Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular (also known as Star Wars: A Galactic Celebration) was a nighttime show at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.[2] The show is based on the Star Wars film series and features fireworks, projection mapping, fire, lasers, fog effects, and searchlights.[3] During the show, Star Wars imagery is projected onto the park's Chinese Theater facade and surrounding buildings around the park's hub on Hollywood Boulevard.[4] The show had its celebrity-filled World Premiere on Friday, June 17, 2016, replacing the park's similarly-themed display, Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic Spectacular.[2]

A second incarnation of the show debuted at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris on January 14, 2017, where the imagery is projected onto The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror on Production Courtyard.[5] It was shown seasonally during the "Season of the Force".
