Disneyland has canceled the popular Jedi Training Academy that lets light saber-wielding young padawans duel Kylo Ren and Darth Vader in advance of the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

After a 12-year run, the last performance of Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple on the Tomorrowland Terrace stage will be held on Nov. 3, Disneyland officials confirmed.

The Jedi Training Academy trains novice Jedi Knights in the ways of the Force and basic light saber skills before sending them up on stage to go toe-to-toe with an Imperial villain.

Disneyland officials declined to say if a version of the Jedi Training Academy would be incorporated into the new 14-acre Star Wars themed land at Disneyland.

“At the Disneyland Resort, we continually refine and adjust our creative entertainment offerings while still preserving the guest experience,” Disneyland said in a prepared statement.

Disney employees working on the show received notice of the cancellation of Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, MousePlanet reported.

“My heart is breaking that the show is leaving, but I have hope that a new show will come when the new Star Wars land opens,” former Jedi trainer Natalie Atkins wrote on Facebook, according to Disney fan website WDW News Today.

It makes sense that Disney would move the Jedi Training Academy from Tomorrowland to the new themed land based on the “Star Wars” movie franchise. Hyper-focused on storytelling, Disney goes to great lengths to place its beloved characters in story-appropriate settings throughout the theme park. You’ll never see Cinderella wandering around Frontierland. Similarly, costumed characters never appear in two different places in the park at once. That means Darth Vader will be hanging out in Galaxy’s Edge rather Tomorrowland next summer.

Disney will be putting a heavy emphasis on storytelling and character interaction when the Galaxy’s Edge themed lands open at Disneyland in summer 2019 and Walt Disney World in fall 2019. The new lands will feature walk-around characters and creatures that interact with visitors as part of a continually-developing story line that evolves and progresses throughout the day.

The decision to cancel the Anaheim show will not affect Jedi Training performances at Disney’s Hollywood Studios near Orlando, officials said.
