The Empire took over Walt Disney World last night and turned the Epcot Spaceship Earth into the Death Star. Good Morning America was there to capture all the festivities as Disney Parks Blog hosted “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” actor Mads Mikkelsen, who plays Death Star designer Galen Erso, an Imperial officer, and Stormtroopers in a 30-minute presentation. Disney also announced that Hollywood Studios and “Star Wars” Launch Bay will be updated with new props from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and the AWR Troopers from the upcoming film will be added to the roster. After the jump you can watch both a brief video of Spaceship Earth being transformed into the Death Star and a 30-minute one of the whole event.
