The Jedi Academy stage will open later this year and will host 8 shows a day. New Jedi Academy merchandise is already available for sale in Tatooine Traders at the exit of Star Tours.
Contrary to other reports this is the ONLY change at Star Tours, as confirmed by Steve Sansweet earlier this month.
“They are indeed building a home for the Jedi Training Academy in Florida, after a very successful version opened in California several months ago. As of this moment, it’s status quo on anything else.”
