The week, hundreds of Disney Parks Blog readers joined us for a special after-hours meet-up that celebrated the upcoming release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with a once-in-a-lifetime transformation of Spaceship Earth into the Death Star.

During the event, we shared updates on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story inspired additions coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and a surprise visit from one of the stars of the upcoming film – Mads Mikkelsen. If you missed our live stream, here’s a quick look at the night.
