Darth Vader Claims the Jedi Training Academy Stage
Darth Vader has officially claimed a new territory at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Sith Lord has relocated from his previous spot in the Star Tours outdoor queue to the Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple stage. You can find his new base of operations in the Echo Lake area, right near the entrance to Star Tours – The Adventures Continue.

The Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple stage is no longer vacant! Though the interactive show remains on hiatus following the park’s 2020 closure, it now serves as the official base for Lord Vader. If you’re looking to cross lightsabers (or just snap a photo), check your My Disney Experience app for daily sets. Today’s encounters were held between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
This latest move marks Vader’s second relocation in just a few months. After nearly a decade at Star Wars Launch Bay (2015–2025), the Sith Lord was forced to find a new base when that area closed permanently in September 2025. He initially transitioned to the Star Tours outdoor queue, but has now moved once again to take over the nearby Jedi Training stage.
