We have some out-of-this galaxy news to share today! If you're a fan of all things Star Wars you'll be happy to hear that there are some new Star Wars-themed experiences coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Spaceship Earth is transformed into the Death Star
On Monday night Epcot's iconic Spaceship Earth was transformed into the Death Star as part of a Rogue One: A Star Wars Story meet-up.
At the event Disney announced several new Star Wars-themed experiences that are coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios this year and next.
The AWR Troopers from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will soon make their debut at the Studios as part of a new scene in the Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away daytime show.
Guests visiting Star Wars Launch Bay will have a chance to see props from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story including Shoretrooper Blasters, a Death Star model, and more. Footage of the making of the film will be added to the behind-the-scenes film in the Launch Bay Theater.

Star wars....star wars...star wars. I love it. However my wife hates it. Her sisters hate it and now they i go to hollywood studios by myself. Do any other familes experience this and does anyone think Disney maybe investing too much for the star wars fan and not thinking about the ones who dislike it?
