Star Wars Launch Bay Reopening Darth Vader and More Characters on July 17 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Star Wars Launch Bay will reopen on July 17 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, having been mostly closed for over two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

When Launch Bay returns, guests will once again be able to meet Chewbacca, BB-8, and Darth Vader up close. Chewbacca has continued to make appearances across the park in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during the closure.

Watch our video of the BB-8 meet and greet:

In 2020, Star Wars Launch Bay was used as a Relaxation Station. It later reopened as a walkthrough exhibit but has mostly remained closed.
