Disney's Hollywood Studios expanded its Star Wars offerings earlier today with the debut of the new 'Star Wars - A Galaxy Far, Far, Away' stage show.

Taking place in-front of the Chinese Theater on the newly built Center Stage, the 15 minute show features favorite Star Wars characters and clips from the Star War movies. On stage appearances include Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, C-3PO, BB8, Bobba Fett and Darth Maul.

Ahead of the show, Captain Phasma from Star Wars The Force Awakens, leads a march of  First Order Stormtroopers from Star Wars Launch Bay to Center Stage. The march passes through the crowds and ends with a photo moment on stage.

You can catch both the march and show multiple times per day, with the march typically on the hour, and the show at the half hour. Check times guide for daily hours.

As far as I can tell, it is simply an addition tacked on after the Kylo scene and before the finale. They also changed the intro clips/scenes and now a camera crew films the characters live as they walk out. I believe those were the only changes.

It'd definitely make random selections a lot more fun. Do managers wear Phasma's armor?

Considering the extreme IP usage, cross branding, and push for increased security, why hasn't Iger mandated that all security will be officially handled by the WDW Stormtrooper Garrison. Then security can wear trooper uniforms and be more intimidating while pushing the IP across property. I think I'd be more concerned about a Stormtrooper with a uniform made from Kevlar and carrying a real weapon, then one of our very friendly boys in blue. :rolleyes:

Ugh. I thought we were finally free from the Carousel of Can't Meet Characters show.

Stage is back, but it appears to be the same as before.

'Star Wars - A Galaxy Far, Far Away' to feature scenes and characters from the upcoming 'Rogue One - A Star Wars Story'

A bit more info on this. You were right about the stage coming down so as not to violate the temporary permit. Mobile stage isn't coming until next year sometime, but the stage that's coming next week is supposed to have a similar style to how the mobile stage will look.

J. D.Nov 29, 2016

I don't know anything for certain. The old plan was to have a mobile stage that would set up in the morning for the first show and then leave after the final show of the day. Not sure if that is still the case.

Is there a new stage coming? Or is this a contract thing about the stage being "temporary" so it has to come down and go back up to not violate any rules?

J. D.Nov 29, 2016

The stage has already been removed.

No performances of 'Star Wars - A Galaxy Far, Far Away' for the next week

This is the way I view it. A little performance to stop and watch for a few minutes with the kids.
