If you visited Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios between 2016 and 2019, you might have experienced a unique Star Wars moment. Nestled in time between Star Wars Weekends and Galaxy’s Edge, the live stage show A Galaxy Far, Far Away offered fans a thrilling tribute to the saga.
Running several times daily in front of the Chinese Theater, this 15-minute performance celebrated cinematic Star Wars moments with live characters, dramatic visuals, and an unforgettable soundtrack.
A Tribute Between Star Wars Eras
After Star Wars Weekends ended in 2015, Disney needed a way to keep the Force alive. A Galaxy Far, Far Away stepped in as a daily celebration of the saga. Though not tied to a themed land, the show delivered live-action moments that felt larger than life.
Characters like Darth Vader, Rey, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, and BB-8 took the stage. Accompanied by powerful music and projected film clips, they recreated iconic scenes from all across the Star Wars timeline.
Captured in Time: 2018 Performance
This 2019 recording shows the show in its final form. Pyrotechnics, lighting effects, and synchronized audio created a high-energy tribute that packed a galactic punch in just 15 minutes.
For fans visiting before the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, it was the perfect way to stay connected to the Force. Although it’s no longer performed, A Galaxy Far, Far Away remains a fan-favorite snapshot of that transitional era at Hollywood Studios.
