Replacing Hyperspace Hoopla and the Dance-Off With the Star Wars Stars at Star Wars Weekends 2014, Walt Disney World has introduced a new character gathering as a pre-show to the Symphony in the Stars fireworks. Each night of the event at Disney's Hollywood Studios, host James Arnold Taylor (voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Clone Wars) introduces sets of characters to the stage including Jedi, Rebels, Bounty Hunters, and the evil Empire, and more, many armed with weapons and pyrotechnics. Characters include Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, Jango Fett, and three new characters from Star Wars Rebels among others.
Immediately following the character moment, the Symphony in the Stars fireworks begin. (Video to come!)
