Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise centered on a film series created by George Lucas. In 1986 before Disney's acquisition of the franchise, George Lucas had established a partnership with Disney and its Walt Disney Imagineering division to create Star Tours, an attraction that opened at Disneyland in 1987. The attraction also had subsequent incarnations at other Disney Parks worldwide, except for Hong Kong Disneyland (though there was a Stormtrooper Parade on Main Street before).
The attractions at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios closed in 2010 and at Tokyo Disneyland in 2012, to allow the rides to be converted into Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. The successor attraction opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland in 2011, and Tokyo Disneyland in 2013.
The Jedi Training Academy is a live show where children are selected to learn the teachings of the Jedi and Force to become Padawan learners. The show is present at the Rebels stage at Disney's Hollywood Studios and the Tomorrowland Terrace at Disneyland.
The Walt Disney World's Disney's Hollywood Studios park hosts an annual festival, Star Wars Weekends during specific dates from May to June. The event began in 1997.
