Mousetalgia Episode 484: Star Wars – Secrets of the Empire VR, Disneyland After Dark
This week, Mousetalgia discusses some recent exciting happenings at the Disneyland Resort. First, Mousetalgia correspondent John Garcia reports on “Throwback Nite,” the first of a string of planned special ticket “Disneyland After Dark” events. John talks about the atmosphere, the food, the entertainment, and the special features that made this first in a series of Disneyland evening events a very special night. Then, Jeff reports on the latest Star Wars happenings at the resort, including a review of the Void’s “Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire” VR experience currently operating in Downtown Disney. We discuss the parts of the attraction that hit the mark, and a few notes that are slightly off key. Finally, Jeff reports on a panel discussion with Lucasfilm art directors from “The Last Jedi” held at Gallery Nucleus, and shares some secrets from the making of the films.
