The Walt Disney Company Korea and Lotte Corporation said Tuesday they will host a Star Wars fan festival in the Lotte World Tower area of Jamsil, in southern Seoul, from May 1 to May 17. The event, titled “Star Wars Day 2026 in Jamsil,” will carry the theme “One with the Force” and coincide with Star Wars Day, observed each year on May 4. The date plays on the franchise’s signature line, “May the Force be with you,” and its phonetic echo in “May the fourth.” The Walt Disney Company Korea has held Star Wars Day events in Korea since 2015. The centerpiece of the festival is the Star Wars Arena, an outdoor installation on the Lotte World Tower plaza open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. throughout the event period.

The space will also feature a cockpit simulation of the Razor Crest and a scouting mission activity set on the planet
