Luke Skywalker, Nighttime Spectaculars, and More at Season of the Force
“It’s true. The force, the Jedi, all of it.” Yep. Luke Skywalker is coming to Galaxy’s Edge. Well, at least the one on the west coast. Disney confirmed that the iconic character will be part of the 2025 Season of the Force in Disneyland.
“Joining other familiar encounters in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, for the first time, a shadowy visitor will appear on Batuu for a limited time. Wearing what seem to be Jedi robes, there are rumors it might be the legendary Luke Skywalker!”
I love this. And I hope it leads to more timeline-busting characters roaming the streets of Black Spire Outpost. Who else wants Darth Vader in Batuu?
Nighttime Experiences
In addition to Luke, a new nighttime experience will also be unveiled. Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga is a nightly projection show that will take guests on a “storytelling adventure across the galaxy.” The spires will serve as the backdrop for “some of the greatest moments in galactic history.” Guests will be treated to John Williams’ iconic themes throughout the show.
Fire of the Rising Suns returns in 2025. The fireworks show will run on select nights and can be enjoyed from multiple spots in Galaxy’s Edge, including the Black Spire Spaceport, the TIE Echelon docking platform, and the speeder garage. Oh, and it also features Star Wars music.
“Why isn’t Season of the Force coming to Hollywood Studios, too?”

Hyperspace Mountain
Space Mountain is getting a familiar overlay with Hyperspace Mountain. Riders will “fend off crossfire from swarms of Rebel X-wing starfighters and Imperial TIE fighters amidst an intergalactic onslaught!” I live for Space Mountain overlays.
Star Wars Merchandise
Want to add Star Wars plushes to your headbands? Well, you can if you’re going to Disneyland. Guests can create their own looks with Yoda, R2-D2, Ewoks, Vader, and a Stormtrooper. Customizable headbands are available at Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff, World of Disney, The Mad Hatter, and The Star Trader.
Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka in The Clone Wars, has created a new retro Star Wars collection. It will be available at The Star Trader in Tomorrowland (one-week exclusivity) before heading to Star Wars Trading Post.
Fans of bounty hunters and sports will love the Boba Fett Sports Jersey, available at The Star Trader, Star Wars Trading Post, and World of Disney.
The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Resistance Duos Collection will be available at Resistance Supply.
Finally, a Hyperspace Mountain tee shirt will only be available at Disneyland for a limited time. Locations include The Star Trader and Spaceport in Tomorrowland and Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A.
New Savi’s Storyline
Beginning May 4, Savi’s Workshop will feature a new storyline called “Reclaimed and Reforged.” This limited-time offering allows guests to build their lightsabers from parts scavenged by pirates.
Star Wars food, beverages, and novelty cups
So everything we’ve seen so far is pretty great. But Disney took it to another level with the Darth Vader Premium Mug. This collectible will be on eBay soon. After all, Disney is allowing guests to purchase 10 of these at a time. Seems reasonable.
