaker. At this year's Star Wars Celebration, we were invited out to one of Disney's most exclusive and kick-ass events: Galactic Nights, a one-night-only, Star Wars-themed party held at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
