With Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hitting theaters Dec. 16, and Disney having the rights to the Star Wars franchise, one of Epcot’s most popular attractions is getting a temporary makeover.
For one night, fans will get to see the Epcot spaceship transformed into the Death Star at a special after-hours event on Dec. 5. While this isn’t the first time Disney has done something like this, it certainly will excite Star Wars diehards.
Here’s how Disney described the change in a recent blog post.
During our Star Wars celebration, Spaceship Earth will be transformed into the Death Star through digital projections. And before the Death Star appears, we will be sharing updates on current and upcoming Star Wars experiences at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Back in 2013, Disney did a similar thing by turning the spaceship into a figure that resembled Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.
This special makeover is temporary, but Disney has yet to announce exactly when this event will end. For some Star Wars fans, they would like it to be permanent. They started a Facebook group back in 2014 saying that this sort of change should be permanent.
While the event is already sold out, those looking to see the change will be able to via webstream. The stream starts on Dec. 5 at 10:25 p.m. ET.
