**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[yulilin3]

Has anyone heard any info on when in Feb Kylo will replace Vader? We have lots of Vader pics from SWW so we would love to meet Kylo but not getting our hopes up since our HS day is Feb 2.

only thing that has been said is early February. Entertainment has their schedules out until Feb 13th and it still shows Vader but they might just switch him out since I think Kylo might be about the same height as Vader? For sure same height as Stormtroopers, so they could easily change him

I noticed that there were some people talking of TIPS at this dessert party. Are you expected to tip here? It's already pretty pricey.

no, not at all. They won't accept unless, I guess you tip the bartender. But it's not expected

Thanks!

Has anyone been to the dessert party and regretted it? I have only seen fairly decent reviews.

The next movie is pushed back until December. Sigh. They are killing me over here!

I caught the first part of the new Jedi training yesterday - I have to say what I saw was a good idea but painful to watch I just wasn't impressed with the main Jedi and the one that 'wanted to become a Jedi" Are any of the 'old' masters still around doing this? They were always amazing and funny - the ones I watched were cringe-worthy and I don't say that lightly

Many of the original Jedi Masters are still part of the show. This show is so heavily scripted they don't have the leeway to use the spontaneous "scripted ad-libs" that were a major part of JTA.

There have been rumors that Lucasfilm is concerned about how the show is running - seemingly bogged down in some parts - but so far, everything has remained the same.

I caught the show Monday night. Not sure if it was the cold or seeing the night time effects up close for the first time; but I got chills at a couple times. I really listened to the script. Watched the effects. And totally focused on the show since my son wasn't in it.

My only disappointment was that Darth Maul didn't make an appearance.

many of the old masters and padawans are in the show, like hiro said, it's more scripted and less funny. I have seen them making efforts to bring the little jokes in during the kids battles "duck! no need for that" thinks like that.
Also some are better than others, the older gentleman that has been doing JTA for a very long time, he "trained" my son and my son is now 19, so a long time, he is not very good.
My favorite combination is the blonde Jedi Master (she's been there a while too) or Baldy with the young padawan girl, very short hair, I'm sure she's friends with Ahsoka by the way she talks and stands, anyways, they are great. Have the script down and give enough emotion to the characters without overacting

The show gives out a great message, not sure if most of the kids get it. But I love the new show.

I was curious about this. We had kids in one of the JTA shows on 1/10, and Maul came out at the end (didn't fight any of the kids, just the Padawan). We were so surprised because we hadn't been expecting that part of the show. Does he appear at random, or is there a schedule to his appearances?

The regular script for this show does include Darth Maul. There have been reports that sometimes the 7th Sister is absent and now sometimes Maul may be absent. Interesting if they are running the show differently or if it's due to injury or absences.

life (ugh) has not let me go to DHS this week. But I'm trying to make it out this evening, I'll ask about the lack of 7th sister and Maul, I have a feeling is the CM calling sick or injury but I'll ask

Hi everyone, sorry to be asking a question that may of already been answered (I know, I need to go back and read the whole thread). Anyway, we will be there the first week of February and will be at DHS on 2/4, we would like to see the Fireworks show that night but we are not going to the Dessert party. Where is the best place to see the show as a regular bystander?

anywhere on Hollywood Blvd, and around Echo Lake, between 50s Prime Time and Hollywood and Vine

Two of my kids were in the 11:40 JTA today. We had both Darth Maul and the Seventh Sister. It was a lot of fun. This is my middle daughter, being very dramatic in line. I've only seen the videos of the old show and I admit, I was expecting more humor. But it was fun. One little boy was clearly scared and crying just a bit - I can only imagine how big that Darth Vader looked to him. But he got through it with encouragement from his big brother. And when he was done, the whole line of parents cheered for him.

Yulilin is reporting as of 3:35 ~
Characterpalooza is going on outside (the park entrance) right now, Mary P and Bert, stitch, evil queen, dopey...and stormtroopers are patrolling.

On Twitter, @dlrpexpress has posted photos of some of the upcoming SW Original Trilogy Tsum Tsums.

Disneytsumtsum.com has also posted photos. I'm not sure if the release date is for Japan or where. Tsums usually release on the 1st Tuesday of the month for U.S. Disney outlets.

There are much better photos than these on the above sites^^
