In the wake of this morning’s announcement that Star Wars Celebration 2020– previously scheduled for late August at the Anaheim Convention Center– has been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Disneyland Resort has also announced that the Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite after-hours event scheduled for the same week has now been postponed to a later (as yet unrevealed) date.
Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite would have helped kick off Star Wars Celebration 2020 with a night full of “unique entertainment, special food, one-of-a-kind photo opportunities, collectible merchandise and more.”
What’s happening:
- Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite has been postponed to an as-yet-unannounced future date. The event was previously scheduled for August 27, 2020 in conjunction with Star Wars Celebration at the nearby Anaheim Convention Center.
- Star Wars Celebration was also cancelled earlier this morning due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
- An earlier iteration of the Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite event was held in March of 2018 in advance of the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story.
- This year’s event would have been the first one to be held after the opening of Disneyland’s immersive Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge area, although access to the popular Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction would not have been available.
- Though the Disney Parks Blog update claims there is more information available, the only further comments we can find applies to the also-postponed Disneyland After Dark: Villains Nite event: “We are working on rescheduling options and hope to have more to share soon.”
What they’re saying:
- Disney Parks Blog: “In light of the recent cancelation of Star Wars Celebration, we are making the decision to postpone Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite event to a later date.”
