  • The Star Wars franchise has spawned several attractions at multiple Disney themed parks, starting before Disney's acquisition of the franchise from George Lucas. Lucas established a partnership in 1986 with the company's Imagineering division to create an attraction at Disney parks. The first such attraction, Star Tours, opened at Disneyland in 1987, with several versions opening at other Disney theme parks over the following years. The Star Tours rides at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios closed in 2010, while Tokyo Disneyland's version closed in 2012 and Disneyland Paris' in 2016. All of the original Star Tours rides were then refurbished into Star Tours–The Adventures Continue. The new attraction randomly shuffles several scenes, allowing up to 54 combinations of different adventures. The successor attraction opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland in 2011, at Tokyo Disneyland in 2013, and at Disneyland Paris in 2017. From 1997 to 2015, Disney's Hollywood Studios park hosted Star Wars Weekends, an annual festival, during specific dates from May to June. Since 2007, the parks include the live show Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, where children are selected to learn the teachings of the Jedi Knights and the Force to become Padawan learners; the show is present at Disney's Hollywood Studios and at the Tomorrowland Terrace at Disneyland. Since November 2015, Disneyland hosts a seasonal Star Wars-themed event entitled Season of the Force, which also runs in Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. An exhibition called Star Wars Launch Bay, featuring exhibits and meet-and-greets was also added. Disney, which bought the Star Wars franchise in 2012, has expressed plans to expand the franchise's presence in all of their theme parks. In 2015, a 14-acre Star Wars-themed land expansion, titled Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, was announced. The area debuted at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2019 and includes two new attractions. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a deluxe resort to be built near Disney's Hollywood Studios, was also announced in 2017. In addition to the attractions at the various Disney parks, the Museum of Science collaborated with Lucasfilm Ltd. to create an exhibition on the science behind Star Wars. (en)
  • Peu après la création par George Lucas de l'univers de science-fiction de Star Wars, l'idée de développer des attractions Star Wars pour le domaine des loisirs et les parcs d'attractions est apparue. Lucas est sollicité entre autres par Walt Disney Productions et, dans les années 1980, il accorde à Disney une licence pour adapter toutes les créations originales de Lucasfilm, dont Star Wars, dans leurs parcs à thèmes. La première attraction ouvre en 1987. Il s'agit de Star Tours, un simulateur de vol qui transporte les visiteurs dans divers lieux emblématiques de la saga. Une étape importante survient en 2012, quand Disney acquiert Lucasfilm et lance dans la foulée la production de nouveaux films. Star Tours, l'attraction phare, est rénovée et devient Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. Dans certains parcs, Space Mountain est rethématisée et renommée Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain. Rapidement de nouveaux projets émergent et, au milieu des années 2010, Disney lance un projet de zone thématique uniquement dédiée à la franchise Star Wars, avec pour objectif de rendre l'expérience du visiteur la plus immersive possible. Les zones Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge ouvrent en 2019 dans les parcs américains. Les attractions Star Wars sont particulièrement appréciées des visiteurs et font partie des plus populaires des parcs Disney. L'une des raisons avancées est leur côté immersif. Dans cette volonté de renforcer l'immersion des visiteurs dans l'univers Star Wars, l'hôtel Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser ouvre en 2022 à Walt Disney World Resort. Celui-ci propose une expérience se rapprochant du jeu de rôle grandeur nature durant laquelle les clients ne quittent pratiquement pas l'hôtel. (fr)
