The event will run from May 4 to May 24, 2026, coinciding with the cinema release of The Mandalorian and Grogu. These activities are scheduled to take place primarily within Discoveryland at Disneyland Park, with additional appearances in Videopolis Theatre.
Character Appearances and Locations
Visitors can expect to cross paths with characters from both the light and dark sides of the Force. On May 4, 2026, R2-D2 will be roaming Discoveryland. Stormtroopers will also be patrolling the top of Starport, searching for rebel spies.

Other key figures include Chewbacca, who will be available for roarsome encounters until May 24. The BDX droids will remain in Videopolis Theatre. Guests may also face Darth Vader or Rey at Starport. This demonstration of Imperial power features Darth Vader leading a company of stormtroopers on May 4 only.
