The "Star Wars - A Galaxy Far, Far, Away" stage show returned to performances today at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Star Wars A Galaxy Far, Far Away overview

The show was closed to switch out the semi-permanent stage with a mobile version that could be rolled in and out each day, clearing additional viewing space for the nighttime spectaculars in the hub area.

It appears that some technical issues have surfaced, and for now at least, the mobile plan is on hold, and the semi-permanent stages are now back. Showtimes are 11:30am, 12:30, 1:30, 3:30, 4:30, 5:30pm, and look out for Rey who will be joining the show.

They even cut out all of the stairs folding up and the lower stage retracting. Probably cut out another 8 minutes

Wait... A storyline? Something that would cost slightly more money than a simple stage? That's just crazy talk.

What I don’t understand is why the March of the First Order isn’t ambushed by a group of Resistance fighters on the stage (with the screens set to look like a small base) with the use of low level pyro and the stage’s infrastructure in a small scale battle of sorts. It could end in a stalemate, with the Resistance running off towards the Launch Bay, pursued by Phasma, as a Tie Fighter ‘blows up’ the stage. There, it took me five minutes to come up with a short show that provides action, a compelling but simple storyline, is a unique Star Wars offering, and all while using existing infrastructure.

To be fair... most americans wouldnt really know what a block party is either anymore. We're lucky if we know our neighbors name at all.

Yep. And that comes from someone who actually enjoyed Block Party Bash (although most Europeans wouldn't know what a block party was)

The High School Musical show was so forgettable and out of place.

It's a park in need and a recently acquired IP that the grown ups are determined to exploit.

Exactly. It's just a fashion show. Put on a real show and then maybe I can understand the effort to have a stage there. I guess I'd take a costume fashion show over a Disney Channel Mixed Hits DJ Dance Party. But ew. High School Musical.

marni1971Oct 25, 2017

Or have a decent show to put on? I suppose it's not High School Musical at least.

Yeah, walking works just the same. Parade them down Hollywood, turn them to Star Tours and parade them on the Jedi stage. I know they want it in the center of the park but I don't think it's necessary. I mean, I'm glad if there's going to be a stage it gets taken in at night, but it just seems like a lot of effort to just parade characters on the stage for a photo op.
