During this special event, visitors can dive deeper into the Star Wars universe with exclusive character encounters, unique food and beverage offerings, and immersive new experiences within the land.
Whether you’re joining the Resistance, trading with smugglers, or encountering the dark side, this is the perfect time to visit Batuu and embrace the spirit of the Force.
A Legacy in Lightspeed: 10 Years of Season of the Force
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first Season of the Force, which debuted in 2015 to celebrate and promote The Force Awakens film in the parks. Each year, the event has adapted to the ever-expanding Star Wars universe, incorporating elements from The Last Jedi, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and beyond.
Since then, it has become a must-visit event for lifelong fans and newcomers. We expect its tradition to continue for many years to come, expanding the adventure in ways only Disney and Lucasfilm can imagine.
Limited-Time Galactic Wonders: Exclusive Offerings of Season of the Force
This edition brings back beloved favorites like the Millennium Falcon Chocolate Lollipop and the Toydaria Swirl.
However, the real excitement comes from the new offerings, especially the Fried Falumpaset Cheese Skewer, a crispy, golden-fried treat exclusive to Ronto Roasters. Inspired by the giant creatures of Naboo, this savory snack delivers a bold and unique flavor experience.
Exciting Meet-and-Greet Experiences You Won’t Want to Miss!
One of this year’s most unexpected character additions is young Luke Skywalker and his loyal companion, R2-D2, who will be meeting guests in Batuu for a limited time.
Given Galaxy’s Edge’s established timeline, their appearance raises intriguing questions about the future of the land and how characters from different eras might be incorporated. Whether this signals a shift in storytelling or a special exception for Season of the Force, one thing is certain: This is a rare and exciting opportunity to meet the legendary Jedi at Disneyland.
Additionally, some famous figures may make special appearances during the event as part of its exclusive offerings. Ashley Eckstein—the voice of Ahsoka Tano in The Clone Wars and founder of Her Universe—attended the opening day and unveiled her latest Star Wars-inspired collection. Fans can find the new line at The Star Trader and Star Wars Trading Post.
Must-Have Merchandise Landing to Galaxy’s Edge.
As anticipated, a wave of new merchandise is landing just in time for Season of the Force. Popcorn bucket collectors will be thrilled to discover a Death Star souvenir now available for purchase and a detailed Darth Vader Premium Mug that includes a soft drink of their choice.
Great news for fans of headbands and ears! Disneyland is introducing Star Wars plush characters to the Create Your Own Headband experience for the first time ever. Guests can now customize their headbands with adorable plush versions of Yoda, R2-D2, an Ewok, Darth Vader, and a Stormtrooper.
This exciting new offering will be available at Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff, World of Disney, The Mad Hatter, and The Star Trader.
A new nighttime show that will captivate the audience.
Walt Disney World is known for its unique skill in merging innovative technology with powerful storytelling, delivering experiences that deeply connect with guests. Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga continues this tradition, offering a stunning visual and auditory journey through the Skywalker legacy.
The show paints the spires of Batuu with breathtaking scenes from the films while the iconic music score swells in the background, bringing each moment to life in a way that can move even the most unshakable heart to tears.
The experience is timed perfectly with fireworks and light displays, amplifying the saga’s emotional depth. The show is a moving tribute to the Skywalkers and their enduring impact on the galaxy.
Check the schedule for showtimes, which may vary depending on the day and special events. Planning ahead will ensure you don’t miss this unforgettable experience.
While Season of the Force is currently a Disneyland exclusive, we know Star Wars fans would love to see it come to Walt Disney World.
