A very special thanks to Lance Parker @NotAgain1 on Twitter for these videos.
The new Limited Edition Star Wars Day MagicBands I posted about yesterday do indeed make special lights and sounds at entry points, it just took them a day to turn them on. It’s unknown if the effect has been turned on for FastPass+ yet.
Here are the videos:
May the 4th Be With you – This band makes a stuttering orange ring and what appears to sound like maybe an X-Wing fighter flying by?

Revenge of the 5th – This band makes a stuttering gray ring and what sounds like Darth Vader’s evil breathing.

I have purchased the band today and it was not working at Hollywood Studios at neither the Fastpass+ entrances or touch points at the front of the park. I walked over to Guest Relations and they said these MagicBands are surprise effects so it’s not guaranteed that the effects will work every time. Just a heads up to others that want to purchase these limited edition MagicBands.
I’ll let you know tomorrow! I’ll be that way in the morning!
The band did work on the great movie ride fast pass!
Will LE bands from a few years ago, like the 2014 Halloween Party band, still make special lights and sounds?
Yep, they should!
Are the band supposed to work at all parks?
