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

Reading it again for the 4th time, I think it refers to Phasma's march. Because it seems that sentence before is listing the 3 new changes. Stage show, Phasma's march with troopers and nighttime show.

you might be right

I am super excited about this! We are going in July and have never seen Star Wars Fireworks, so was hoping they would extend SitS rather than switch over to the Frozen ones, but this sounds even better!

Now that looks fun. I'm not a big Fantasmic fan, this would be ideal for me, too bad I'm not going until 2017!!!

And starting this summer, fans won’t want to miss the grand debut of a new Star Wars fireworks show, “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular.” This new nightly show is the next generation of the current Star Wars-inspired fireworks show. The show will combine fireworks, pyrotechnics, special effects and video projections that will turn the nearby Chinese Theater and other buildings into the twin suns of Tatooine, a field of battle droids, the trench of the Death Star, Starkiller Base and other Star Wars destinations. The show will be punctuated with a tower of fire and spotlight beams, creating massive lightsabers in the sky. This new show will be the most elaborate fireworks display to take place in the history of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

I'm very excited for this! I wonder when it actually starts?!

It looks like we will have the same fireworks until the new ones in Summer...or do we think SitS will stop in April and we will only have this new show until Summer?
Why do they have to write so vaguely?

Yeah, I hate the vagueness of their writing. I'm assuming that the new fireworks will start sometime in May because of the way the scheduling for SitS had previously been announced, but of course, could be very very wrong. I just know that in the past when Disney has said "Summer" they often meant May - for example the opening of the Mine Train ride and previous SWW.

Doesn't it state this will start April 4?

More info straight from the HUB
Starting April 4th
Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away: This new live, stage show celebrates iconic moments from the Star Wars saga with live vignettes featuring popular Star Wars characters, such as Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, Darth Vader and Darth Maul. The show will take place multiple times each day at the Center Stage area near The Great Movie Ride.

Stormtroopers March: At various times each day, the menacing Captain Phasma will lead a squad of First Order stormtroopers as they march in formation from Star Wars Launch Bay to the Center Stage area in an intimidating demonstration of the First Order’s indomitable strength.
What are the new Star Wars experiences are coming this summer?
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular: As the next generation of the current Star Wars-inspired fireworks show, this blockbuster nightly show, unprecedented in Disney’s Hollywood Studios history, will light up the sky with Star Wars-themed fireworks, lasers, light projections and other special effects combined with Star Wars-themed music and iconic characters and scenes from throughout the saga.


Through these state-of-the-art special effects that project onto the nearby Chinese Theatre and other surrounding buildings, guests will gaze at the twin suns of Tatooine, push through a field of battle droids, navigate through an asteroid field, soar down the trench of the Death Star and deliver the final blow to destroy Starkiller Base. The show, which will unfold through a series of acts, will be punctuated by a tower of fire as well as powerful spotlight beams that create lightsabers in the sky.

Will you be offering a dessert party with the new firework and projection show?
Details are still being finalized and we look forward to sharing more information in the future.

It sounds that the new show in Summer: Star Wars A Galactic Spectacular (SWaGS) will not offer as much as fireworks themselves and this would make sense since they will have already started construction on the areas where the fireworks are usually launched from. Of course there's that whole permit that was filed behind DHS for fireworks launch, so we will see, just me speculating

No, it states that the stage show and the stormtroopers marching with Capt. Phasma starts 4/4. Fireworks, it just states "summer".

April 4th is the stage show, the new fireworks/projection show just says Summer

Rereading: new Star Wars stage show and procession
Could this be a sort of parade followed by the show on stage?

Reading it again for the 4th time, I think it refers to Phasma's march. Because it seems that sentence before is listing the 3 new changes. Stage show, Phasma's march with troopers and nighttime show.

Also starting April 4, Captain Phasma will begin leading a platoon of First Order stormtroopers on a march from Star Wars Launch Bay to Center Stage multiple times each day.

Sounds like an "entertainment event" on it's own start April 4th.
- Processional March
- Stage Show

Then sometime this summer (assume it depends on completion of new firework bunker/launch site)
- Fireworks

Frozen fans like myself will get to see Anna and Elsa in the new stage show at the castle.

I missed the procession part, and I read it through several times. Good catch.

No offense meant to the sisters. I liked the movie. I like the shot in the arm it has given to Disney. I was fine with the first Frozen summer at DHS but not exceptionally impressed with the firework show. Loved the girly pastel colors, different, and some snow but hated the show that caused so much dead time in the sky if you weren't stage front. I think they need to find some good spots like their Ride/M&G in Epcot (I'm fine with it), parts in MK show and parade, Olaf coming to DHS .... I have tired that it's their go to theme for everything - they keep showing a lack of creativity (last years 24 hour event in MK).

But when you have one of the best fireworks shows ever with the Star Wars it would have been a blow this summer to take a step backwards and let them return.

We saw them earlier this month....thought they were the best fireworks we've seen

 

[BrianL]

Cool. Glad they are adding things and it's nice to see positive news!

 

[amg35]

I sure hope it's a success and they keep it for a while! (like until at least Nov 2017)

 

[amg35]

I think this may be even newer from what you saw this month? It says it will debut in the summer.

Great news! Nice addition, WDW!

There's no question that the current version of Star Wars fireworks far surpasses any fireworks that have been shows in the past. And it's going to be getting even more exciting.

I'm fine with the Norway additions and can't wait to see Olaf!! However, even the huge Frozen fan in me would find it hard to swallow if they added an extension on to Illuminations of Frozen like they do the for the holiday. I actually do draw the Frozen line somewhere.

Nice...we are going back in October for the food and wine festival....would love to see fireworks then as well

 

[Jennasis]

Thrilled we get to see this (or most of it even if the fireworks aren't up and running yet) for our May trip. We HAD planned way back when to make this mid May trip our SWW trip and almost cancelled when the event got canned. But we decided to go anyway for F&G...so now we get to see the new SW stuff! Will be there in September too so the fireworks should be up by then.
