Back by popular demand, Star Wars: Galactic Nights will once again transform Disney’s Hollywood Studios into a galaxy far, far away.

  • Star Wars: Galactic Nights returns to Disney World
  • After hours event takes place Dec. 16
  • Activities include photo ops, fireworks, stage show

The after-hours, “Star Wars”-themed event will take place on Dec. 16, a day after the release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”

The evening will be packed with Star Wars-themed activities, including character meet-and-greets, a live DJ and photo ops with "Star Wars" backdrops.

Park attractions such as the Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away live stage show, the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular fireworks show and Star Tours will be operating as well.

Also during the night, Darth Vader and his army of Stormtroopers will march down Hollywood Boulevard.  

The event will also feature a special panel on the upcoming “Star Wars”-themed land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Fans can also purchase exclusive "Star Wars"-inspired food, beverages and merchandise.

Costumes will be allowed during the event with some restrictions, Disney says.  

The event will be from 7 p.m. to midnight. A separate ticket is required to attend.

The first Star Wars: Galactic Nights was held in April during Star Wars Celebration in Orlando. Several celebrities such as Warwick Davis, Anthony Daniels and Alan Tudyk attended and were featured in a special "Stars in Cars" motorcade.
