Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

I'm liking this.... though from what I've heard, if I'd actually had seen the Holiday Special, I probably wouldn't...

Bea Arthur is regarded as one of the few good parts of the Holiday Special alongside the Boba Fett cartoon. But really, the only sane way to watch it is the Rifftrax version.

I still have fond memories of the Holiday Special. Sure, I look back on it now and recognize that it was garbage, but through the eyes of a kid, it was the coolest thing ever.

Did the store close that was the end of Disney Animation? They sold some great Disney art there. It's where we got our DHS print when we were looking for a print from all four parks. Even if it remains, I supposed it will be all Star Wars related merch.

It is closed, but some of the art relocated to Stage 1 Company Store (also known as the Muppet store)

The Store was called Art of Disney and they have several of them scattered all over property.

Dang, is there any shot at any early previews by November 21st? I'm assuming they are probably planning to open the doors along with the movie.

FYI, some has also turned up at the Indiana Jones store.

Yeah i thought for sure it would be open for us in November

 

[jazzinator]

Still hoping for a soft open around Thanksgiving.

 

[ninjaprincesst]

You would think they would have opened in November so it would open well before the movie

They probably have merchandise and such that is "spoilery" so not going on sale until after the movie is out. J.J. Abrams is pretty secretive.

I hope there is a chance it is early December... I'll be there and really want to check it out.. Hopefully it works out. haha

Does the Star Wars Launch Bay will have a food court?

Does the Star Wars Launch Bay will have a food court?

Ha! Every time I see "Launch Bay", I read it as "Lunch Bay".

I don't think there is any food. Sounds like it will be all displays, interactions with characters, and probably merchandise for sale.

I don't think it'll have a food court, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a small snack bar or ODV cart selling some sort of Star Wars treat nearby.
