It's Disney Live Entertainment, which is a division of WDI. Parades, stage shows, nighttime spectaculars, etc. across the entire experiences portfolio fall under DLE.
OK here is the big political question: Was this show made by Disney Live Entertainment,..."without",...Lucasfilm's blessing? Was this a rogue project that was given a green light from "outside" Lucasfilm?

A show like this is VERY much NOT what Kathleen Kennedy want's to see. It's been said that John Favereau had to HIDE his Luke Skywalker episode from almost the entire crew....including almost all the post production engineers. Reports say that Kennedy was furious when she found out because it was done without her knowledge and purposefully hidden from her.

The fact that this projection show even exists right now....is stunning.

It does look really cool. Ive seen little clips here and there but trying to avoid spoilers. Although not sure I'll ever get around to seeing it in person. At least for a while. First showing is at 8:30pm, people camp out early and apparently there are not many good viewing spots. Not sure it's worth the hassle with the kids. Cant see myself devoting 2+ hours for this ten minute show. In other words, I may as well go ahead and just watch the whole video. hahah
I went opening night and went to the second showing and found plenty of room near the Falcon 15 minutes before the start. They make you go a long way around down the ramp next to Docking bay so maybe people kinda gave up thinking it was already closed to capacity the patio area was full next to Docking bay.

As for the show I felt it was good and looked great visually but not sure its a must see to repeat everytime I am there kinda show. Knowing they could add pyro makes it feel little bit lacking and wanted a little more excitement. I was standing next to one of the techs with a laptop out and he discussed with management after the show about tweaks they are making as the show progresses. He was standing pretty much in the middle of the viewing area next to falcon so that tells me that might be the sweet spot to stand.

Good to know but I don’t think I’ll ever be attending the 10:30pm show with the kids.

I don't believe one word of this.

I have to assume that LFL was involved in some way even if just for consulting, as its the case when Studios content is used in the parks for them to at least consult on the project.

Not saying this is "fact". I'm only saying these are reports about what happened.
They aren't reports. They are made up hate-mongering lies.

You know about all the websites and vlogs that "report" that based on insider information that Kathleen Kennedy is about to be fired, don't you? These same insider reports that have been perpetuated for a decade?

That a series director would or could hide the hiring of Mark Hamill from the studio's boss is pretty ridiculous.

But the hallmark of these so-called reports has always been how utterly fantastical and unmoored from any sort of reasonableness they are.

They gain traction amongst haters because they reinforce their emotion. Brain not engaged at all.

So are you are saying that you have "factual" knowledge that these reports are 100% wrong? If so, I would love to know what it is that you know.

Or,...do you just not believe it because it sounds too bad to be true,...and that is good enough for you?

Is is possible? Yes,...absolutely. it's QUITE "possible". Is it actually "probable"?

I admittedly don't know and I'm not as sure as you seem to be for some reason.

It's up to those who "report" that such a thing happened to provide proof of an outrageously unlikely scenario.

Echoing such unfounded reports is not sharing a rumor, it's gossipping. Gossipping fueled by an echo chamber of unreasonable hate.

If people don't like KK's decisions, fine... don't like them.

Making stuff up and sharing it is childish.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

I don't personally believe those reports but calling other posters childish bc you disagree is.....

Why would anyone believe that the head of the studio didn’t know that the main character of the original trilogy was in one of their projects?

The disagreement is not about opinions. If someone has a difference of opinion with me, I don't say their opinion is childish. I like chocolate, you hate it. Nothing childish about that.

But this isn't a different of opinion. It's a difference of establishing fact.

If someone is of the opinion that a celebrity they hate is a Satanist simply because someone on the internet says so without proof, that's not really an opinion, now, is it? It's about gullibility because of 'feelings.' And repeating that 'report' and spreading it around is not an opinion. It's about wanting to hurt someone they're angry at.

A vengeful attack on a person's character based on nothing reliable is not an opinion.

"Unlikely"??.....OK that's possible.

"Outrageous"??...no, this is Hollywood politics. Far,....FAR stranger things have happened in this company and in this town than little stuff like this.

"Unreasonable hate"....Holy smoke dude,....it ain't THAT damn bad. Take a deep breath, buddy. Everything is going to be OK. Easy there.....wow.

Are you close friends or related to KK in any way?

It absolutely is that bad. Maybe not on this site but it is on others.

that's not really the point - if someone believes something they should be able to share it without being insulted or talked down to.

But you're claiming to be the sole arbiter of facts, without any evidence yourself! It's your opinion that this person's feelings are gullible. It's also your opinion that the intention of these reports are merely vengeful attacks.

I think it's entirely plausible that the internal politics at Lucasfilm have gotten very nasty, I even think it's plausible that certain decisions may have been "hidden" or conveniently omitted from reports for longer than they were supposed to. While I certainly don't find it plausible that this whole Luke-Mandalorian scenario played out exactly as described but when it comes to these sort of internal corporate power struggles, the industry press tends toward hyperbole and exaggeration.

But again, that's my opinion
