A few more details are beginning to trickle out for this year's Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Disney has confirmed that 'Symphony in the Stars' Fireworks will once again return as the nightly finale, along with the 'Summon the Force' pre-show to the fireworks featuring character appearances.
James Arnold Taylor will be back as the host for each weekend, and Darth's Mall merchandise will be in a new location near to the Streets of America at the 'Final Take Terminal.' The former merchandise location in Soundstage 1 is being converted into additional capacity for Toy Story Mania so is unavailable.
Perhaps the biggest change this year will be the relocation of the celebrity shows from the Premiere Theater to the Theater of the Stars - home of Beauty and the Beast on Sunset Blvd.
The Premiere Theater is currently hosting the Frozen Sing-Along, and although that will ultimately be moved to the ABC Theater at the former home of American Idol, the Premiere Theater will not be available during Star Wars Weekends. Beauty and the Beast will continue to be performed in the mornings, with a quick turn-around into a Star Wars set for the afternoons each weekend. Theater of the Stars has more capacity, but unfortunately lacks the air conditioning of the Premiere Theater.
No word yet on which celebrities will be appearing, but stay tuned over the coming weeks.
The dates for the 2015 Star Wars Weekends are:
- Weekend I: May 15-17, 2015
- Weekend II: May 22-24, 2015
- Weekend III: May 29-31, 2015
- Weekend IV: June 5-7, 2015
