The after hours (8p - 1a) event will be held at Disney's Hollywood Studios as a part of the Star Wars Celebration V. Events include a "Death Star Disco", a Star Wars-themed fireworks show and the chance to be one of the last to ride Star Tours before it goes down for its transformation to Star Tours 2. While the event is a part of Star Wars Celebration V, it is separately ticketed and you do not have to attend Star Wars Celebration V to attend this event.</p>

Seems odd that they would do it this way. Course, this is the same company that sold MSEP lightbulbs under the "own a piece of history - going away forever" banner, so I guess anything's possible.
