Have you felt a disturbance in the Force? With Disney’s Hollywood Studios making preparations for the opening of Galaxy’s Edge next fall, we’re seeing lots of frequent changes throughout the park!

There are now two different worksites in front of the Chinese Theatre where the stage for Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away used to be.

The mobile stage is usually sitting in front of the theatre during the day, but the DFB Team brought you the news last week that the stage is undergoing a refurbishment.
Here’s a peek at what’s going on behind the scenes!

I’ve never been a big Star Wars fan, but to have a new land to explore will be very exciting. To me it will be like visiting FutureWorld in Epcot with cool characters like R2D2 and BB8.
Essie, I agree. I love new lands to explore!
I’m a huge Star Wars fan, but I hadn’t been to the parks since 2002. I finally went back 2 weeks ago and had a great time, but the highlights for me were all in Hollywood Studios. I rode the updated Star Tours, got all misty-eyed when I visited Launch Bay (and Chewie) for the first time, practically ran to see the March of the First Order, followed Stormtroopers around the park like I was some sort of galactic paparazzi, took more pictures of the Galaxy’s Edge construction than I did anything else, and skipped Fantasmic to see the Galactic Spectacular.
I probably won’t be able to contain myself when I finally see Galaxy’s Edge, but I can’t wait to get there. I’m already planning a trip for next year so please keep these updates coming!
Chris, sounds like a terrific trip! 🙂
