The Disney Parks Blog has shared more details about changes coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios that will give guests the opportunity to experience Star Wars in the park in an all-new way, every day.

New experiences will open starting December 1.

Star Wars Launch Bay will take guests into the Star Wars saga and the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with special exhibits and behind-the-scenes peeks, special merchandise and opportunities to encounter Chewbacca and Darth Vader.

Star Tours – The Adventures Continue will be home to a brand-new adventure inspired by the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. During the opening months, everyone who rides Star Tours will experience the new adventure. After that, it will be up to the will of the Force.

“Star Wars: Path of the Jedi” is a compilation film that will feature scenes from the complete Star Wars saga, also giving anyone new to the Star Wars galaxy an opportunity to get acquainted with the films.

Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, opening in early December, will be a reimagined Jedi Training experience that will take younglings to the secret site of an ancient Jedi temple where they will face Darth Vader along with the Seventh Sister, a new villain from the Disney XD series “Star Wars Rebels.”

Work begins next year on the 14-acre Star Wars-themed land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that was announced last summer during the D23 EXPO. With construction underway, Star Wars Weekends will NOT be offered.

But with Star Wars Launch Bay, the new Jedi Training experience, “Star Wars: Path of the Jedi” and a new destination in the Star Tours attraction opening in December, you’ll be able to step into the Star Wars saga every time you visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
