Have you ever been to Epcot at Walt Disney World? It’s hard to miss the park’s icon, Spaceship Earth, at the entrance of the park. It looks like a giant golf ball and can be seen for miles around. Tonight, however, the golf ball became the Death Star in preparation of Lucasfilm’s upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Watch here:
From the Disney Parks Blog:
Star Wars fans and Disney Parks Blog readers experienced the once-in-a-lifetime transformation of Spaceship Earth at the park as well as online during our “Inside Disney Parks-LIVE” coverage of the event.
During the meet-up, Mads Mikkelsen – who plays Galen Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – made a surprise visit and joined us for a quick question-and-answer session. Mads talked about the character he’s playing and shared what it was like to be part of a Star Wars film.
Among the night’s announcements, we shared that AWR Troopers from the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will soon debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Star Wars Launch Bay will be updated with new props from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens in U.S. theaters on December 16, 2016.
