Disney has shared a first look at Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga, the new projection show debuting tonight in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park. The show is part of the limited-time Season of the Force event, running from March 28 through May 11, 2025.

Tonight’s performances are scheduled for 9:00 PM and 10:15 PM.

Shadows of Memory uses projection mapping and music to bring iconic moments from the Skywalker saga to life. The Batuu landscape near the Millennium Falcon is transformed as scenes and characters from the Star Wars films are projected onto the spires, all set to a musical score built from familiar John Williams themes. Guests can expect to see imagery evoking the rise, fall, and legacy of Anakin, Luke, and Leia.

Disney also released a first look at the Luke Skywalker character appearance, a surprise addition to Galaxy’s Edge for this year’s event. This marks the first time a classic-era version of Luke Skywalker is meeting guests in the land. The character wears Jedi robes and appears at select times throughout the day for limited-time meet and greets.

Both offerings are exclusive to Season of the Force and are expected to run through May 11, although the projection show may be extended. No word yet on if either experience will be added to Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.

Wow what a real and authentic experience. Look at how excited all those random guests with their little kids were to see the Mandalorian played by Pedro Pascal.

If you thought you saw Mando hanging around Smuggler's Run the last couple days, you weren't seeing things.....

LMAO, I don't get worked up over anything here. And certainly not about your opinion on a particular hire of Disney's. Its all conversation man, that's it.

I mean you re the one getting all worked up about it.

Disney Irish6 days ago

It was all part of the same conversation, and if he wasn't a CM then yes even my potential explanation would have been moot, which I'm perfectly fine with. And again it was not an attempt to defend. If you don't like the hiring, to be quite frank, I don't really care it doesn't affect me one bit. So it wasn't trying to defending Disney's hiring of this particular CM, it was to try to give a potential explanation maybe the reasoning behind why they did, as I've said now numerous times. You want to call that an "excuse", again I don't care. In reality we don't know the real reasons why he was hired, or even the specific requirements casting was given. So in the end all we got are our opinions.

But that wasn’t the conversation we were having anymore was it? We had moved onto your (and I’m trying to be nice here) interesting logic in an attempt to defend or provide an explanation for their casting.
