In the middle of an already packed night of galactic entertainment, guests were treated to a surprise appearance from a familiar face in the Star Wars universe, and yes, it sent the crowd into full fan mode.
During one of the event nights at Disneyland’s limited-time Star Wars Nite, actor Sam Witwer, best known as the voice of Darth Maul in multiple Star Wars projects, made an unexpected appearance.
Witwer appeared at Tomorrowland Terrace, where he was introduced on stage and briefly spoke to guests about his connection to the iconic Sith Lord and his involvement in the Star Wars universe.

The surprise pairing created a high-energy, fan-favorite moment, with crowds cheering, filming, and fully embracing the unexpected crossover between voice actor and character.
It’s the kind of immersive, only-at-Disney experience that makes special events like this so popular.
