Rides may be the biggest attraction of theme parks, but they’ve been known to put on some pretty spectacular shows. Stage performances, live musicals, and fireworks shows have all been part of Disney’s brand for years. But now that they’ve acquired new properties, many wondered how they’d incorporate them into their parks.

There also seems to be a live, on stage Star Wars Rebels show.
