DLP have officially confirmed that this will open in July however unlike the one in WDW which is for 4-12 year olds the one in DLP will be for 7-12 year olds but not sure why.  :'(

I think that is for the language issues. As 4 year old kids don't speak english and a lot of seven year old a lot more because of Dora and Diego etc.

I've three boys age. 10,6 and. 5. That makes for two pretty upset little brothers who won't understand why they can't join in

I don't think language is the issue to be honest, there's plenty of guests visiting the parks that don't or barely speak English, even adults.
I think it probably has more to do with trying to include as many children as possible that try to participate, cutting out the 4, 5 and 6 year olds means a lot more spaces are available.

It's sad in any case, I don't have kids but I feel bad for the little ones that love Star Wars that can't join in.

I think that a LOT of parents with kids that are too young but could pass or 7 will just pass their kids off as 7.
Knowing DLP it's not like they're going to ask for passports to check their age ^^

It was a highlight for our boys aged 9 and 7. The Jedi Master was brilliant as was Darth Vadar. The age limit is more to do with the kids having to perform on stage in front of an audience and being able to obey instructions.

It's brilliant my oldest really enjoyed it.the jedi masters spoke all languages and arranged English, French kids together,they were really good,they do perform on stage in front of lots of people, so I would say 7 and up is fair.i have a 6 year old and he would be scared when darth vader came.. High light of our holiday just wished I could of joined in!

My 'seven' year old little boy absolutely adored this! It was the highlight of his trip. In fact he said it was the best part of his life so far!
