Disneyland Adds 'Stars Wars' Touches (and New Droids) for 'Season of the Force' Event (sfgate.com)

(Monday April 15, 2024 @03:34AM (EditorDavid) from the Force-awakens dept.)


A monthslong "Star Wars"-themed festival called Season of the Force is now happening at Disneyland — including John Williams compositions in the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land during the park's fireworks. [1]SFGate reports :

> Before the show starts, [2]a voice rings through the land . "Black Spire Outpost has a long and colorful history of heroes and legends, Jedi and Sith, royalty and resistance," it says. "Those who would rule and those who refuse to bow. Here we celebrate that fiery spirit tonight." Then as the first fireworks fly into the sky, the majestic "Star Wars" music begins...

>

> During the day, the land is overrun with tiny robots. Season of the Force also includes daily appearances from the new BDX Droids, cute little "explorer companions," [3]per Disneyland , designed to assist with "exploration and research." These new audio-animatronics [4]interact with guests , clicking and whirring with a surprising amount of personality.

>

> Sabine Wren from "Ahsoka" is also making appearances in Galaxy's Edge during Season of the Force , and there are specialty food offerings in the land like the Celto Slush (a green, pandan-flavored horchata cold brew coffee drink) and the return of Dewback Chili Noodles (spicy fettuccine with ginger-spiced ground pork, broccolini stems and shredded red cabbage).

For the event, Disneyland's long-running Star Tours ride now includes appearances from the Mandalorian (and Grogu), Ahsoka, and Cassian Andor, according to the article. "Also back this year is Hyperspace Mountain, the seasonal overlay of Space Mountain that puts riders into an intergalactic fight between the Resistance and the First Order."

Also appeared in Ashoka, but that's not where she's "from."

Ashoka wasn't very good. In fact none of the TV shows have been, with the exception of Andor. I think the others were victims of being too bland and listening to the most vocal fans too much.

Amazon's Fallout is quite good, if anyone's interested. And 90% woke free!
