DHS evening entertainment- would you rearrange schedule?

We have a trip scheduled in December and were planning two partial days at DHS (one morning and one evening or two evenings). We love Fantasmic! so we have one evening planned for that with the dining package. I was looking at the other schedules and it looks like "Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam" is scheduled every night of our trip and the Star Wars Fireworks show is only one night the whole trip (not either of the days we had planned for DHS). I have heard great reviews of Star Wars and lukewarm reviews of JBJB. So my questions are:
1) Will they open up more days for Star Wars as they get closer?
2) If they don't, is it worth trying to move around my ADRs so that we have a DHS day the day of the Star Wars fireworks? This would put our two DHS days back to back when we prefer one at the beginning and one at the end, but we will make it work if the show is worth it.
 
1) they could but if they have the full schedule out now, I doubt it will change. I believe it's only the middle or late December where both shows are scheduled on the same nights
2) I personally would make it a priority to see the star wars show over an adr
 
and lukewarm reviews of JBJB.
What you've heard about the JBJB show was based on last years version. It has supposedly been enhanced so who knows. No matter how they've enhanced it, it shouldn't be compared to the Star Wars show due to the subject matter.

Anything's possible but I doubt that they'll add SWaGS dates because it being the Christmas season, I think they want the JBJB show and dessert party to be the main focus for the bulk of it.
 
What days are your trip? We're there Dec 7-15, and I haven't seen any nights where SWAGS is on the schedule at all yet. It's showing on the schedule on the 15th but that's it. That's our departure date so I'm hoping that it's going to be shown some of the other nights we're there. I'm pretty sure Dec 15th is the scheduled release of Episode 8, so I'm wondering if that's why it's on the schedule and if we'll be out of luck on the other days.

SWaGS resumes on the 15th and will take place every night after that in Dec. The park closes early for a special SW related event on the 16th, more than likely it will be another Galactic Nights event, and the show will take place that night as well but day guests will not be able to see it from inside the park.

I should have been more clear. It's not just about the ADRs. It's about reworking the whole schedule to rearrange things. We currently have a candlelight processional package that day that we would need to move. We also would have weird spacing. Two 1/2 days at DHS, but back to back instead of spread out. It's definitely workable, but I don't want to put in that much effort unless it's worth it!

We are the same week but leave a couple days later, so we could hit the one on the 15th.
 
Yes, it is worth it in my opinion. We love the Star Wars show - our favorite evening entertainment of the moment! It truly surpassed our expectations. The music and special effects are phenomenal!

As a disclaimer, we have not yet seen HEA.
