Droids, Wookiees and Storm Troopers, oh my! Creatures from that beloved galaxy far, far away will be taking over Disney's Hollywood Studios for four entire weekends. Feel the power of the force, as it combines with the magic of the Walt Disney World Resorts, during Star Wars Weekends.

During May and June, Disney's Hollywood Studios is transformed and becomes home to a group of out-of-this-world characters from the popular Star Wars saga. Fans from all over the world come to Central Florida to mingle with Wookiees, Sith, droids, Jedi, bounty hunters, Rodians and those adorable teddy bear like creatures, the Ewoks.

Star Wars characters will be roaming the streets of Hollywood and will be available for meet and greet sessions. Don't forget to stop by and take part in the Jedi Training Academy. Young guests will be invited to learn from a Jedi Master on the main stage and then test their newly acquired skills in a battle with the most powerful Sith, Darth Vader.

Event exclusive merchandise is available, as well as one-of-a-kind Star Wars memorabilia. There will also be a Star Wars themed parade and a trivia contest. You will be able to meet famous Star Wars actors and creative geniuses behind the magic of the movies.

Before leaving hop a ride on a runaway Starspeeder on your way to the Endor Moon aboard Star Tours.

Star Wars weekends will be held May 22-24, May 29-31, June 5-7 and June 12-14. This special event is included in your Magic Your Way ticket to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
