Disneyland is sharing some fresh details about its upcoming Star Wars celebration.
Season of the Force returns to Disneyland on April 5 through June 2. As part of the Star Wars-themed celebration, the park is creating an all-new experience for its fireworks shows.
Guests inside Disneyland's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge land long have been able to watch the fireworks exploding over the park. But during Season of the Force, Disneyland will recast its fireworks experience as "Fire of the Rising Moons."
Inside Galaxy's Edge during the festival, Disneyland guests will hear the fireworks accompanied by music from new Disney Legend John Williams' Star Wars film scores. The fireworks and music will be accessible in multiple locations around the land, including the Black Spire Spaceport - the home of the Millennium Falcon.
"During this special gathering, villagers and visitors will come together to celebrate their freedom and to honor the heroes and legends of the galaxy who came before them," the park said in a press release.
Across the park, in Tomorrowland, Hyperspace Mountain will return for Season of the Force, as previously announced. And Star Tours - The Adventurers Continue will add a new scene traveling to Peridea, with urgent transmissions from Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor and other characters. Special Star Wars-themed merchandise, food, and drinks also will be available.

I can't imagine from where Disney could launch those fireworks. Maybe some roof-level pyro, but that would be it.
Now if Disney would do that and flood the land with characters, and maybe give us another roof-top lightsaber fight or two, then they'd have a nice little immersive nighttime spectacle in the land.

This really sounds like a complete "nothingburger". The only saving grace would be if they play the "Yub Yub" Ewok victory song from the original Return of the Jedi soundtrack (not the newer symphonic score used on the Special Edition).
Is there any chance Disneyland could use supplemental fireworks only viewable in Galaxy's Edge or extra lighting effects that would not distract from viewing the show elsewhere in the park? To me, that would be the only reason to do this and not just view the show from a traditional location or just use the time when guests are standing around staring at the sky to take advantage of shorter ride lines.
